Over the past year, C-Care Grand Baie has added a brand new treatment to its wellness menu: intravenous therapy. The principle? A blend of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants administered directly by infusion for fast, effective results! Whether as a detox or anti-aging treatment, IV Detox Drips have already won over many patients… Here’s an update from Kushmita Doysuree, pharmacist at C-Care Grand Baie. Eugénie Sauzier-de Rosnay
Vitamin C, collagen, glutathione… C-Care’s IV Detox Drips are true cocktails of well-being, injected directly into the bloodstream! “Unlike dietary supplements, intravenous therapy ensures maximum absorption of nutrients, without passing through the digestive system, which tends to reduce assimilation. So there’s no degradation by gastric acidity, no losses due to poor intestinal absorption, and no hepatic first-pass effect”, explains Kushmita.
While this therapeutic procedure is becoming increasingly popular, you should nevertheless consult a specialist – a⸱edermatologist or general practitioner depending on the care required – before taking the plunge. Because, indeed, infusions are totally customizable, depending on needs. “Some require a liver detox or immune system boost, while others are looking to improve their skin’s elasticity and restore its ‘glow’,” the pharmacist explains. Better tolerated by the skin, intravenous therapy appears to many people as a gentler alternative to creams and serums that are sometimes too concentrated.
While it is generally advisable to follow a 3 to 4-month course of treatment, with one session per month, this program can also be modified according to the doctor’s advice. There are also a number of contraindications, notably in the event of pregnancy or breast-feeding, allergy, kidney failure, or if you are taking certain medications. Each session lasts 15 to 30 minutes, in a room specially dedicated to intravenous therapy. “Beware, however: while these treatments are highly effective, they are not a miracle solution. Lifestyle also has a direct influence on results and their persistence over time”, reminds Kushmita.
