Everything You Need To Know
FAQs
Bali IV Therapy believes that feeling good should be simple. Our FAQs give you a rundown of what to expect when you choose us for your IV therapy treatments.
On General IV Therapy
What is IV therapy and how does it work?
IV therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream through a small intravenous drip, allowing for fast absorption and more efficient use by the body compared to oral supplements. Because the nutrients bypass the digestive system entirely, your body can absorb close to 100% of what is delivered, a significant advantage over tablets or drinks, which can lose much of their effectiveness during digestion. Whether you need rapid rehydration, an energy boost, immune support, or recovery from illness, IV therapy is one of the most direct and efficient ways to restore your body’s balance.
Is IV therapy safe?
Yes, IV therapy is safe when administered by trained professionals following the correct clinical protocols. Every session at Bali IV Therapy begins with a thorough health screening to ensure the treatment is suitable for your individual health status and medical history. We use only pharmaceutical-grade, BPOM-approved (Indonesia’s Food and Drug Authority) ingredients, and all sessions are delivered by registered nurses under doctor supervision.
Does it hurt?
IV treatments generally do not hurt, though you may feel a quick, mild pinch or slight sting when the needle is first inserted, similar to a standard blood test. Once the catheter is in place, the remainder of the session is comfortable, and most clients relax, rest, or even sleep during treatment. Our nurses are highly experienced and take every care to make the insertion process as smooth and pain-free as possible for every client.
How quickly will I feel the effects?
Many people begin to feel more hydrated and energised during or shortly after the session, with continued benefits developing over the following hours or days. Because IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream, the body begins utilising them almost immediately, which is why results are often felt much sooner than with oral supplements or drinks. The speed and extent of the effects will vary depending on the treatment type and your individual health, but most clients leave their session feeling noticeably better than when they arrived.
How often should I get IV therapy?
This depends on your personal health goals and lifestyle. Some people use IV therapy occasionally, such as when recovering from illness, a hangover, or the effects of long-haul travel, while others incorporate it into a regular wellness routine for ongoing hydration, energy, and immune support. We recommend speaking with our team to develop a personalised plan that fits your needs, whether that is a one-off session or a more regular schedule.
Treatment, Safety & Booking
What conditions can IV therapy help with?
IV therapy can support a wide range of conditions and symptoms, including dehydration, fatigue, hangover recovery, Bali Belly, jet lag, general illness recovery, and overall wellness enhancement. It is particularly effective at delivering hydration, electrolytes, vitamins, and medications directly to the body when oral intake is difficult or insufficient. It is important to note that IV therapy helps manage symptoms and supports recovery rather than treating the underlying cause of a medical condition, so it is always best used alongside appropriate medical care when needed.
Can I receive IV therapy at home or in my hotel?
Yes, mobile IV services are available, allowing you to receive treatment at home, in a hotel, at a villa, or at another private location. Our mobile team services Canggu, Pererenan, Seminyak, Kuta, and Seseh, and aims to have a qualified nurse at your door within 45 minutes of booking. This makes accessing professional IV therapy as convenient as possible, especially if you are feeling unwell and unable to travel to a clinic.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects from IV therapy are generally minimal and uncommon when the treatment is administered correctly by a trained professional. Some clients may experience slight discomfort at the injection site, mild bruising, or a cool sensation as the fluid enters the vein, but these typically resolve quickly. Your nurse will discuss any potential risks with you during the health screening before treatment begins and will monitor you throughout the session to ensure everything proceeds safely.
Who should not get IV therapy?
IV therapy may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, including kidney or heart conditions, clotting disorders, or known allergies to specific ingredients. This is why a health consultation and screening are completed before every session to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you. If you have any pre-existing health concerns, let our team know during the booking process and they will advise you on the best course of action.
How do I book an appointment?
Booking is simple and can be done by completing the contact form on our website or by reaching out to us directly via phone or email.
