About The Medical IV Bar
Dr Newman has chosen to combine wellness from micronutrient IV therapy along side our offerings of minimally invasive Aesthetic treatments with Lasers, Botox, and Fillers.
Dr Newman points out that in periods of stress, whether you are training for a marathon, recovering from a virus illness, preparing for long haul travel, or recovering from chemotherapy cancer infusions, the addition of micronutrient essential vitamins allows the body to function at optimal performance.
Much research continues to be done on the benefits of micronutrient therapy. Patients do recover more robustly after surgery and laser procedures when vitamin C and B are added to their systems in a more direct method through intravenous infusion.
The main benefit of intravenous (IV) therapy is the rapid availability of these anti-oxidants to our cells without the need of the digestive system. Studies have shown intravenous infusion allows for 50 times greater concentration of vitamin C when compared to oral administration. At Premier Plastic Surgery, most of our patients receive micronutrient therapy while in surgery and contribute to the excellent outcomes we have witnessed over the past decade.
Further customizing with additional B vitamins, Magnesium, Calcium, and certain amino acids such as Glutathione, Arginine, and Lysine can help treat a multitude of symptoms such as fatigue, mental awareness, muscle pain and sleep deprivation.
Much is owed to the pioneering work of Dr Myers, an internal medicine physician at Johns Hopkins University who observed the effects of micronutrient therapy for patients with chronic illness. To read more about the history of micronutrient therapy visit these links.
At the Medical IV Bar, we continue to evaluate and offer safe treatments to patients seeking optimal performance as overall wellness.
