IV drip therapy delivers fluids, vitamins or antioxidants directly into a vein. It's popular for hydration after illness, travel or heat, and many people ask about antioxidant infusions such as vitamin C or glutathione. The evidence for some 'wellness' claims is limited, and IV treatment carries risks, so at Ageless Skin Clinic, Colombo 08, every infusion starts with a medical assessment.

Getting the best result from IV Detox & Antioxidant Infusions
For most people, a healthy diet, good hydration, sleep and exercise give far more benefit than any drip. IV therapy can be useful in specific situations, and when it's used, safety comes first: sterile technique, the right dose and a medical professional present throughout. Tell us about any medicines you take, allergies and health conditions, and expect the doctor to say no if an infusion isn't right for you. We'll also explain what each ingredient is intended to do in plain language. Before your visit, eat a light meal, drink water and bring a list of your medicines, supplements and any recent blood test results. This helps the doctor decide quickly and safely whether an infusion suits you.
