IV Therapy & Vitamin Injections
Astoria Esthetics offers IV hydration therapy and vitamin injections in Astoria, Queens, administered by registered nurses following an individual health screening. Depending on your needs and eligibility, options may include hydration-focused IV infusions, nutrient blends, and vitamin injections such as B12. Your clinical team reviews your health history, medications, and treatment goals before recommending an appropriate option.
IV therapy delivers fluids and selected nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous catheter, bypassing the digestive tract.
IV hydration and vitamin infusions are sometimes chosen by clients looking for convenient fluid or nutrient support. However, wellness IV therapy is not intended to diagnose, cure, or prevent disease, and evidence supporting many general wellness claims remains limited.
At Astoria Esthetics, every treatment begins with a health screening so your registered nurse can review your medical history, medications, allergies, and individual needs before treatment.
What Is IV Therapy?
What IV Therapy & Vitamin Options Do We Offer?
Your available options may depend on your medical history and clinical screening.
Hydration IV
An IV infusion focused primarily on fluid and electrolyte support.
Recovery IV
A hydration-focused infusion with selected nutrients that may be considered by clients after travel, physical activity, or periods of increased demand.
Nutrient IV
A customized blend of fluids and selected vitamins or nutrients based on available formulations and your clinical screening.
Custom IV
An individualized option discussed with your clinical team based on your goals, health history, and treatment eligibility.
Vitamin Injections
Intramuscular vitamin injections, including available options such as B12, provide a selected nutrient without a full IV infusion.
Your nurse will explain the ingredients, dosage, expected purpose, and potential risks before treatment.
The experience following IV therapy varies considerably depending on the formulation, hydration status, nutritional needs, health history, and individual response.
Some clients may notice changes in how they feel shortly after receiving fluids, while others may notice little or no subjective difference.
IV vitamin therapy should not be presented as a guaranteed way to increase energy, strengthen immunity, improve skin, or treat illness. Research supporting these broad wellness benefits in healthy people remains limited.
Your nurse can explain what is reasonable to expect from the specific treatment you receive.
When Will I Notice Results?
Is IV Therapy Right for Me?
IV hydration or vitamin therapy may be considered for eligible adults after an appropriate health screening.
Before treatment, tell your clinical team if you:
Have kidney, heart, or liver disease
Have high blood pressure or problems with fluid balance
Are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding
Have a history of severe allergies or reactions to medications or IV treatments
Have G6PD deficiency
Take prescription medications or supplements
Have a bleeding or clotting disorder
Have an active illness or unexplained symptoms
Have previously experienced complications from IV therapy
Certain nutrients can interact with medications or create risks when given at inappropriate doses. Kidney disease and some other medical conditions can also increase the risk associated with high-dose nutrient infusions.
If your symptoms require medical evaluation or treatment, an IV wellness infusion should not replace care from your physician or other appropriate medical provider.
What to Expect Before and After IV Therapy
Before Your Appointment

Eat normally unless your clinical team gives you different instructions
Drink water before your appointment

-
Treatment time depends on the formulation and infusion rate. Many IV sessions take approximately 30–60 minutes, in addition to screening and IV placement. Vitamin injections generally take much less time.
-
You may feel a brief pinch when the IV catheter is inserted. Mild tenderness or bruising at the IV site can occur afterward.
-
There is no single schedule appropriate for everyone. Frequency should depend on the formulation, your health history, nutritional needs, and clinical guidance rather than being self-prescribed.
-
IV therapy can be well tolerated when appropriately prescribed, prepared, and administered, but it is not risk-free. Potential complications include bruising, infection, vein irritation, medication interactions, excess nutrient exposure, and fluid-related complications.
-
People with certain heart, kidney, blood-pressure, fluid-balance, pregnancy, allergy, or other medical concerns may not be appropriate candidates. Your clinical team will review your medical history before treatment.
-
IV administration delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream and bypasses gastrointestinal absorption. However, for otherwise healthy people without a deficiency or medical indication, there is limited high-quality evidence that wellness vitamin infusions provide meaningful advantages over appropriate nutrition or oral supplementation.
-
Ingredients vary by formulation and may include fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, or other nutrients. Your nurse will review the exact ingredients and dosage with you before treatment.
-
An IV infusion delivers fluids and selected nutrients through a vein over a period of time. A vitamin injection delivers a specific nutrient into a muscle without providing IV fluid.
