IV THERAPY IN NANAIMO
Hydration and wellness support in Nanaimo, delivered with clinical care and a calm, patient-centered experience. IV therapy at Rise Medical Aesthetics is medically supervised under the guidance of Laura McIntyre, NP. Treatments are administered by experienced Registered Nurses, with vital signs and comfort monitored throughout your visit. During your treatment we review your health history, discuss your goals, and recommend an IV option that fits your needs.
What is IV Therapy?
IV therapy (often called an “IV hydration drip”) delivers fluids and selected vitamins/minerals directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous line. Many people choose IV therapy as part of a wellness routine—especially when they’re looking for hydration support or a more guided, clinician-led approach to supplementation.
At Rise Medical Aesthetics, we focus on safety, education, and personalized care. Every appointment includes screening, informed consent, and monitoring by trained medical professionals.

Why Choose Rise?
1) Pre-treatment screening
Before treatment, we review:
- Your medical history and current symptoms (if any)
- Medications and supplements
- Allergies and sensitivities
- Past experiences with IVs, needles, or fainting
- Your goals and preferences
This helps us determine whether IV therapy is appropriate and which option may be best suited to you.
2) Personalized recommendation & education
We’ll walk you through:
- What the IV contains
- Why certain ingredients are commonly chosen for wellness support
- What you might feel during the drip
- Possible side effects and risks
- Aftercare guidance
3) Administration in a monitored setting
You’ll be seated comfortably while your IV is started and monitored. We keep the experience calm and supportive, and we check in throughout your appointment.
4) Aftercare & next steps
Before you leave, we’ll review aftercare and answer questions. If you’re building IV therapy into a routine, we can suggest a cadence based on your goals and how you respond—without overpromising outcomes.
SAFETY FIRST APPROACH
At Rise Medical Aesthetics, your safety is our priority. IV therapy is not suitable for everyone. We may recommend postponing or declining treatment depending on your health history, current symptoms, or other factors.
IV therapy may not be appropriate for people with certain medical conditions (for example, some heart, kidney, or fluid-balance concerns) or for those who are unwell in a way that requires medical assessment. If needed, we’ll recommend that you speak with your primary care provider or seek urgent care.
