Our customized IV Hydration Therapy delivers a potent blend of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream for maximum absorption, instantly boosting your immunity, cellular energy, and athletic recovery.
IV hydration therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, and electrolytes directly into your bloodstream, helping your body rehydrate more efficiently than drinking water alone. Many people use this treatment to support energy, focus, immune health, and recovery from travel, intense workouts, or busy seasons of life.
Your St. Johns 4wellness specialist will help you choose a customized blend that aligns with your wellness goals so you can feel more balanced, clear, and ready for your day.
IV hydration therapy is a non-surgical treatment delivering fluids, vitamins, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream through a small catheter. Each infusion is customized to support your unique needs—be it boosting energy, enhancing immune health, aiding recovery, or promoting overall wellness.
IV hydration sessions typically last 30–60 minutes. This time includes a quick check-in with your 4wellness specialist, setting up the IV, and relaxing in the lounge as your drip is administered.
Most healthy adults experience little to no downtime after IV therapy and can resume work, errands, or social plans immediately. Some might choose to relax for the rest of the day, enjoying the refreshed feeling.
Patients often experience increased energy or mental clarity within hours, with full effects in 24 hours. Depending on your goals and the specific drip, benefits can last several days to about a week.
IV hydration therapy bypasses your digestive system and delivers fluids and nutrients straight into your bloodstream. This direct access allows your cells to absorb a higher percentage of vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes than oral supplements alone. By restoring fluid balance and supporting key metabolic processes, IV therapy can help reduce feelings of fatigue, ease mild dehydration, and support immune and nervous system function.
“Many of my patients are surprised by how quickly they feel more clear-headed and refreshed after IV hydration. For some, it becomes a helpful tool before travel, big events, or busy work seasons. My priority is always safety first, so we review your health history, tailor your drip, and monitor you closely throughout the visit so you can relax and feel confident in your care.”
Our IV hydration menu is designed to support different wellness priorities, from immune defense to skin health and recovery. Each option includes a carefully selected blend of fluids, vitamins, and minerals, and your 4wellness specialist will help you choose the drip that best matches your needs.
Pricing varies based on the formula and any add-ons you select, and we will review all costs with you before treatment.

IV hydration therapy may be appropriate for generally healthy adults who want support for mild dehydration, energy, immune health, or recovery. During your visit, your 4wellness specialist will review your medical history, medications, and goals to help decide if this treatment is right for you.
Your provider will always recommend against IV therapy if it does not appear safe or medically appropriate for your situation.
While IV hydration therapy is not a cure for medical conditions, it can support your body when you are dealing with certain lifestyle-related concerns. Depending on the formula, IV therapy may help you feel more comfortable when you are experiencing:
Your IV hydration appointment begins with a brief conversation about your health history, current symptoms, and goals. Your 4wellness specialist will recommend a drip formula and review what is included.
After cleansing the skin, a small IV catheter is placed, and your drip is started while you relax in a comfortable chair. Most patients read, listen to music, or simply unwind during the session. Once the infusion is complete, the IV is removed, a small bandage is applied, and you can typically resume your day.
At 4wellness, IV hydration therapy is provided by experienced medical professionals who prioritize your safety and comfort. Every drip is customized based on your health history and goals, and we follow strict protocols for screening, dosing, and monitoring.
Our St. Johns location is designed to feel calm and welcoming, so you can relax while receiving medical-grade care that supports your overall wellness.
IV hydration therapy is generally safe for many healthy adults when performed by trained medical professionals using proper protocols. At 4wellness, your specialist will review your medical history, discuss any medications or health conditions, and determine whether IV therapy is appropriate for you. As with any treatment that involves a needle, there are potential risks such as bruising, discomfort at the IV site, or, rarely, infection or vein irritation, which your provider will review before treatment.
The ideal frequency depends on your health, goals, and the specific drip you choose. Some patients schedule IV hydration as needed before or after travel or events, while others prefer a more regular schedule, such as every few weeks, for ongoing wellness support. Your 4wellness specialist will help you create a plan that is safe and realistic for your lifestyle.
No. IV hydration therapy is not a substitute for daily water intake. It can help correct mild dehydration and support wellness in specific situations, but you will still need to drink adequate fluids each day. Your provider can offer guidance on healthy hydration habits to complement your treatment.
Most patients feel only a quick pinch when the IV is placed, followed by mild pressure or awareness at the site. Once the catheter is in place, many people are comfortable and able to relax during the infusion. If you feel any significant discomfort, burning, or swelling, your 4wellness specialist will adjust or stop the treatment as needed.
The cost of IV hydration therapy varies based on the specific drip formula, any add-on boosters, and how often you receive treatments. At your visit, we will review pricing for each option and provide a clear estimate before you decide to move forward. Memberships or packages may be available for patients who plan regular visits.
Some patients choose IV hydration to support recovery after a night of drinking or when they feel run down, but it is not a cure for hangovers or illness. IV therapy may help ease symptoms related to mild dehydration and support your body while it recovers. If you have severe symptoms, a high fever, chest pain, or other concerning issues, you should seek urgent medical care instead of or in addition to IV therapy.
