Your Guide to Feeling Better with IV Drip Therapy in Houston

When you think of IV therapy, you might deduce it to a couple things: hospital patients and hangover cures. While you’re not wrong, what if we told you that IV therapy not only helps those individuals, but a whole other subset of people, too? 

How often do you feel tired and lethargic for no particular reason? What do you tell yourself when you’re just “having one of those days” and you can’t seem to improve your mood? When your body doesn’t feel like it’s working as well as it used to, do you blame it on getting older? 

At Ovation Med Spa, we prioritize physical and mental health and wellness; our only wish is that you prioritize it too. Oftentimes when we aren’t feeling our best, it’s not because of the weather, or the weekend we spent drinking on the town with our friends (although, that could be part of it).  

A lot of the time we place blame on these surface-level experiences because finding the root cause of our problems takes work. But, going back to our basic needs is not a bad place to start. The foundation of our needs? Food, nutrients, and hydration.

IV drip therapy in Houston is a great way to get the nutrients and hydration you need to feel like your youthful self again. That carefree energy you had as a child and adolescent doesn’t have to be history.

How do I know if I need IV drip therapy? 

There are quite a few symptoms that are linked to lack of nutrients, therefore warranting IV drip therapy. 

Any of these symptoms may make you a candidate:

  • Lack of energy
  • Fatigue
  • Signs of aging 
  • Depression
  • Dehydration
  • Addiction 
  • Lowered muscle function
  • Chronic pain
  • Lowered cognitive function (Brain fog)
  • Decreased neurological function 
  • Decreased immune system function 

What IV drip therapy in Houston looks like

IV drip therapy is a great option for you if you’re experiencing any of those symptoms and need relief. It’s a simple treatment with zero downtime, so you can feel good knowing you’ll be back on your feet right after the treatment. 

If you choose Ovation Med Spa for IV drip therapy in Houston, you will walk into a room full of comfortable recliners where you can relax with a book, your favorite TV show, or your perfectly curated playlist all while being revitalized. 

The simple IV infusion will deliver nutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, and electrolytes for 30-90 minutes, with 1 hour being the average duration of an infusion. 

When will I feel the effects? 

You may feel the quick pick-me-up effect, or you may feel the positive effects accumulating over the course of the day or week. This could be a boost in mood and an increase in energy. It varies for each individual. 

One thing you can know for sure is you have all the vitamins and nutrients you need, so you can feel confident about your health!

Common uses for IV drip therapy in Houston 

Besides the commonly known benefits of IV drip therapy in Houston–including the pick-me-up effect, sickness prevention, and rehydration–there are many more benefits! 

Recovery from the common illness 

IV drip therapy not only helps prevent common illness, it helps you recover and relieve symptoms in the meantime. 

With essential nutrients such as vitamin C, zinc, and magnesium replenishing what the illness destroyed, you’ll be on the mend in no time!

Alleviate PMS symptoms 

Women start experiencing premenstrual syndrome (PMS) 1-2 weeks before their period. A drop in estrogen and progesterone causes a number of unfavorable symptoms, such as bloating, fatigue, mood swings, and headaches. 

IV drip therapy in Houston alleviates PMS-related symptoms for many women. Micronutrients like magnesium, vitamin B1 and B6, and minerals like calcium in particular help regulate blood sugar, restore hormonal balance, and boost serotonin levels. 

Many women find it helpful to come in a week or two before their period to set themselves up for a smooth-sailing cycle. 

Enhance athletic performance 

Athletes put a lot of stress on their bodies, and intensive workouts and sports result in water and nutrient loss. IV therapy replenishes the vitamins and minerals lost during intense physical activity! 

The replenished nutrients will reduce inflammation, aid in muscle recovery, and rehydrate the body, allowing you to recover better, and get back in the game quicker.   

Slow aging 

As we age, our nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) levels drop. NAD is a coenzyme that supplies energy to our cells and promotes regeneration of cells. 

One of its most important functions is reducing free radicals, which are molecules that can damage cells, leading to sickness and aging

Scientists have found that signs of aging in your cells can be reduced and even reversed in some cases. IV drip therapy in Houston helps improve numerous aging-related issues. 

However, NAD IV therapy isn’t entirely risk-free, unlike other IV treatments. At Ovation, we can help you find out if you’re a candidate for NAD IV therapy by learning about your concerns and assessing the risks during an in-depth, complementary consultation.

Reduce inflammation and chronic pain 

Calcium, magnesium, and B and C vitamins all help your organs and bodily systems function properly. Your immune system is responsible for healing all areas of your body that need healing. 

If you’re experiencing chronic pain, IV drip therapy can help get your immune system working to target the areas of inflammation and heal them.

In other cases, your muscles may need repair. These same nutrients can help your muscles regenerate, reducing the pain and inflammation all the same. 

Whatever your case may be, our providers will work with you to figure out what treatment plan your body needs.

IV drip therapy & hormone therapy: The perfect duo   

The road to physical and mental health and wellness doesn’t have to end with IV drip therapy. Hormone therapy is another common treatment that is often paired with IV drip therapy in Houston. 

What is hormone therapy? 

Hormones are our chemical messengers heavily responsible for the way we feel and think. They affect our metabolism, development, mood, sexual function, and reproduction. Hormone therapy brings hormone levels back to optimal levels for both men and women.

At Ovation, we use the bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) method. We will make a small incision in the fat of the buttocks or hips and from there, implant pellets of estrogen and testosterone. This will provide you with a steady stream of hormones in your bloodstream over the course of 4-6 months

The hormone pellets are completely plant-based and safe for the human body, with materials derived from wild yams, soy, and cactus. They are called “bioidentical hormones” because they are similar to the hormones produced by your body. 

However, if you suffer from blood clots, certain types of cancer, heart disease, heart attacks, liver disease, strokes, or you suspect you’re pregnant, we do not recommend hormone therapy. If you have any questions or need clarification about this, let us know! 

How do I know if I need hormone therapy?

There are numerous symptoms that are associated with hormone deficiencies for both men and women. 

Women: 

  • Problems with sleep
  • Lack of energy and focus
  • Thinning hair
  • Mood swings
  • Urinary problems
  • Shrinking of breast tissue 
  • Loss of libido 
  • Accumulation of belly fat
  • Low fertility (When still perimenopausal) 
  • Irregular periods (When still perimenopausal) 

Men:

  • Problems with sleep
  • Lack of energy and focus
  • General restlessness
  • Afternoon fatigue 
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Decrease in endurance
  • Decrease in muscle mass
  • Anxiety

If you’re experiencing more than one of these symptoms, consider scheduling a consultation to speak with one of our expert providers. They will talk you through your concerns and your options. 

Low testosterone 

In addition to BHRT, we have a hormone treatment that specifically targets low testosterone levels. Our low testosterone treatment can treat both men and women. Similar to BHRT, this treatment also consists of a slow-release pellet inserted into the hip area. 

How do I know if I have low testosterone?

Low testosterone looks different in men versus women. 

Men may experience: 

  • Decrease in stamina
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Sexual dysfunction 
  • Mental fogginess
  • Trouble recovering from physical activity 

Many people view testosterone as a male hormone, however, a woman’s adrenal glands and ovaries produce it! There are many benefits of hormone therapy for women. 

If a woman’s testosterone levels are low, she may experience: 

  • Exacerbated symptoms of menopause
  • Hot flashes
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Urinary incontinence and urgency 
  • Mental fogginess 
  • Mood swings
  • Depression
  • Anxiety 
  • Decrease in muscle mass

If any of this is sounding familiar, you may be experiencing a decrease in testosterone. It’s a normal byproduct of aging, but you don’t have to let it bring you down!

In order to figure out what kind of treatment you need, you’ll need to meet with one of our providers. They will be able to customize a treatment plan specific to your problem areas. This could include both IV therapy and hormone therapy.  

The road to feeling better with IV drip therapy and hormone therapy

Feeling apathetic and sluggish is no fun. You should be looking forward to that happy hour with your friends after work, not dreading it! 

What’s more frustrating than feeling all of these symptoms and not being able to track down the cause? Maybe it’s that you’re not getting enough nutrients, maybe it’s that your hormone levels have dropped, or maybe it’s both. 

One thing we can promise at Ovation Med Spa is that we will help you figure it out. Your solution may be a combination treatment plan, or it could even be a referral to someone else who can help. 

We care about our clients’ mental and physical health. That’s why our providers are highly-trained in multiple different treatment areas.
