Between high temperatures, outdoor events, and nonstop summer schedules, it's easy to become dehydrated - even when drinking water regularly. While staying hydrated is essential, sometimes the body needs more than just a few extra glasses of water. That's where IV hydration therapy comes in.

At The Spa at MPS in Louisville, KY, IV therapy offers a fast, efficient, and rejuvenating way to rehydrate the body and restore essential nutrients. Whether you're feeling run-down, traveling frequently, or simply trying to keep your energy and glow all summer long, IV therapy delivers hydration from the inside out.

What is IV Therapy?

IV hydration therapy is a wellness treatment that delivers a blend of vitamins, minerals, and fluids directly into the bloodstream. This allows the body to absorb nutrients more effectively than with oral intake alone. IV therapy is ideal for replenishing lost fluids, supporting immune health, and improving symptoms related to dehydration, fatigue, or illness.

At The Spa at MPS in St. Matthews, each IV therapy session is performed in a relaxing treatment room, where patients can unwind in comfort while receiving their infusion. Most people feel noticeably refreshed and reenergized within 30-45 minutes - and can resume normal activities right away.

IV Drip Options at The Spa at MPS

Our team offers three curated IV drip formulas that address a range of health and wellness needs: 

  1. Rise and Shine IV Drip - This drip is designed to replenish electrolytes, boost energy, and hydrate quickly - making it a great option for anyone feeling sluggish, dehydrated, or recovering from a stomach virus or food poisoning. B vitamins help elevate energy levels and improve overall stamina. 
  2. Natural Defense IV Drip - Ideal for those with a cold, flu, or anyone feeling under the weather, the Natural Defense drip is packed with vitamin C and powerful antioxidants. This blend helps reduce inflammation, support immune function, and protect the body of oxidative stress. 
  3. Fountain of Youth Drip - A favorite for skin health and overall rejuvenation, the Fountain of Youth drip supports anti-aging, cellular repair, and detoxification. It helps brighten the skin, cleanse the liver, and eliminate free radicals for a healthier, more radiant complexion.

Summer Benefits of IV Therapy

Hydration is always important - but in summer, it's critical. IV therapy can help: 

  • Combat dehydration from heat and outdoor activities. 
  • Improve energy levels and mood during busy summer schedules. 
  • Support post-sun skin recovery. 
  • Reduce inflammation and boost immunity. 
  • Enhance post-travel or post-illness recovery. 
  • Maintain a glowing, hydrated complexion.

Each drip can be tailored to your individual wellness needs after a brief assessment to ensure you're a good candidate.

1st class service all the way! From day 1 I was so impressed by the welcome, the professionalism, and the care that the staff showed. For each appointment, I waited less than 5 minutes to be seen. They took their time and did not rush me, making sure every question I had was answered. Each of the nurses were so genuine - even after surgery and with follow up appointments. Dr. Mays was wonderful - confident, knowledgeable, great bedside manner, and easy to work with. I am a few weeks into recovery now, and can't wait to see the final results in a few months. I highly recommend this team for any of your cosmetic needs.

From my very first visit, the entire team at Mays Plastic Surgery & Med Spa made me feel welcome, valued, and genuinely cared for. Every step of my journey — from consultation, to surgery, to post-operative care, to Med Spa treatments — has been nothing short of outstanding. The surgical staff is professional, attentive, and truly compassionate. They made the surgical experience smooth, comfortable, and even calming, which speaks volumes about the environment they create.The Med Spa services, including massages, facials, skin treatments, and chemical peels, have been outstanding. Ashley, in particular, is an incredible aesthetician whose expertise, kindness, and personalized approach have made a huge difference in my skincare journey.I also highly recommend trying one of their aMAYSing Med Spa packages - they offer an incredible value and a wonderful way to experience a variety of their services.What truly sets Mays Plastic Surgery & Med Spa apart is the environment they’ve created — it feels like family.Every visit is met with smiles, encouragement, and genuine connection. I always look forward to stopping in.I am beyond grateful for the care, skill, and dedication this team brings to everything they do. They have made every step of my journey feel supported, empowering, and truly special. I can't recommend Mays Plastic Surgery & Med Spa highly enough.

Ashley and Trina have literally helped me age backwards! I am in my early 40's and until about a year ago did little to no skin care for my face. They have helped me with skin care, toxin, and filler. I trust them both and highly recommend them! Ashley has been so kind and patient with all of my skin care questions. Taking care of your skin/face is an investment but trust them and the process, you won't regret it!

I got my lips done by Trina almost a year ago and they STILL look amazing! I can't recommend her enough. She enhances your natural beauty and wonderful to chat with. She's absolutely the best and so nice.
