IV Therapy
Rehydrate. Replenish. Recover.
Intravenous fluid and nutrient therapy delivers vitamins, minerals and hydration directly into the bloodstream — bypassing the digestive system for immediate, measurable effect. Whether you are recovering from illness, managing fatigue, or optimising performance, IV therapy offers results that oral supplements simply cannot match.
Why IV therapy?
When you take a vitamin orally, your body absorbs a fraction of what you consume — digestive efficiency, gut health, and metabolism all reduce the amount that reaches your cells. IV therapy bypasses this entirely. Nutrients are delivered directly into the bloodstream at 100% bioavailability, meaning your body receives the full dose, immediately.
At Refine Clinic, IV therapy is administered by our medically trained practitioner in a fully private treatment room. Every drip is selected based on a brief health assessment at the start of your appointment. Sessions are relaxed and typically take 45–60 minutes — most clients read, work, or simply rest during the infusion.
We offer a focused range of evidence-informed formulations covering hydration, energy, immunity, recovery, and skin health — each designed to address a specific physiological need rather than offer a vague wellness promise.
Key benefits
Our formulations
Choose your drip
Hydration Drip
Pure rehydration. Fast.
A saline-based infusion that rapidly restores fluid and electrolyte balance. Ideal after illness, intense exercise, travel, or a heavy night. The foundation of all IV therapy — and often the most immediately noticeable.
Energy & Vitality Drip
Combat fatigue at the cellular level.
A B-vitamin complex — including B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 — combined with magnesium and a hydration base. Targets the mitochondrial pathways responsible for energy production. Particularly effective for men experiencing chronic fatigue, brain fog, or the effects of prolonged stress.
Immunity Drip
Strengthen your defences.
High-dose Vitamin C combined with zinc, selenium and a hydration base. Supports immune function, reduces oxidative stress, and accelerates recovery from illness. Recommended before periods of high demand — travel, intense training blocks, or seasonal illness.
Athletic Recovery Drip
Recover faster. Train harder.
Designed for active men, this formulation combines amino acids, B-vitamins, magnesium, and anti-inflammatory compounds to accelerate muscle repair, reduce DOMS, and restore electrolyte balance after intense training or competition.
Skin Brightening Drip
Radiance from within.
High-dose glutathione — the body's master antioxidant — combined with Vitamin C and biotin. Targets oxidative damage, supports collagen synthesis, and improves skin tone and clarity from the inside out. Pairs well with our chemical peel treatments.
NAD+ Drip
Cellular repair. Cognitive clarity.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme central to cellular energy production, DNA repair, and neurological function. Levels decline with age and stress. IV NAD+ is one of the most advanced therapies available for cognitive performance, anti-ageing, and recovery from burnout.
Bespoke Formulation
Built around your specific needs.
A fully customised IV formulation developed in consultation with our practitioner. Suitable for clients with specific health goals, complex presentations, or those who have completed a course of standard drips and want a tailored protocol.
All IV therapy sessions begin with a brief health assessment. IV therapy is not suitable for clients with certain medical conditions including kidney disease, heart failure, or known hypersensitivity to any infusion components. Please disclose all medications and medical history at booking.
Questions
Frequently asked
Is IV therapy safe?
Yes, when administered by a qualified, medically trained practitioner. At Refine Clinic, every IV session is preceded by a health assessment to confirm suitability. We use pharmaceutical-grade compounds and sterile single-use equipment throughout. IV therapy is not suitable for everyone — clients with kidney disease, heart failure, or certain allergies will be advised accordingly at assessment.
What does an IV drip feel like?
Most clients find IV therapy comfortable and relaxing. You will feel a brief, mild sting when the cannula is inserted — similar to a standard blood test. Once the drip is running, the majority of clients feel nothing at all and use the time to rest, read, or work. Some formulations, particularly the NAD+ drip, can cause a mild warming sensation during infusion — this is normal and passes quickly.
How quickly will I notice results?
Many clients notice the effects of hydration and energy drips within a few hours of their session. Immunity and recovery drips typically show their full benefit over 24–48 hours. Skin brightening results from the glutathione drip are cumulative — most clients see a noticeable improvement after 3–4 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart. NAD+ effects on cognitive clarity and energy are often reported within 24 hours.
How often should I have IV therapy?
This depends on your goals and the formulation. A one-off hydration or recovery drip can be booked as needed. For ongoing benefits — energy, immunity, skin health, or NAD+ — a course of 4–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart is recommended, followed by monthly maintenance. Your practitioner will advise at your first appointment.
Why not just take oral supplements?
Oral supplements are absorbed through the digestive system, which limits bioavailability significantly — typically 10–30% of the dose reaches your cells, depending on the nutrient, your gut health, and other factors. IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream at 100% bioavailability. For therapeutic doses — particularly Vitamin C, glutathione, and NAD+ — IV is the only clinically meaningful delivery method.
Can I combine IV therapy with other treatments?
Yes. IV therapy pairs well with many of our other services. The Skin Brightening Drip complements our chemical peel and microneedling treatments. The Athletic Recovery Drip works well alongside sports or deep tissue massage. The Energy Drip is a popular addition for clients undergoing a course of laser hair removal or other aesthetic treatments. Your practitioner can advise on the best combination for your goals.
Are there any contraindications?
IV therapy is not suitable for clients with kidney disease, congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, active infection at the cannula site, or known hypersensitivity to any infusion components. Clients on blood thinners or immunosuppressants should disclose this at assessment. Pregnancy is a contraindication for most formulations. A full health assessment is completed before every session.
