Areas Treated with IV Therapy

At Livia Med Spa in Tampa, FL, your comfort and safety are our absolute priorities. For your IV Therapy session, we apply a high-strength, medical-grade topical numbing cream to the target area prior to beginning the procedure. During the treatment, most patients report feeling a quick, minor pinch as the IV is gently placed. Once started, you will relax in a comfortable lounge chair and feel a cool sensation during the drip. Overall, our clients find the procedure highly tolerable, and Angela Spicola, APRN will continuously monitor your comfort level, adjusting device settings to ensure a relaxed and pleasant experience from start to finish.

To achieve the absolute best outcome and long-lasting improvements, we typically recommend an initial series of every 2 to 4 weeks for general wellness, or as needed for recovery. This allows the biological stimulation and dermal repair mechanisms to compound over time, leading to more structural and visible improvements. During your initial aesthetic consultation at our Tampa med spa, we will analyze your skin type and design a customized session protocol tailored specifically to your unique skin health goals.

The recovery process for IV Therapy is completely zero. You can resume your daily routine, exercise, and work immediately after the session, feeling energized and refreshed. Immediately following your treatment, it is common to experience mild localized redness, slight swelling, or a warm sensation similar to a light sunburn. These side effects are a natural indicator that the skin's regenerative healing cascade has been successfully triggered and typically resolve within 24 to 48 hours. Most clients easily return to work and resume their daily schedules the very next day with no disruption.

IV therapy is safe and beneficial for almost everyone, including athletes recovering from workouts, individuals seeking an immunity boost, travelers recovering from jet lag, or anyone dehydrated or fatigued. Under the supervision of a licensed practitioner like Angela Spicola, APRN, we customize settings for all Fitzpatrick skin categories to maintain safety and deliver optimal anti-aging care.

Many clients enjoy seeing an immediate boost in physical energy, mental clarity, relief from dehydration or hangovers, and enhanced immune defense. The dermal remodeling and synthesis of new structural proteins continue progressively over the course of 3 to 6 months post-treatment, showing continuous skin lifting and smoothing. To protect your investment and maintain a youthful, glowing complexion, we recommend a single maintenance touch-up session every 6 to 12 months.

IV hydration is a perfect add-on during a Glo2Facial, Botox injection, or weight loss consultation to optimize wellness and cell hydration from the inside out. Combining treatments allows us to target multiple layers of aging (volume loss, dynamic wrinkles, and skin texture) simultaneously, giving you a comprehensive, refreshed, and beautifully natural outcome.
