Make sure you’re hydrated and have a light snack before your appointment to prevent nausea. To begin your IV therapy treatment at Kassir Plastic Surgery in Manhattan, New York City, NY, and New Jersey, a needle will be inserted into one of your veins, causing a brief pinch. As the fluids drip into your bloodstream from the nutrient bag, you may feel a cool sensation or light pressure. You will be able to rest in your chair as nutrients are delivered, and staff will periodically check your vitals and comfort to give you a positive, relaxing experience. You may bring a book, listen to music, or even take a nap.
After about an hour, the needle is removed, and a small bandage is placed over the point of insertion. We’ll make sure you feel okay and that everything’s in check, and then you will be able to leave.
You may feel slightly sore and nauseous as your body adjusts. It’s good to drink water and eat a solid meal to maximize the benefits of the customized plan and minimize fatigue.
