One of the most common questions first-time patients ask is, “how long do drips usually last?” At Elevate Wellness in Wichita, IV hydration is designed to be effective yet efficient, so you can get the benefits without spending hours in a chair.
Average Session Time
Most IV drips last about 30 to 60 minutes from start to finish. That includes the time it takes for the fluid to enter your bloodstream at a steady, comfortable pace. Some smaller vitamin boosts may take less time, while larger hydration bags may take a little longer.
Factors That Can Change the Duration
Not every IV drip is the same. The length of your session depends on…
- Type of drip – A simple hydration drip may be quicker than a nutrient-packed blend.
- Bag size – A 500 ml drip may finish faster than a 1,000 ml bag.
- Your circulation – Everyone absorbs fluids at slightly different speeds.
According to the Healthline, IV therapy is designed to deliver nutrients and fluids gradually to avoid overwhelming the body.
How Long the Effects Last Afterward
While the drip itself takes less than an hour, the benefits can last for several days. Many patients report improved energy, hydration, and clarity for up to 3–5 days following their session.
