FAQs

What actually happens when I arrive?

When you walk in, a member of our nursing team greets you and takes you through a quick health screening — a few questions about how you’re feeling, any relevant medical history, and what you’re hoping to get out of the visit. This takes about five minutes and confirms that IV therapy is a safe fit for you that day. First-time patients (and others, when appropriate) will complete a brief virtual consultation with a licensed provider prior to treatment. From there, your nurse helps you select your booster, places your IV line, and you settle into the lounge. Most people are surprised by how relaxed the whole thing is. You can stream something, scroll your phone, or just close your eyes. The drip runs for about 45 minutes, and then you’re done.

What's included in the First Time Drip?

The First Time Drip ($99) includes one liter of IV fluids, B12, B Complex, glutathione, and one booster of your choice — anti-inflammatory, anti-nausea, or antacid. Your provider or nurse will help you pick the booster based on what you’re dealing with that day. If you’re coming in after a rough night, anti-nausea or anti-inflammatory is usually the call. If you’re just run-down and want a general reset, your provider can guide you from there.

Will getting the IV placed hurt?

Most people feel a brief pinch — similar to having blood drawn — and then nothing. Our nurses have emergency medicine backgrounds, which means placing IVs cleanly and comfortably is something they do every day. The vast majority of first-timers tell us it was easier than they expected. If you have anxiety about needles, just let your nurse know when you arrive. They’re used to it and will take care of you.

How long will I be there from start to finish?

Plan for about an hour total at our Asheville clinic. The health screening and setup take roughly 10 to 15 minutes, the drip itself runs about 45 minutes, and then you’re free to go. You don’t need to arrange a ride. There’s no sedation involved and you can drive yourself home, whether you’re heading back into downtown Asheville or anywhere else in the area.

How should I prepare before my visit?

Eat a light meal beforehand and drink some water on the way over. Arriving hungry or dehydrated can make the experience less comfortable and may cause lightheadedness. Bring your payment method. That’s genuinely all you need — no paperwork to fill out ahead of time, no fasting required.

How will I feel during the drip?

Most people feel nothing unusual — just relaxed. Some notice a slight cooling sensation in the arm as the IV starts, which passes quickly. Toward the end of the session, many clients feel the shift: a bit more alert, lighter, more like themselves. The full effect tends to build over a few hours after you leave.

Is there anything that would make me ineligible?

Some health conditions and medications can make IV therapy unsuitable on a given day. This is exactly why the screening exists — your provider will review your history and let you know honestly whether it’s a good fit. If it isn’t the right day for a drip, they’ll tell you clearly and explain why. Safety comes before the booking.

Is the First Time Drip only available once?

Yes — it’s a first-visit offer for new clients only and is priced at $99. After your first drip, you’ll have a clear sense of how your body responds and which formulas work best for you. From there, your provider can recommend a drip cadence or talk you through membership options if you want to come back regularly at a better per-visit rate.

Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?

You can book online or call our Asheville clinic directly at 828-365-6044. Walk-ins are welcome based on availability, though booking ahead ensures you get your preferred time without a wait. If you’re booking a standard IV drip for the first time at our South Asheville location, the whole process from booking to walking in is straightforward. No lengthy intake forms, no waiting room delays.

Can I bring someone with me?

Absolutely. Friends and partners are always welcome at our Asheville location. Some people prefer company their first time, and we have comfortable lounge seating for guests. If they want a drip too, they can book their own First Time Drip at the same visit.
