Vital Wellness Frequently Asked Questions

Who can get an IV?

Typically, almost anyone. We only treat adults in our facility and require that patient be at least 18 years of age to receive therapy.

Your safety is our biggest concern and we do not treat patients with certain medical conditions such as heart failure, orarrhythmias, uncontrolled hypertension, chronic kidney disease and liver cirrhosis.

We will take your medical history prior to administering any treatments and make sure you are a good candidate for our specific therapies.

We do not administer IVs to pregnant women.

How does the IV work?

The benefits of IV therapy come from rapidly replacing fluids, electrolytes, medications and vitamins.

This is more rapid than ingesting the ingredients because you bypass the gastrointestinal tract and have a faster rate of absorption and faster effect of the vitamins.

What are the side effects of getting an IV? Are IVs safe?

Any time there is a needle physically entering the skin, there is a small risk of infection, bleeding, bruising and slight pain.

We do all we can to avoid these common side effects including proper prep, proper needle size and using trained professionals.

How long will it take?

Most infusions are completed within 35-45 minutes. Shots only take a few minutes.

Booking an appointment ahead of time will save you time in the clinic.

Semaglutide, a single glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) medication, and Tirzepatide, a dual peptide medication targeting both GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors, are both administered on a weekly basis to patients who meet specific criteria.

These medications assist in the regulation of blood glucose levels, enhance the sensation of fullness, and diminish appetite.

On average, patients may experience a weight loss ranging from 10% to 15%. 

The most frequently reported adverse effects include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and gastroesophageal reflux.

Initiating weight loss treatments necessitates a consultation with a licensed medical provider, as well as appropriate laboratory testing.

At Vital Wellness, we address common concerns such as low libido in women, low testosterone in men, erectile dysfunction, vaginal dryness, and hormone imbalance.

Many women experience decreased desire due to perimenopause, menopause, stress, or hormonal changes, and treatments like HRT, testosterone therapy for women, vaginal estrogen, and targeted supplements can improve sexual health and comfort.

Men often struggle with low sex drive, ED, or symptoms of low testosterone, including fatigue, poor erections, and decreased performance; options such as TRT, ED medications, lifestyle support, and hormone optimization can help restore libido and energy.

Both men and women may notice libido changes related to stress, sleep issues, metabolic health, or medications. If low libido, ED, or sexual discomfort is affecting your quality of life, our sexual health clinic in Dallas and Frisco offers personalized evaluation and evidence-based treatment to help you feel your best.

To respect our practitioners’ time and ensure availability for all patients, we kindly require a minimum of 24 hours’ notice for any appointment cancellations. Missed of late-cancelled appointments will now require pre-payment for the next visit, as our clinic continues to grow and accommodate more clients. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to continuing to provide you with exceptional care in a timely and fair manner.
