Doctor-led assessment and personalised treatment planning
IV infusions may be recommended in selected situations following a medical consultation. At Skinnotion, all IV treatments are prescribed by a doctor after assessing your medical history, current health, and treatment suitability.
Formulations and treatment plans are individualised, and not all patients will be suitable for IV therapy.
What are Intravenous (IV) Infusions?
IV infusions are treatments where fluids, vitamins, or other medications are administered directly into the bloodstream through a vein. This method allows substances to be delivered in controlled amounts under medical supervision.
At Skinnotion, IV infusions are only provided following a consultation with a doctor, who assesses whether treatment is appropriate and which formulation may be suitable.
Why a Consultation Matters
IV infusions involve prescription medicines and medical assessment is essential to ensure treatment is appropriate.
All medical and cosmetic treatments carry potential risks and results vary between individuals.
During your consultation, the doctor may assess:
- Medical history and medications
- Current symptoms or concerns
- Hydration and general health status
- Treatment suitability and contraindications
If appropriate, a personalised infusion may be prescribed based on clinical assessment.
Situations where IV therapy may be considered
Depending on clinical assessment, IV infusions may be considered in situations such as:
- Dehydration or recovery support
- Periods of fatigue or increased physical demand
- Nutritional supplementation where appropriate
- General wellbeing support in selected patients
The most appropriate formulation and dosing are determined by the prescribing doctor.
A personalised approach
There is no single infusion suitable for everyone. Treatment recommendations vary depending on individual needs, health history, and treatment goals.
In some cases, oral supplementation or other treatments may be more appropriate, and this will be discussed during your consultation.
What to Expect
If treatment is prescribed, infusions are administered by trained clinical staff in a monitored setting.
Treatment duration and frequency vary depending on the formulation and clinical recommendation.
Your doctor will advise whether repeat treatments may be appropriate.
