What should I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit begins with a comprehensive consultation where your provider will assess your skin, discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and develop a personalized treatment plan. Most consultations last 30-45 minutes, and many treatments can be performed the same day.

Is there a consultation fee?

We offer complimentary consultations for most services. During your consultation, your provider will outline recommended treatments, expected results, and transparent pricing so you can make an informed decision with no pressure.

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

Our licensed providers are trained to evaluate your unique anatomy, skin type, and goals to recommend the most effective treatments. We believe in an honest, education-first approach and will only recommend procedures that will deliver meaningful results for you.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We partner with leading healthcare financing providers to offer flexible payment plans with low or no-interest options. We also accept all major credit cards, HSA/FSA cards, and offer package pricing for multi-session treatments.

Are the treatments safe?

All of our treatments are FDA-approved or FDA-cleared and performed by licensed, trained medical professionals. We use only authentic, brand-name products sourced directly from manufacturers. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.

How do I prepare for my appointment?

Preparation varies by treatment. Generally, we recommend avoiding blood thinners, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for 24-48 hours before your appointment. Your provider will give you specific pre-treatment instructions during your consultation.

What is your cancellation policy?

IV Hydration Therapy: More Than Just a Hangover Cure

When most people hear "IV hydration therapy," they think of hangover cures — and while IV therapy is indeed excellent for post-celebration recovery, that is only a small fraction of what this treatment can do. IV hydration therapy has become one of the fastest-growing wellness treatments for athletes, busy professionals, frequent travelers, and anyone who wants to optimize their health from the inside out. At Lodi MedSpa, our customized IV drip formulations address everything from immune support to beauty enhancement to athletic performance.

Why IV Hydration Works Better Than Oral Supplements

The key advantage of IV therapy is bioavailability — the percentage of a nutrient that actually reaches your bloodstream and cells. When you take oral vitamins and supplements, they pass through your digestive system where absorption can be as low as 10-30% depending on the nutrient, your gut health, and what else you have eaten. Factors like stomach acid, intestinal permeability, and enzyme activity all reduce how much of that vitamin C or B12 tablet actually enters your bloodstream.

IV therapy bypasses the digestive system entirely, delivering nutrients directly into your bloodstream for 100% bioavailability. This means higher cellular concentrations of vitamins and minerals, faster onset of effects (many patients feel improvement within hours), and more consistent dosing without the variability of oral absorption. It is not a replacement for a healthy diet and quality supplements, but rather a powerful complement that can address deficiencies and optimize levels more effectively.

Our IV Drip Menu

At Lodi MedSpa, we offer several signature IV formulations, each designed for specific wellness goals. Our Immune Boost drip features high-dose vitamin C, zinc, B vitamins, and glutathione to strengthen your immune system — perfect during cold and flu season or before travel. The Beauty Glow drip includes biotin, glutathione, vitamin C, and a B-complex for radiant skin, stronger hair, and healthier nails. Our Athletic Recovery formulation contains amino acids, electrolytes, magnesium, and B12 to speed recovery after intense workouts, competitions, or endurance events. The Energy Boost drip combines B-complex vitamins, magnesium, taurine, and amino acids for sustained energy without the crash of caffeine. And our Hangover Relief drip delivers electrolytes, anti-nausea medication, B vitamins, and hydration to get you back on your feet fast.

NAD+ Infusions: The Anti-Aging Frontier

One of our most advanced IV offerings is NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) infusion therapy. NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body that plays a critical role in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular aging. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, and this decline is linked to many age-related health issues. NAD+ IV therapy replenishes cellular levels, and patients commonly report improved mental clarity, increased energy, better sleep, enhanced mood, and a general sense of vitality. NAD+ infusions typically take 2-4 hours and are administered as a slow drip for comfort.

Who Benefits from IV Hydration?

While almost anyone can benefit from IV hydration therapy, certain groups tend to see the most significant improvements. Athletes and active individuals use IV therapy for faster recovery, better hydration, and performance optimization. Busy professionals rely on energy and immunity drips to stay sharp during demanding schedules. Frequent travelers use immune and hydration drips to combat jet lag and airplane-related dehydration. Patients preparing for or recovering from aesthetic procedures use IV nutrients to optimize healing. And individuals with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or gut health issues that impair oral absorption find IV therapy particularly beneficial.

What to Expect During Your Session

An IV hydration session at Lodi MedSpa is a relaxing experience. You will settle into a comfortable treatment chair, and a licensed professional will place a small IV catheter, typically in your hand or forearm. The drip runs for 30-60 minutes (longer for NAD+), during which you can read, scroll your phone, meditate, or simply relax. Most patients feel the effects within hours — improved energy, clearer thinking, and better hydration. Sessions range from $150-$350 depending on the formulation, with package pricing available for regular clients.

IV hydration therapy is a safe, effective way to support your body's performance, recovery, and longevity. Whether you are a weekend warrior, a busy parent, or someone focused on aging gracefully, there is an IV formulation that can help you feel your best.
