As we age, our skin begins to show the effects of a hectic lifestyle, whether it’s from working too many hours or having a busy family life, and so it becomes more and more important to look after ourselves from the inside out. IV therapy has been used in hospitals for decades to treat dehydration and absorption problems. In a wellness setting it does the same job for people who are run down, recovering from illness or travel, or just not absorbing enough from what they eat. Lynchburg Aesthetics offers IV drips alongside hormone therapy as part of our wellness services in Lynchburg, VA.
All IV therapies are administered by Dr. Carvajal and our expert nursing staff.

What Is IV Therapy?
An IV drip delivers fluids, vitamins and minerals straight into the bloodstream through a small line in your arm. Because it skips digestion, everything in the bag is available to your body right away, which is why hospitals use it for dehydration and why a drip can leave you feeling noticeably better within the hour.
What IV Therapy Is Used For
Most of our Lynchburg patients come in for one of four reasons: they’re dehydrated, they’re worn out, they want a vitamin top-up their diet isn’t giving them, or they want their skin to look better from the inside. Athletes and people recovering from a long trip or a rough week are regulars too.
Beauty Booster
Hydrated skin looks better. A drip with fluids, vitamin C and B vitamins gives your skin what it needs to look plumper and less dull, and most people notice they feel more energetic for a few days afterwards. It’s a good add-on before an event or between facials, and it pairs well with our skin treatments.
Vitamin Deficiency
Your body can’t make vitamin C, so it has to come from food or a supplement, and oral doses are limited by how much your gut absorbs. An IV skips that limit. Vitamin C supports collagen production and immune function, and B vitamins and magnesium are common additions for energy and muscle recovery. If you suspect a deficiency, we’ll talk it through at your consultation rather than guess.
Migraines
Some people who get frequent migraines are low in magnesium, and a drip that includes it can help take the edge off an attack and may reduce how often they come. It isn’t a cure and it isn’t a replacement for what your doctor has prescribed, but plenty of patients find it helps.
General Wellness
When you’re run down, you catch everything going around. A vitamin and hydration drip won’t stop a cold on its own, but topping up vitamin C, zinc and fluids gives your immune system a better shot, especially heading into winter or after a stretch of poor sleep.
IV Therapy FAQ
How long does an IV drip take?
Thirty to sixty minutes, depending on the formula. You sit in a comfortable chair, and most people read or scroll their phone.
Does it hurt?
A small pinch when the line goes in, then nothing. Our nurses place IVs every day.
How often can I have IV therapy?
That depends on why you’re having it. Some patients come monthly, some only before a big event or after a hard week. We’ll suggest a sensible cadence at your first visit.
How much does IV therapy cost in Lynchburg?
Pricing depends on the drip and any add-ons. Call 434-616-4986 for current pricing, or ask at your consultation.
Who shouldn’t have IV therapy?
People with certain heart or kidney conditions, and anyone on medications that affect fluid balance, need a proper review first. That’s why we take a full medical history before your first drip.
