IV THERAPY
At the prestigious medical practice of Dr. Sagar Gujjar in Mumbai, IV therapy is performed to help patients achieve a wide variety of health, wellness, and aesthetic goals. Whether you are looking for a boost in your immune system, an advantage at the gym, or just to maintain your optimal well-being, IV therapy can be uniquely advantageous as it provides in providing nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that our bodily systems require to function optimally.
WHAT IS IV THERAPY?
IV therapy is a method of nourishing the body by delivering nutrients and hydrating fluids intravenously. This treatment is also referred to as IV vitamin hydration therapy, IV infusion therapy, and IV drip therapy.
When we consume vitamins and nutrients orally, only about half of their benefit is absorbed. When the body takes in these compounds directly through the bloodstream, however, the effect is magnified, and relief from cold symptoms, hangovers, or jet lag is virtually instant.

WHAT SKINWOOD OFFERS
REPLENISH THE MIND & BODY
Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sagar Gujjar, a renowned expert in state-of-the-art skin treatments and body contouring procedures, has been a long-time proponent of IV Hydration Therapy and the benefit of antioxidant hydration, vitamins, and minerals on our overall health. At the Liquid Lounge, the spa-like oasis at SKINWOOD, Dr. Gujjar and his staff offer an array of rejuvenating treatments and amenities, including lymphatic massage, facials and face masks, LED light therapy, dermal infusion, micro-ampule infusion, and more than a dozen IV Hydration Therapy treatments.
In addition to a full spa menu of nutrient-rich IV treatments, Dr. Gujjar’s patients can also receive personalized IV cocktails designed to target specific conditions and aesthetic goals. Some of the most sought-after, proprietary IV infusions at our Skinwood IV Lounge include Classic, Primetime, Perform, Detox, and Glow.
WHICH IV INFUSION IS BEST FOR ME?
Each of our hydrating IV cocktails contains a distinct blend of nutrients to target a specific issue, so we will need to gather some information from you in order to determine which option will be most beneficial for you. For your safety and satisfaction, you will be asked about the symptoms you want to treat, whether you have any known allergies or sensitivities, and your current medical conditions and prescribed medications prior to receiving IV drip therapy at our IV Lounge.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR IV THERAPY APPOINTMENT
When you arrive for your IV micronutrient infusion session, you will be taken to the treatment area and seated. Once you are settled in and comfortable, a member of our highly qualified medical staff will need to insert a small needle into one of your veins.
In the vast majority of cases, IV therapy is administered via a vein in the patient’s arm. To ensure that a suitable vein is easily accessible for IV insertion, wear short sleeves or a shirt with sleeves that you can roll above your elbow.
The inserted needle will be connected by a tube to the IV bag containing your micronutrient infusion. Over the next 15-45 minutes, the solution will drip at a steady rate from the IV bag and into your blood stream.
You will be monitored throughout your IV drip therapy session, so we can adjust the drip rate, if needed, to accommodate your needs and ensure your treatment is as comfortable and relaxing as possible.
Our IV Lounge is a great place to rest and recharge. Many of our patients look forward to their IV vitamin hydration therapy sessions as a time to unplug and unwind. However, some patients like to bring a magazine or book to read during IV therapy; others use their smart devices to get on social media, check their email, or play games. You are also welcome to bring headphones, so you can listen to music or watch videos.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER AN IV MICRONUTRIENT INFUSION
While there is no downtime or recovery following an IV therapy session, post-treatment experiences vary in relation to the patient’s reason for treatment and the specific IV cocktail involved. Often, patients will notice improvements within minutes of completing the session.
However, when a patient has considerable toxicity within the body or is healing from surgery or injury, it is not realistic to expect an instant recovery. Multiple IV infusions may be necessary to restore optimal health and achieve a patient’s desired outcome.

HAIR
PREVENT HAIR LOSS
It’s no wonder that women – and men – place great importance on the state of their hair; we often see it as a reflection of our identity, signifying self-confidence and self-care. A bad hair day often means it’s going to be a bad day and when your hair always looks overly oily or dry, too fine and flyaway or dry and frizzy, then it can have a significant impact on your self-esteem.
The hair production cycle is a continual process of renewal and shedding, which is why we have developed our Hair Infusion.
Calcium levels are directly affected by hormonal changes in the body so menopausal women suffering from changes in the condition of their hair are often found to be suffering a deficiency in calcium. Deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals can almost immediately impact on the state of our locks and so we’ve made sure they are an integral part of this infusion. Iron, for example, is required for the production of hair cell protein and B vitamins are essential for healthy hair, as well as nails and skin. The second infusion bag contains B12 and zinc. Both are required for DNA synthesis, the cell reproduction process which occurs during the hair production cycle. Zinc may even help you beat the dreaded dandruff as well.

IV THERAPY GUIDE & FAQ
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IV HYDRATION TREATMENT AND HANGOVER IV THERAPY
The price associated with IV therapy will depend on what kind of nutrients/IV fluids you are receiving and how many times the treatment will be repeated. For instance, you could have IV therapy to boost immunity, cure a hangover, improve cognitive ability, for bio-hacking, and much more. We also have specialty therapies and monthly IV therapy packages.
The duration of your IV therapy will depend on the amount of treatment IV fluids, which is determined by your needs. Our quick and easy 100ml hydration bag only takes 10-15 minutes to administer, while a larger 500ml bag takes anywhere from 35-40 minutes.
At Skinwood, the three main types of IV fluids we use are:
- Saline- This is the normal saline which acts as our base fluid.
- Vitamins, minerals, and amino acids- We use high-quality vitamins such as the B Vitamins and Vitamin C, which are useful in boosting immunity, skin health, and healing wounds.
- Glutathione- Glutathione is rich in antioxidant properties with anti-aging benefits. It also can improve metabolic function and fight stress and inflammation.
Yes, IV therapy has a host of benefits to the body and overall health. It delivers much-needed nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly to the bloodstream, where it is absorbed 100%. This is in contrast with taking these nutrients orally, which only results in 30% absorption. Our IV therapy also delivers customized nutrients that your body needs, which enables you to enjoy optimal health.
Yes, at our IV therapy clinic in Mumbai, Vitamin B12 is one of the primary nutrients we give in IV therapy. Vitamin B12 is crucial in keeping our nerves and blood cells healthy. Having a sufficient amount of this vitamin is vital as it protects us from anemia, which would leave us feeling weak and fatigued with pale skin.
How often you should do IV therapy will depend on your health, situation, and needs. For example, if you need an IV treatment to cure a hangover, then you will have this done once. A patient receiving High dose Vitamin C IV therapy in, for example, will require more sessions. Since all our treatments are customized according to your needs, we will advise you of the right IV therapy treatment schedule for you after we assess your symptoms, review your current and prior medical information, and learn about your treatment goals.
You can take the nutrients used in IV therapy orally, but the results will not be felt immediately. For example, if you try curing a hangover by drinking water or electrolytes, it may take several hours until you feel better. IV therapy, on the other hand, will be absorbed into the body immediately, which means you will feel better quicker. Additionally, when you take nutrients via IV, you are assured of 100% absorption, while oral administration only achieves 30% absorption.
Having a 30 minute IV therapy session and living on IV fluids only are two entirely different things. People who live on IV fluids are likely suffering from severe health conditions such as Crohn’s Disease, obstructed bowels, or shortened intestines. It is essential to consult a specialist for advice on long term IV fluid use.
IV drips should not hurt. All you should feel is a small pinch as the needle pierces the skin. If it hurts, then it may have been wrongly inserted. At Skinwood, all our staff members are are highly trained to place IV needles and safely administer IV therapy, so our patients do not experience pain during this treatment.
Yes, it does. At Skinwood, we have hangover IV fluid therapy specifically designed to cure hangovers. This therapy quickly detoxifies you while delivering much-needed nutrients to your body.
IV drips are used to deliver nutrients to the body intravenously, that is, through the veins. This is a far quicker method as opposed to say oral administration, as it takes the nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This is an efficient way to do this as it ensures 100% absorption, which leads to quick action.
When an IV drips too fast, it can lead to what is known as a Vaso-vagal reaction. This can result in fainting, increased perspiration, and low blood pressure. At Skinwood, all our IV therapies are administered by highly qualified and professional staff, who will ensure that your IV therapy drip is properly administered.
IV medication goes to work immediately as it is delivered directly into the bloodstream. Some IV therapies at Skinwood clinic take as little as 15 minutes to administer, within which you will feel energized and ready to bounce back to your daily routine
Death is highly unlikely, but improper administration of a drip can result in an infection in the area, vein irritation, and inflammation. Receiving too much of certain fluids can also cause serious health issues if proper consultation is not done beforehand. For instance, a patient with congestive heart failure can be endangered by fluid overload.
The majority of our clients have had IV therapy successfully without any adverse side effects. As a precaution, however, it is useful to note that IV therapy may have possible side effects, including nausea, heavy perspiration, lethargy, and allergic reactions.
