Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does mobile IV therapy work?

    A licensed clinician travels to your home, office, or event location with sterile equipment and administers fluids, vitamins, and electrolytes directly into your bloodstream for rapid absorption. The process typically takes 30–45 minutes and provides immediate hydration and nutrient delivery. At The Palmetto Drip, all infusions follow medical-grade safety protocols.
  • When should you schedule an IV for hangover relief?

    Early morning or same-day scheduling works best for fast symptom relief from headaches, nausea, and dehydration. The sooner you receive hydration and vitamins after drinking, the quicker your recovery. At The Palmetto Drip, we offer on-demand hangover IV therapy across Charleston and surrounding areas.
  • What's the difference between hydration IV and vitamin IV therapy?

    Hydration IV focuses primarily on replenishing fluids and electrolytes to address dehydration from heat, activity, or illness. Vitamin IV therapy delivers targeted nutrients like B vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals for energy, immunity, and overall wellness. At The Palmetto Drip, we tailor each infusion to your specific goals.
  • Can IV therapy help with Charleston's heat and humidity?

    Yes, mobile IV hydration rapidly replenishes fluids and electrolytes lost during hot, humid days common in Charleston's coastal climate. It's especially helpful after outdoor activities, long beach days, or extended time in the sun. Many Charleston residents use IV therapy to recover quickly from heat-related fatigue.
  • What are the benefits of immune support IV therapy?

    Immune support IVs deliver vitamins, antioxidants, and electrolytes that strengthen your body's natural defenses against illness. They're particularly effective during allergy seasons, travel, flu season, or high-stress periods. At The Palmetto Drip, we recommend early scheduling during peak exposure times for best results.
  • How do you prepare for a mobile IV session?

    Stay moderately hydrated beforehand, eat a light meal, and wear comfortable clothing with easy arm access. Let your clinician know about any medications, allergies, or health concerns during booking. At The Palmetto Drip, our licensed professionals bring all necessary equipment and handle setup at your location.
  • What's the biggest mistake people make with IV therapy?

    Waiting too long to schedule when symptoms are severe, rather than using IV therapy proactively for wellness maintenance or early recovery. Consistent use during high-stress periods, seasonal changes, or before/after travel yields better results. At The Palmetto Drip, we encourage routine sessions for ongoing health benefits.
  • Can custom IV blends be adjusted for specific goals?

    Yes, licensed clinicians can personalize nutrient levels based on your wellness goals such as energy, hydration, recovery, or immune support. Each custom blend uses high-quality vitamins and minerals tailored to your body's needs. At The Palmetto Drip, we offer consultations to design fully customized infusion plans.
  • Is mobile IV therapy safe for athletes and active people?

    Absolutely, energy and performance IV therapy delivers vitamins and minerals that support stamina, reduce fatigue, and speed recovery after workouts or events. It's popular among Charleston's fitness communities for metabolic support and mental clarity. At The Palmetto Drip, we serve active clients throughout Mount Pleasant and Park Circle.
  • How quickly does IV therapy relieve dehydration symptoms?

    Most clients feel relief within minutes as fluids and electrolytes absorb directly into the bloodstream, bypassing digestion. Full rehydration and symptom improvement typically occur within 30–60 minutes. At The Palmetto Drip, we use sterile equipment and premium solutions for fast, effective recovery.
  • Can you get group IV therapy for corporate events?

    Yes, mobile IV services are available for corporate offices, retreats, weddings, and wellness gatherings with on-site group administration by licensed professionals. It's ideal for team wellness days, long conferences, or hospitality events. At The Palmetto Drip, we serve groups throughout Charleston, Daniel Island, and Kiawah Island.
  • What affects the results of detox IV therapy?

    Hydration status, nutrient deficiencies, lifestyle factors, and consistency of treatment all influence detox and anti-fatigue IV outcomes. Supporting infusions with healthy habits like sleep, hydration, and balanced nutrition enhances effectiveness. At The Palmetto Drip, we recommend scheduling during high-stress or low-energy periods for optimal rejuvenation.
