High-Dose Vitamin C IV Therapy Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of high-dose vitamin C IV therapy?
High-concentration vitamin C IV drips are expected to help improve dark spots, dullness, rough skin, and acne, as well as relieve fatigue.
By administering vitamin C directly into a vein, we harness its antioxidant properties and its ability to promote collagen production to support beauty and health from the inside out.
Who is a high-dose vitamin C IV treatment suitable for?
High-concentration vitamin C IV drips are ideal for those concerned about dark spots, dullness, enlarged pores, rough skin, and everyday fatigue.
This IV treatment is a great option for those who want to take care of both their beauty and health from the inside out.
Is even a single high-dose vitamin C IV treatment effective?
While some people notice a difference after their very first high-dose vitamin C IV treatment, the way the effects manifest varies from person to person.
Especially when the goal is to achieve beautiful skin or a brighter complexion, it can be difficult to notice significant changes after just one session, so it’s important to continue receiving treatments based on your goals.
How often should I get a high-dose vitamin C IV drip?
At YAYOI CLINIC, the number of treatments and the intervals between them vary depending on your goals, so our doctors will determine the appropriate plan after your procedure. If you’d like to receive treatments on a regular basis, we’ll recommend a schedule tailored to your physical condition and goals.
Why is a blood test performed before a high-dose vitamin C IV treatment?
To ensure your safety (and to check for G6PD deficiency, which carries a risk of hemolysis), YAYOI CLINIC conducts a G6PD activity screening test in advance.
Because individuals with G6PD deficiency cannot receive high-dose vitamin C IV infusions, it is necessary to confirm this prior to treatment.
How long does a high-dose vitamin C IV take?
The treatment time for a high-concentration vitamin C IV drip is typically about 30 to 45 minutes.
The duration of the treatment varies depending on the volume of the IV drip and does not include time spent on consultations or other procedures.
Will getting a high-concentration vitamin C IV treatment cause more gray hair?
There is no evidence or reports suggesting that high-dose vitamin C IV therapy causes an increase in gray hair.
Although vitamin C helps suppress melanin production, it is not believed that receiving an IV drip causes an increase in gray hair.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with high-dose vitamin C IV therapy?
High-concentration vitamin C IV therapy may cause swelling or bruising at the injection site, as well as swelling, itching, rashes, headaches, vascular pain, and nausea.
Since this treatment is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with severe heart or kidney failure, or those with G6PD deficiency, a physician at YAYOI CLINIC will determine eligibility in advance.
Are high-dose vitamin C IV treatments covered by insurance?
High-concentration vitamin C IV therapy is not covered by insurance and is considered out-of-pocket treatment.
Since these IV treatments are intended for beauty and health maintenance, you will be responsible for the costs.
