If the very mention of IV drips conjures up a picture of being seriously ill and hospitalised, you're not alone. However, it's 2023. And, as the ambit of wellness therapy widens, experts suggest it's easier to tackle the tell-tale signs of ageing, dehydration, low libido and fatigue with larger efficacy via IV shots. "IV drips contain infusions made of electrolytes and saline, which deliver quicker results when they go straight into your bloodstream," begins Dr. Geetika Mittal Gupta, aesthetic physician and founder of ISAAC Luxe (International Skin and Anti-Aging Centre).
While a significant percentage of men have embraced this therapy in recent years as a means to boost energy levels, fasten recovery, and improve overall vitality; Dr. Chytra Anand, founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of Kosmoderma stresses on a caveat: "If performed by non-medical personnel in a non-sterile environment, the intravenous process can have serious consequences. A detailed background search on the ingredients included in the IV drips, sterilisation protocols followed, and potential risks or side effects specific to your health condition is a must before going ahead with a consultation."
