Slathering on skincare products is no longer enough to ensure an effortless glow. Serious beauty junkies have gone as far as getting IV drips to get their best chance at achieving their most beautiful selves. We round-up some of the best IV drips in town, and find out what it really takes to get that shot!
Beauty trends are changing so quickly, and one trend that’s gaining popularity is IV Drip Therapy—a craze that celebrities and Hollywood A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Chrissy Teigen, and Gwyneth Paltrow swear by. What used to be a treatment solely for medical conditions is now a beauty solution. This wellness procedure involves injecting vitamins, amino acids, and supplements directly into your bloodstream, which according to Dr. Jean Marquez of DARE clinic, is 100 percent absorbed unlike taking oral vitamins. Need a quick fix for fatigue? There’s a drip for that. For hangovers? There’s one as well. For aging skin? Definitely!
Here, we list down the clinics to visit and respective treatments to try when you think your body needs a detox or simply a beauty pick-me-up!
DARE BY DR. JEAN MARQUEZ
The concern: Poor immune system, asthma
What to try: Immune Boost
What it does: This drip can double as your daily vitamin tablet, but on steroids. DARE’s Immune Boost helps you recover from sickness as quickly as possible and keep colds and flu away. Those with asthma can also try this drip as it contains anti-inflammatory nutrients.
Why we love it: While it promises to improve your immune function, this drip also has brightening effects on your skin (now that’s a bonus!) Prior to the treatment, you will be handed a long medical form, which according to Dr. Jean Marquez, is used to screen their patients carefully, to know what their wants and needs are. “We make sure that the real essence of IV nutrient therapy is to replenish the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and also electrolytes that are lost during stressful situations, chronic infections, chronic diseases, etc.”
How much it costs: P8,000/session
