IV therapy delivers fluids and nutrients directly into the bloodstream. Skinovation offers several wellness IV categories, and a consultation helps decide which one, if any, fits your goals and health history.
Wellness IVs
Energy IVs
Immunity IVs
Beauty IVs
Vitamin infusions
B12 shots
Rather than providing the same IV drip to everyone, the first step will be to discuss your personal health information, your wellness needs, your goals, and what Skinovation offers for that service. If you want to explore other wellness services offered at Skinovation, start with our Weight Management and Wellness services.
Have no idea what IV services to explore?
IV therapy introduces liquids and selected ingredients directly through an intravenous line. The specific formulation is what matters most, so your consultation covers the ingredients and the reasoning behind them rather than starting from the name of a drip.
Your provider should explain the type of IV infusion being considered, its contents, the reason each ingredient was selected, whether it suits your clinical situation, reasonable expectations, potential side effects, and whether a different wellness treatment might be more appropriate.
Choosing an IV based on its contents and your goals is a more responsible approach than choosing one based solely on its name.
Wellness IV Drips support general hydration and overall wellbeing. Immunity IV Drips use higher-dose vitamin C and zinc blends. Vitamin Infusions are built around a single nutrient or a custom blend. B12 Shots are a quick intramuscular injection with no drip time required.
Beauty IV Drips and Energy IV Drips each have their own dedicated page with more detail on that specific service.
Explore the Beauty IV DripA personalized wellness IV built around your energy goals
Tiredness has many causes, from stress and poor sleep to diet and workload. The Energy IV Drip at Skinovation Aesthetics in Katy, TX is a personalized wellness option built around your health profile rather than a one size fits all formula.

Being sick is not, on its own, a reason to avoid treatment, and suitability is based on an evaluation rather than assumptions. Come prepared to discuss the following with your provider.
IV therapy is not recommended for people who have a history of difficult IV access, have fainted during blood draws, or have had a previous adverse reaction to an infusion. Just because an ingredient is not a prescription medicine does not mean a wellness drip is automatically safe for you.
Share why you are considering IV therapy and what outcome you are hoping for, rather than starting from the name of a specific drip.
Your provider reviews your medical conditions, medications, allergies, IV treatment history, prior reactions, symptoms, and pregnancy or breastfeeding status.
Your provider explains what is in the IV, the reasoning for each component, whether it is appropriate for you, the likely outcomes, and the possible side effects and risks.
If IV therapy is appropriate, the selected service, expected appointment process, cost and aftercare instructions are explained before you proceed.
An IV is placed, which involves a brief needle insertion, and the selected solution is infused under staff monitoring for the length of the appointment.
Appointment time varies with the formulation and your individual needs. Your provider will let you know what to expect for your specific service.
IV therapy requires a brief needle insertion, so it is never entirely painless, though discomfort is generally minor.
Possible issues include irritation or infection at the insertion site, shifts in fluid balance, swelling, bruising, clotting, bleeding, pain and other adverse reactions. The specific risk profile depends on the infusion and your current health status.
IV therapy is a wellness service, not a medical evaluation or emergency treatment. If you are experiencing severe dehydration, ongoing vomiting, severe weakness, confusion or fainting, seek medical attention rather than booking a wellness appointment.
Tell your provider about all current medications. Do not stop taking any medication before treatment unless your doctor tells you to.
Whether treatment is appropriate during pregnancy or while breastfeeding depends on the formulation and should be reviewed by your doctor.
IV therapy is not intended to create ongoing dependence. If you choose to stop, your lifestyle, health, nutrition and hydration should not be affected by discontinuing it.
Skinovation does not currently have before and after photography for IV therapy, since results are internal and vary by category, formulation and individual.
IV therapy should not be considered a cure-all, a detox treatment, a guarantee against illness, an instant anti-aging solution or a weight loss treatment. Results vary by formulation, your health status and other individual factors, and an IV drip should not take the place of medical evaluation for persistent or concerning symptoms.
Cost depends on the specific service and formulation chosen rather than a single fixed price.
Factors may include
Contact Skinovation for the exact price of the IV service you are interested in.
IV therapy and B12 shots are both offered at Skinovation, but they are distinct. An IV solution is infused through an intravenous line, while a B12 shot is a quick intramuscular injection with no drip time required. If B12 is specifically what you are interested in, it is worth discussing whether a shot alone is appropriate rather than assuming you need a full IV treatment.
IV therapy and medical weight management also address different needs. Medical weight management involves an assessment and an individualized plan that can include nutrition, lifestyle and, where appropriate, prescription treatment. An IV drip is not a weight loss treatment, and clients interested in weight loss should start with a weight management consultation instead.
IV therapy can be one part of a broader personalized wellness plan alongside other Skinovation services, but combining services does not automatically make a better plan. Each service should have its own appropriate purpose.
Skinovation offers a variety of wellness services to help customize your care, with IV therapy as one option among several.
You do not have to choose a drip based on a catchy name. Your consultation starts with your concerns, and IV therapy is treated as one of several customizable wellness options rather than a stand-alone cure-all.
Skinovation is located at 21777 Merchants Way Unit 340 B, Katy, TX 77449, with clients from Katy, Cinco Ranch, Fulshear, Cypress, Richmond, Brookshire, West Houston and the greater Houston area.
Still have questions? Our team is here to help.
Contact usIV therapy is the intravenous delivery of fluids and ingredients.
Skinovation offers Wellness, Energy, Immunity, Beauty IV drips, Vitamin infusion, and B12 shots as wellness services.
Your provider can explain the ingredients and amounts for the selected service before treatment.
Skinovation offers an Energy IV Drip as an elective wellness option. Although an IV drip can help stimulate energy levels, persistent fatigue can be caused by a myriad of factors, and so an IV drip should not be considered a cure-all treatment for fatigue, and should not take the place of further needed examination for severe continuous or concerning symptoms.
Skinovation offers an Immunity IV Drip as a wellness service. It should not take the place of needed medical treatment and should not be viewed as a cure for illness or as a treatment for a weakened immune system.
Skinovation offers a Beauty IV Drip as an elective wellness option. Just how much you can expect the treatment to improve your skin will depend on the formulation and other factors. During your consultation you can speak to your Healthcare Provider about realistic expectations.
IV therapy should not be considered a 'detox' treatment. Your body has ways of processing waste and removing toxins that do not require IV therapy, including the liver and kidneys.
While IV fluids can be used for many things, Skinovation does not recommend their wellness service be used for individuals experiencing severe dehydration or illness.
It is not risk free. There can be side effects and the safety of the treatment depends on your health and the specific formulation.
Because of the nature of the procedure, there is brief discomfort.
The length of an infusion depends on the specific treatment and individual service. Your provider can explain the expected treatment time for your selected IV service.
There is no answer that fits everyone. The frequency should be based on what the service is and on the individual.
Just because you can does not mean you should. Ask Skinovation what is recommended for the specific solution.
You must tell your provider what medication(s) you are taking. Stopping your medication without your doctor telling you to do is dangerous.
Whether or not treatment is safe for the patient is based on the formulation and must be reviewed by the patient's doctor.
An IV is administered intravenously and a shot is an injection. Skinovation offers both solutions.
Yes, but they both must have separate purposes. If weight loss is your concern, you should visit our Medical Weight Management page.
Some services may be able to be utilized at the same time, but others may require a different time for services to be completed. Skinovation will determine if something is safe based on the services being done and your personal history.
Skinovation offers IV therapy as a wellness service, not a sick service or hospital service.
An assessment or consultation is needed so the provider can understand your history and what you are looking to get out of the service.
Cost will depend on the IV service chosen. Contact Skinovation for current IV therapy pricing.
