Hangover & Hydration IV Drip
The Hangover & Hydration IV Drip at Better Med Spa in Chicago delivers a restorative blend of IV fluids, B‑complex vitamins, Vitamin C, and electrolytes to quickly rehydrate, replenish nutrients, and ease post‑night‑out fatigue and fog. In a 30‑ to 45‑minute session, you’ll relax in a zero‑gravity massage chair while this targeted drip supports recovery from hangovers, travel, or intense events—so you can get back to feeling functional faster.
How It Works
Alcohol is a diuretic that increases urine output, depletes electrolytes, and uses up B‑vitamins and other nutrients involved in energy production and alcohol metabolism. The Hangover & Hydration IV Drip delivers isotonic fluids and electrolytes directly into the bloodstream to correct dehydration, while B‑complex vitamins help restore metabolic and nervous system function and Vitamin C adds antioxidant support. IV rehydration is an effective way to address fluid loss, although it does not make the liver clear alcohol faster or “cure” every hangover symptom.
What It Targets
Our Hangover & Hydration IV Drip is designed to address:
- Dehydration-related symptoms: thirst, dizziness, dry mouth, weakness, and rapid heart rate after alcohol use.
- Alcohol-related nutrient depletion, especially B‑vitamins that support brain function, energy, and mood.
- Post‑event fatigue, travel hangovers, or “day after” sluggishness from late nights, celebrations, or conferences.
- Clients on GLP‑1s or peptides who want safer recovery support after occasional indulgence without derailing their broader wellness plan.
Benefits
Experience the ultimate all-in-one solution:
- Rapid rehydration: IV fluids bypass the gut to quickly restore circulating volume and electrolyte balance, often improving lightheadedness and overall “washed out” feelings more efficiently than oral fluids alone.
- Nutrient replenishment: B‑complex vitamins and Vitamin C help address alcohol‑associated losses and support mitochondrial energy, cognitive clarity, and antioxidant defenses.
- Supportive symptom relief: While not a cure‑all, hangover IV therapy can meaningfully improve dehydration‑driven symptoms and fatigue, especially when combined with rest and nutrition.
- Comfort‑first experience: The drip is delivered in a zero‑gravity massage chair, turning “damage control” into a calming reset that fits Better Med Spa’s elevated, wellness‑forward brand.

Questions?
We're here to answer your questions and provide the best services for your needs.
What’s in the Hangover & Hydration IV Drip?
This drip typically includes 500–1,000 ml of IV fluids (normal saline or similar), B‑complex vitamins, Vitamin C, and electrolytes, with the option to add medications like anti‑nausea or anti‑inflammatory agents where appropriate and permitted. Exact formulation is tailored by the medical team.
How fast will I feel better?
Most clients start to feel more clear and hydrated during or within an hour of the drip, especially for symptoms driven by dehydration and B‑vitamin depletion. Headaches, nausea, and brain fog may improve but are not guaranteed to resolve completely.
Does this “cure” a hangover?
No. Medical experts note that while IV hydration can relieve dehydration and some symptoms, it does not instantly fix all effects of alcohol or speed up liver metabolism of alcohol. The Hangover & Hydration IV Drip is a supportive wellness tool, not a license to drink excessively or a substitute for medical care if you feel severely unwell.
How long does it take and how often can I do it?
Standard: ~30‑minute quick hydration option. Enhanced: ~45‑minute, 500–1,000 ml drip for deeper replenishment. Most clients use this drip occasionally—after big events, weekends, or travel—rather than on a fixed schedule; your provider will guide safe frequency.
How does this fit into Better Med Spa programs?
Hangover & Hydration IV is a smart add‑on for weekend or event‑heavy clients, bachelor/bachelorette groups, and professionals who also use GLP‑1s, peptides, or aesthetic services. It can be bundled into “Reset Days” with lymphatic treatments, facials, or body sculpting to turn rough mornings into profitable, loyalty‑building wellness experiences.
Past Client Experiences
"I have noticed a significant difference in the overall appearance of my skin and my friends and family have as well. I am excited to come in for follow-up sessions!"
"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."
"Overall - phenomenal experience. Staff from the estheticians to the front desk were so knowledgeable and kind."
"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

"Outstanding service and spa."
"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."
