Vitamin C IV infusions, or IV drips as known in some places, have gained popularity for their potential health benefits. But what is it for really?  

Here are some of the key advantages to having such infusions: 

  1. Immune System Booster: High doses of Vitamin C can enhance the production and function of white blood cells, which help fight off the ever present bugs that are going around. 
  1. Improving Skin Health: Vitamin C is essential for processes such as collagen production, which helps maintain skin elasticity and reduce signs of aging. We do it for “The Glow.” 
  1. Enhancing Iron Absorption: Vitamin C aids in better absorption of iron from your diet, which can help prevent iron deficiency.  
  1. Antioxidant Properties: Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, mopping up free radicals that can cause cellular damage 
  1. Supporting Wound Healing: Are you preparing for a refresh procedure with your plastic surgeon soon? Or healing from an injury you sustained and had to have surgery for? Vitamin C is one of the superpowers in tissue repair and wound healing. 
  1. Potential Cancer Support: Some studies suggest that high-dose Vitamin C may help improve the effectiveness of cancer treatments, although this is still a topic of ongoing research. Some of our clients work with a Functional Medicine specialist or Naturopath to explore which IV Vitamin C infusion options would best complement their on-going cancer treatment.  

While mobile IV infusion clinics are increasing in popularity, our team, as always, keeps to best practise recommendations. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment to ensure it’s appropriate for your specific health needs. Our team at The Face Place requests certain laboratory test to be done prior your consultation, to maximise your time when you do come in for a consult, and are suitable to start your ideal treatment regimen. 

Safety is paramount, so we always have at least 2 nurses on site, as well as other team members who are trained in managing adverse reactions, should anything go awry during your treatment. We have designed a treatment experience wherein you relax on a bed while your IV infuses,  whilst enjoying a rejuvenating light treatment for your face, complimented with a neck and shoulder massage.  

Have you ever tried Vitamin C IV infusions, or are you considering it for a particular reason? Phone us for a quick chat, and we’ll set you up for your consultation. See you in clinic soon!

IV Vitamin C Infusions are registered medicines.
Ascor L 500 is indicated for ascorbic acid deficiency. Parenteral ascorbic acid supplementation may be necessary in the treatment of scurvy for patients with gastric disorders, for patients with extensive injuries, for surgical patients and others only if their needs cannot be met from normal dietary sources or in patients who cannot take oral vitamins. Acute ascorbic acid deficiency may be associated with extensive injuries and other states of extreme stress. Vitamin C requirements are also significantly increased in certain diseases and conditions such as tuberculosis, hyperthyroidism, peptic ulcer, neoplastic disease and lactation.
