Get Your Skin Ready For Spring with IV Vitamin Therapy

Winter is on its way out and spring is just around the corner. As outdoor temperatures rise, sun exposure increases, and the air humidity changes, your skin is forced to adapt. To keep your skin looking its best, it’s an absolute must to keep your skincare up-to-date with the changing seasons. IV vitamin therapy provides a micronutrient-rich solution that gives your skin the building blocks it needs from the inside out—unlike lotions and creams that just provide a topical treatment.  

We pack our Ageless Beauty IV vitamin therapy with powerful antioxidants and micronutrients that are specially formulated to help your skin look and feel its best, and just in time for spring. 

Ageless Beauty IV Vitamin Therapy

Your skin is one of your largest organs and a reflection of your overall health. If you’re worried your skin is lacking luster, our Ageless Beauty IV therapy can help by nourishing your body with our proprietary blend of vitamin B12, vitamin C, proline, lysine, biotin, riboflavin, and glutathione. 

Vitamin B12 

A lack of vitamin B12 can result in jaundiced skin and leave your skin with a pale, yellowish appearance. If you don’t get enough B12, it also can interfere with red blood cell production and contribute to anemia

It’s important to note that vitamin B12 doesn’t come from plants and your body can’t produce it on its own. This means diet and vitamin supplementation are crucial to ensuring your body is getting ample B12, especially for vegetarians.

Vitamin C

There’s a reason healthy skin has high concentrations of vitamin C. Your body relies on this water-soluble vitamin to counteract photodamage from UV rays, synthesize collagen, and fight free radicals. 

Proline 

Proline is an essential amino acid known for restoring skin collagen protein synthesis for skin that’s been negatively impacted by sun exposure.

Lysine

Lysine is another essential amino acid that plays a role in collagen formation. Note that collagen provides structure and elasticity to the skin, helping it to maintain its healthy, youthful appearance.

Riboflavin

Riboflavin is also known as vitamin B2 and your body needs it to break down fats, protein, and carbohydrates for energy. It’s known for boosting energy levels and functioning as an antioxidant for healthy skin and hair

Biotin 

Biotin helps the body metabolize fatty acids, glucose, and amino acids. A lack of biotin can result in scaly, red skin and rashes, skin infections, dry brittle nails, and thinning hair. 

Glutathione

Nearly every cell in the body relies on glutathione. Not only does it serve as an antioxidant that helps the body detox from drugs, pollutants, and food additives, but it’s a powerful antioxidant that can decrease wrinkles and increase skin elasticity

The IV Vitamin Therapy Advantage

IV bars and clinics have gained popularity for good reason. They offer important advantages to vitamins taken by mouth: 

Better Absorption

The bioavailability of vitamins taken by mouth is largely determined by your digestive system.

However, IV vitamin therapy doesn’t rely on the digestive system to break down micronutrients. By supplying a concentrated solution of vitamins directly to the bloodstream, this ensures the micronutrients are delivered directly to your cells.

Better Quality

In addition to bioavailability considerations, most vitamins in a grocery store or online are unregulated by the FDA and their quality remains questionable. At ReIVeDoc, our IV vitamins used in our IV vitamin therapy are medical-grade quality and sourced only from FDA-approved pharmaceutical labs.

Why Leave Your Skincare Up to Chance?

Instead of just relying on lotions and creams, it’s important to look at what you’re doing to provide your skin with the building blocks it needs to be healthy. 

Your skin serves as the protective barrier between you and the environment, and it can be compromised by sun damage, harsh weather, and nutritional deficiencies. Avoid dull, dry and tired skin by making sure your body has the right nutrients for healthy, vibrant skin. 

Our proprietary blend of Ageless Beauty IV vitamins is designed to help you get your glow back and counteract signs of aging, damaged skin.
