may be inadvisable or need special caution with: Heart or kidney conditions (fluid balance matters) Certain other medical conditions Pregnancy or breastfeeding Allergies to ingredients Some medications This is precisely why a proper medical assessment comes first — to identify whether IV therapy is safe for you specifically. Never assume a "wellness drip" is fine for everyone.
What to check before you book Before booking IV therapy anywhere, confirm: ✔ a medical
assessment is part of it ✔ the clinic is DHA-licensed and staff are medically trained ✔ genuine products and sterile technique ✔ they'll check your suitability and medical history ✔ honest claims, not hype. Be wary of pop-up or non-medical settings, no-assessment "menu" drips, and bold health promises. (Our safe-clinic guide applies here too.)
Our approach to safe IV therapy At Endless Beauty Clinic, IV therapy is treated as the
medical treatment it is — assessed by a doctor, administered by trained staff, and recommended only where appropriate (and we'll say if it isn't, or suggest testing first). Safety and honesty come before any "wellness" sell. If you're considering IV therapy, a consultation confirms whether it's safe and suitable for you. Individual suitability varies.
