What Is Vitamin Infusion Therapy?
Intravenous (IV) Vitamin Therapy delivers a prescribed solution directly into the bloodstream through the use of a drip. Intramuscular (IM) Vitamin Therapy delivers the solution to the muscle using a needle and syringe. By utilising IV or IM vitamin therapy delivery, the nutrients bypass the digestive system for rapid absorption.
At Inigo Cosmetic we are able provide consultations for a range of IV and IM Vitamin Infusion Therapies depending on your goals, health status and medical history.
