For many first-time patients, the thought of an IV can sound intimidating. The good news? Most people are surprised by how gentle the process actually is. At Elevate Wellness in Wichita, comfort and relaxation are built into every IV therapy session.
What to Expect During Insertion
The only part that may cause brief discomfort is the initial needle insertion, similar to a quick pinch or blood draw. Once the IV line is in place, a small, flexible catheter remains while the needle is removed. The rest of the session is virtually painless.
How Pain Is Minimized
At Elevate Wellness, our trained staff use sterile, professional techniques and a gentle touch. You’ll be seated in a comfortable position, and the IV site is cleaned and prepared carefully. Most patients say the anticipation is worse than the sensation itself.

What It Feels Like During the Drip
Once the IV is started, you might feel a cool sensation in your arm as fluids begin to flow. This feeling fades quickly, and most people relax during the session, reading, scrolling their phone, or even taking a nap while the drip runs.
After the Drip: What You’ll Notice
When the session ends, the IV is gently removed, and a small bandage is applied. You may feel more hydrated, energized, or clear-headed shortly after. Mild bruising or tenderness at the site can happen but fades within a day or two.
