Antioxidant infusion by IV is an effective and immediate way to intake these vital molecules which nourish cells, boost collagen levels, and helps us form elastin, all contributing to wrinkle reduction and noticeably more vibrant and supple skin.

Live-Cell Therapy
One of the major causes of aging, or perhaps one of the results, is that the number of damaged cells in our bodies outnumbers the new and healthy cells we produce. This creates imbalances that manifest themselves in things like wrinkled skin. Live cell therapy can severely limit the degeneration of cells and facilitate the production of new ones, critical in fighting and even preventing disease.

Treating ailments before they start is a key tenet of holistic medicine and is particularly beneficial as we age, and demonstrates a proactive alternative to the traditional reactive way of prescribing drugs after weve been stricken by symptoms. Some of the things live cell therapy can help prevent or delay are diseases like Alzheimers and Parkinsons, caused by the degeneration of brain cells, and high blood pressure, diabetes, and nephrosis, caused by the degeneration of cells in our internal organs. It can also do wonders for your skin as new cells help it tighten and firm and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Liver Detox
The liver is a vital organ with a wide range of functions like toxin removal, protein synthesis, producing bio-chemicals needed for digestion, and vitamin storage. As we are continuously bombarded by contaminants from the food we consume (in the form of preservatives, pesticides, artificial ingredients, and fungus), the air we inhale, substances our skin absorbs, and even things our own body produces, the liver is busy working all the time. It can therefore sustain damage from all the toxins it processes, but luckily, it is resilient and can repair itself better than any other organ.

Oxygen Therapy
Sometimes known as Haematogenous Oxidation Therapy (H.O.T.) by its more formal name, Oxygen therapy is a treatment undertaken by extracting a small quantity of blood from a patient, enhancing it by infusing it with active oxygen, and then re-inserting it into the bloodstream. It is particularly helpful in activating cell metabolism, helps to keep our immune system healthy and active, and keeps our antioxidant enzyme levels in check.

Vitamin C Infusion
When taken orally, Vitamin C is absorbed through the intestines, but much can be lost in the GI tract and ultimately only about 15-30% of the vitamin is received. In higher doses, since it is passing directly through the gut, it can cause stomach discomfort and diarrhea. For some ailments, higher concentrations of Vitamin C than can be efficiently and comfortably delivered by oral intake have shown to be beneficial. As a result, Vitamin C infusions have caught on as a way to deliver more vitamins directly to the bodys tissues.
