It’s a treatment that has become increasingly popular thanks to celebs and their health fads, so our Editor tried it out for herself to see the benefits of having one…
Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy – often referred to as ‘healthy’ cocktails pumped into the bloodstream that combat dehydration, boost energy levels and improve your immune system – have been popular in the celeb world for a while now. With huge names like Rihanna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna and Rita Ora publicly showing their love for the treatment, it’s no wonder that this treatment is rapidly becoming more and more popular in the UAE… And more accessible to the general public.

Understandably, could an IV vitamin drip really make me more energetic, look fresher and boost my immune system? These were the questions going through my mind before my visit to Elite Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Group.
What is IV vitamin therapy?
IV therapy of course differs for everyone, as everybody is different with different needs. When taking vitamins through pill or liquid form, or even from our food, the digestion process means we lose a large portion of those nutrients that we consume.
Individuals can have IV vitamin therapy for all types of wellness and health purposes, including recovery from hangovers and jetlag, fight colds by boosting your immune system, help muscle recovery after a workout, rehydrate the body, for anti-ageing and detox purposes, boost your metabolism and even aid weight loss… As well as giving a boost of energy!
Where can I get IV vitamin therapy, and what are the benefits?
During my visit, I was given an energy boosting IV drip that would rehydrate my body, relieve body pain and muscle aches, boost my immune system, give my body a boost of antioxidants and even regulate my mood, appetite and sleep cycle.
Dr Allen Rezai M.D. – Cosultant Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgeon – was the doctor who sat with me first to go through what the treatment is, does and what I should expect from it. Both kind and reassuring, I knew I wasn’t going to have any fuss and felt completely relaxed throughout my entire time at the clinic.

In terms of the after effects… I can most definitely vouch for the benefits promised – I slept perfectly after having my therapy, which is surprising as I felt energetic until bedtime. The following day and even now, my energy levels are noticeably higher and I have not felt lethargic at work or on an evening at home. The term Superwoman comes to mind. So much so that my colleagues have noticed an incredible difference in my energy, attitude and my appearance – as a couple of people commented on my fresh face look that I’m sporting nowadays.

Needles to me aren’t so scary and Maria was extremely gentle when inserting and removing my IV drip in my right arm, so much so that I’ve had NO bruising from the treatment… Which of course, is always a positive result.
