Frequently Asked Questions for IV Hydration Services from Hydrate IV Bar Madison

Question 1

How do IVs work?

Accepted Answer

Intravenous therapy bypasses the GI (gastrointestinal) tract enabling your body to absorb 100% of the vitamins, nutrients & fluids. This method quickly and effectively replenishes your body, resulting in a more energized, healthier and better you!

Question 2

What is an IV Bar?

Accepted Answer

An IV bar is a place where guests can receive IV therapy — starting with a 1 liter of normal saline and a combination of vitamins, minerals, NAD+ or antioxidants of your choice. At our IV bars you’ll find that we do things a little differently. Every IV is administered by an experienced registered nurse in a spa-like atmosphere. Each location is a welcoming and relaxing environment — with comfortable reclining chairs, TVs, blankets, tea, coffee, essential oils, soft music and even eye masks for those who truly want to relax while rehydrating. Wellness begins from within, and our teams are here to help you along your wellness journey.

We pride ourselves in sourcing the best medical supplies for your services and ensure that we hire the most qualified registered nurses to administer them. While you may be able to find more affordable IVs elsewhere, please be aware that they may not have the same professionalism, experience, education, quality, and safety we do at Hydrate IV Bar.

Question 7

How long does the process take?

Accepted Answer

IV Therapy typically takes around 45min-1 hour depending on your unique needs, the type of IV therapy you’re receiving, and whether or not your service requires a Medical Clearance Exam. We inform all clients to allow at least 1 hour for your IV appointments.

For a quicker appointment, vitamin and NAD+ injections are available as well. 
 
If you’re at Hydrate IV Bar for NAD+ IV therapy, this can take anywhere between 1 to 4 hours, with most clients taking about 2 hours on average. NAD+ infusions are administered slower as NAD+ creates energy within your cells, and these infusions can feel differently. For those receiving NAD+ IV therapy, we recommend bringing a book, headphones, your computer, etc. to your appointment to enjoy while you sit back and relax!

For all services, our staff will offer a complimentary beverage of your choice (tea, coffee, or water), and a blanket to keep you comfortable.

Question 8

I'm under 18, can I get an IV?

Accepted Answer

Yes! With a few guidelines… Minors ages 14–17 can receive select IV services from our Mocktail Menu with parental consent. A legal guardian must be present for both the Medical Clearance Exam and during the service itself. Dosages and frequency differ from standard offerings.

Please inquire with your home spa, as not all locations may offer these services. Student memberships may be purchased with parental consent.

Question 9

Does IV therapy hurt?

Accepted Answer

IV therapy is generally a comfortable experience, though everyone’s pain tolerance is a bit different! There is usually a small pinch once the IV is inserted, then once the catheter is in place, the needle is removed and the IV infused comfortably. If desired, we can administer a numbing spray at the injection site prior to your IV Therapy insertion.

Question 10

What are the potential side effects?

Accepted Answer

Other than feeling great afterwards, the IV Therapy side effects are minor and temporary. You may have possible bruising and soreness at the IV site. Rare side effects include risk of infection & allergic reaction. Our medical professionals are well-versed in identifying and managing side effects in the rare case that it should happen.
