IV Vitamin Infusion | Intravenous Nutrient Supplementation

At The Skin Doctors Clinic, intravenous (IV) vitamin infusions are offered as a method of administering specific vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream.

This approach allows for precise control of nutrient dosage and ensures systemic distribution without relying on gastrointestinal absorption.

About IV Nutrient Therapy

IV vitamin infusions involve the sterile delivery of medical-grade nutrient solutions through a vein, performed under clinical supervision.

This method is sometimes selected when higher plasma concentrations of certain nutrients are desired than can be achieved through oral supplementation.

Each formulation is prepared using pharmacy-compounded, TGA-approved ingredients and is customised based on individual assessment and clinical suitability.

These infusions are provided as adjunctive nutritional support and are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions.

Clinical Assessment

Before commencing any IV infusion, an initial consultation with Dr Jimmy Wang (Cosmetic Physician – MED0001663746) is required.

During this consultation, your medical history, medications, and previous blood test results (if available) are reviewed to determine:

• Suitability for IV nutrient therapy
• Appropriate compound selection and dosage
• Potential contraindications or interactions

All procedures are performed using aseptic technique in a controlled clinical setting.

Available Infusion Options

Procedure Overview

• Duration: 30 – 60 minutes, depending on formula and flow rate
• Process: A sterile IV cannula is placed; the infusion is delivered at a controlled rate under practitioner supervision
• Aftercare: Adequate hydration before and after treatment is recommended. Temporary local tenderness or mild bruising at the cannula site may occur.

Safety and Considerations

IV vitamin infusions are performed using aseptic technique by qualified medical staff.
Potential short-term effects may include:

• Discomfort or bruising at the insertion site
• Light-headedness during or shortly after infusion
• Rare allergic reaction or vein irritation

Treatment may be deferred or declined in cases of:

• Known hypersensitivity to any ingredient
• Renal impairment or certain metabolic disorders
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding (unless cleared by a doctor)

All formulations are individually prescribed following consultation to ensure clinical appropriateness.
