IV Therapy & Vitamin Infusions /

IV therapy and vitamin infusions in Folsom CA, administered by registered nurses Anna Gardner and Michaela Fox under physician supervision, deliver nutrients directly to your bloodstream with 100% bioavailability. Unlike oral supplements that lose most of their potency through digestion, intravenous delivery ensures complete absorption for optimal wellness support.

At Seven Medical Aesthetics, our RN founders bring medical training and patient care expertise to every treatment. With Medical Director Dr. Kayla Milano providing physician oversight, we offer evidence-based IV therapy in a boutique Historic Folsom setting for clients seeking wellness support grounded in clinical protocols, not wellness hype.

Whether you’re managing chronic fatigue, supporting immune function, recovering from athletic exertion, or addressing nutrient absorption challenges, we take a conservative, consultation-first approach to determine if IV therapy is appropriate for your needs.

What is IV Therapy? Understanding Bioavailability and Wellness Support

IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream through intravenous administration. By bypassing the digestive system entirely, nutrients achieve virtually 100% bioavailability compared to the variable absorption of oral supplements, which can be as low as 15-20% or even lower for many nutrients depending on individual digestive health and the specific compound. Research published by the National Institutes of Health confirms that nutrients administered intravenously enter systemic circulation without being subjected to digestive processes that reduce their potency.

Here’s what’s happening during IV therapy. Your digestive system, while effective for food, creates a barrier for supplements. Nutrients taken orally must survive stomach acid, pass through the liver where substantial metabolism occurs, and navigate intestinal absorption.

The result? Most of what you swallow never reaches your cells at therapeutic concentrations.

IV therapy solves this limitation through direct bloodstream delivery. Vitamins, minerals, and amino acids reach tissues and cells immediately at full potency, making this delivery method particularly valuable for individuals with malabsorption conditions. Research shows that people with conditions like Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, IBS, or altered gut anatomy following bariatric surgery frequently face challenges in maintaining optimal nutrient status through oral supplementation alone, making IV therapy a viable option when digestive systems can’t absorb effectively.

That said, we’re honest about limitations. Mayo Clinic research notes limited evidence that IV vitamins provide benefit to people with normal nutritional intake and levels. We position IV therapy as strategic wellness support for specific needs, not a miracle cure for everyone. Your complimentary consultation helps us determine if you’re a good candidate.

Our IV Therapy Options at Seven Medical Aesthetics

We offer several formulations based on your wellness goals, all administered by our RN team in a comfortable private setting.

Hydration IV Therapy addresses fluid and electrolyte replenishment for dehydration, hangover recovery, or athletic recovery. Normal saline combined with electrolytes and B-complex vitamins restores hydration more effectively than drinking water alone when you’ve lost significant fluids through illness, travel, or intense exercise.

Immune Support IV Therapy delivers high-dose vitamin C, zinc, B-vitamins, and antioxidants to support immune function during cold and flu season, before or after travel, or when you’re feeling run down. While this won’t prevent illness with certainty, many clients report feeling better prepared to handle seasonal challenges.

Energy & Performance IV Therapy combines B-vitamin complex with amino acids and magnesium to support cellular energy production. Clients with chronic fatigue, demanding schedules, or athletic goals often find this formulation helpful. Results vary based on underlying factors.

NAD+ Therapy infuses nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme involved in cellular metabolism and DNA repair. Research from the National Institutes of Health identifies NAD+ restoration as a therapeutic target that can positively impact cellular aging, though most evidence comes from preclinical studies. We offer NAD+ therapy for clients interested in longevity-focused interventions, with the understanding that human clinical trials remain limited.

Customized Blends allow us to formulate specific combinations based on your consultation. Rather than choosing from a pre-set menu, you work with our RNs to design a protocol addressing your particular wellness objectives and budget.

Why Seven Takes a Conservative Approach to IV Therapy

Many med spas make aggressive anti-aging and performance claims about IV therapy.

We don’t.

We take a conservative, evidence-based approach because that’s the medically responsible position. Here’s what that means in practice. While competitors promise “revolutionary anti-aging breakthroughs” or “guaranteed energy transformation,” we frame IV therapy as strategic nutritional support for specific circumstances, not a miracle solution for everyone.

Our RN founders Anna and Michaela bring more than just injection credentials to this service. Their nursing training includes patient assessment skills, intravenous therapy competency, recognition of contraindications, and emergency response protocols. When you see “RN-administered” elsewhere, it often means a nurse carries out orders. When you see “RN-founded” at Seven, it means clinical thinking shaped the service design from the beginning.

Consider what’s been happening in the IV therapy industry. In 2021, the FDA issued safety alerts about unsanitary compounding conditions at IV hydration clinics, medical spas, and mobile IV services. The agency documented serious adverse events, including a patient hospitalized with suspected septic shock after receiving an IV vitamin infusion at a facility with contaminated compounding areas.

We tell you this not to create fear, but to demonstrate awareness. At Seven, Dr. Milano’s medical oversight ensures we comply with sterile compounding standards. We source nutrients from certified pharmacy partners, not convenience suppliers. We screen health history before every treatment because safety matters more than sales.

This conservative philosophy attracts a specific type of client. You’ve probably been researching IV therapy for weeks, maybe months. You’ve read the wellness hype and felt skeptical. You want the potential benefits but you’re not interested in being oversold or taking unnecessary risks. You value medical expertise over Instagram marketing.

That’s exactly who we designed this service for. Educated buyers who research thoroughly, question aggressive claims, and prefer working with medical professionals who prioritize their safety over commission-driven upselling.

The IV Therapy Process at Seven Medical Aesthetics

Your experience begins with a complimentary consultation where we review your health history, discuss your wellness goals, and assess whether IV therapy is appropriate for your situation. There’s no pressure to proceed. Sometimes we recommend alternatives or suggest IV therapy isn’t necessary.

If you decide to move forward, we’ll schedule your first session at our Historic Folsom location at 605 Sutter St. The treatment itself takes place in a comfortable private setting where you can relax, read, or work on your phone during the infusion.

Our RN prepares your customized IV blend following sterile protocols, then inserts a small IV catheter (similar to what you’d experience during routine bloodwork, brief discomfort but minimal). The infusion runs 30-60 minutes depending on the formulation. Most clients describe the experience as relaxing once the initial insertion is complete.

During the infusion, your RN monitors the treatment. You’ll experience immediate nutrient delivery as the solution enters your bloodstream. Some clients notice a subtle energy shift during treatment, though responses vary individually.

Afterward, there’s no recovery period required. You can resume normal activities immediately. We provide hydration recommendations and discuss follow-up scheduling if regular treatments make sense for your wellness goals. Many clients incorporate IV therapy monthly for ongoing support, while others use it situationally for travel, illness recovery, or seasonal immune challenges.

IV Therapy Safety and Medical Oversight

Dr. Kayla Milano, our Medical Director, oversees all IV therapy protocols to ensure compliance with medical safety standards. Every treatment is administered by Anna or Michaela, both registered nurses with extensive IV therapy training. (We don’t delegate to unlicensed staff, ever.)

Our safety protocols include sterile compounding in compliance with pharmacy standards, medical-grade nutrients sourced from certified partners, single-use sterile equipment for every treatment, and health screening before each session to identify contraindications.

We’re also honest about who should NOT receive IV therapy without additional medical clearance. Certain conditions require consultation with your primary care physician first, including pregnancy or breastfeeding (always consult your OB-GYN before any elective treatments), significant kidney or heart conditions that affect fluid balance, active infections or compromised immune states, and specific medication interactions our RNs screen for during consultation.

This screening process isn’t bureaucratic obstruction. It’s medical practice. The FDA has raised concerns about wellness IV providers operating without adequate safety protocols, and we take that responsibility seriously. Your consultation ensures we understand your full health picture before proceeding.

Frequently Asked Questions About IV Therapy in Folsom

How much does IV therapy cost in Folsom?

IV therapy pricing varies based on the specific treatment, nutrient blend, and frequency. Hydration therapy represents our most accessible option, while specialized treatments like NAD+ infusions involve premium pricing due to the cost of pharmaceutical-grade NAD+. We discuss pricing transparently during your complimentary consultation based on your wellness goals and recommend a protocol that fits your budget. Financing options may be available through Cherry or CareCredit if you prefer to distribute costs over time.

Is IV therapy safe?

When administered by qualified medical professionals following sterile protocols, IV therapy is very safe. At Seven, all treatments are RN-administered under physician supervision with medical-grade nutrients and single-use sterile equipment. We screen for contraindications during consultation. Side effects are rare and limited to minor injection site irritation. Serious adverse events occur when providers cut corners on compounding safety or skip medical screening, which is why our conservative approach includes both.

How long do IV therapy results last?

Results vary depending on the treatment type and your individual metabolism. Hydration effects may last 2-4 days. Immune support and energy benefits last several days to a week. Some clients schedule monthly sessions for ongoing wellness maintenance. NAD+ therapy effects are less clearly defined, with most research suggesting cellular benefits accumulate over time with repeated treatments. We provide realistic expectations during consultation rather than promising specific durations.

How often should I get IV therapy?

Frequency depends entirely on your wellness objectives. Some clients use IV therapy occasionally for acute needs like travel recovery, pre-event immune support, or post-illness rehydration. Others incorporate it into monthly wellness routines for ongoing nutritional support. Our RNs provide personalized recommendations during consultation, but there’s no mandatory frequency. This isn’t a subscription model. You decide what makes sense for your health and budget.
