Not all IV therapy sessions take the same amount of time. The duration of your treatment depends on the type of drip, your body’s absorption rate, and the nutrients inside. At Elevate Wellness in Wichita, every IV drip is adjusted to flow comfortably and effectively for you.
Average Time for IV Drips
Most IV hydration drips take between 30 and 60 minutes to complete. Smaller vitamin-based drips may finish in as little as 20 minutes, while larger 1,000 mL hydration bags or combination therapies may take closer to an hour.
What Affects How Long a Drip Takes
Each session is unique. The total time depends on several factors, such as:
- The drip type: Simple hydration flows faster than nutrient-rich blends.
- Your vein size and blood flow: Circulation speed affects how quickly fluids are delivered.
- Your comfort level: Providers may slow the rate for a gentler experience.
According to Healthline, gradual infusion helps your body absorb fluids safely and efficiently, minimizing discomfort or dizziness.
Can You Control the Flow Rate?
Yes, within reason. The rate of your IV drip can be adjusted based on your comfort and how your body responds. At Elevate Wellness, our trained team ensures the process is calm and balanced, never rushed.
What to Expect During a Session
IV sessions are designed to be relaxing. You can sit back, read, scroll your phone, or even take a quick nap while the drip runs. Most patients describe the process as soothing and leave feeling refreshed, hydrated, and more alert.
