What is Recovery & Performance IV Drip designed for?

This drip is designed for athletes, frequent exercisers, and high‑performers who want to reduce downtime, feel less sore, and maintain strong energy and focus. It can be helpful before or after tough training blocks, races, travel, or high‑stress periods.

How do the amino acids help with performance?

The Amino Blend includes arginine and citrulline, which support nitric oxide production and blood flow, plus lysine and proline, which play roles in tissue repair and collagen structure. Together, these amino acids can support endurance, recovery, and muscle function when combined with training and proper nutrition.

Is this IV safe and who administers it?

IV therapy is generally safe when delivered by trained professionals with appropriate screening and sterile technique. At Better Med Spa, licensed medical staff review your health history, assess for contraindications (such as certain kidney or heart issues), and monitor you throughout the infusion.

How often should I get a Recovery & Performance IV?

Active clients often schedule this drip around key training days, races, tournaments, or intense work weeks—commonly every 2–4 weeks, or as needed. Your provider will help you decide on a frequency that fits your body, goals, and budget.

Does this replace hydration, nutrition, or rest?

No—Recovery & Performance IV Drip is designed to complement, not replace, proper hydration, nutrition, sleep, and training recovery strategies. It gives your body an extra boost of key nutrients to support those habits and can be especially helpful when your schedule or training load is demanding.

How It Works

Recovery & Performance IV Drip delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream for rapid availability, bypassing digestion. Vitamin C provides antioxidant support, collagen synthesis, and immune defense, which are critical around heavy training or stress. VITA‑Complex B‑vitamins help convert food into energy, support red blood cells, and aid nervous system function for focus and stamina. The Amino Blend (arginine, proline, lysine, citrulline) supports blood flow, muscle repair, and metabolism, while the Mineral Blend (magnesium, zinc, manganese, copper) supports muscle relaxation, enzyme function, and recovery.

What It Targets

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!"

"This is definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to for my future skincare treatments. Plus, reasonable price! Highly recommended!"

"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."

"The spa was clean, relaxing, and welcoming. My skin feels so smooth and fresh, and I left glowing."

"I had my very first facial today with Hailey and it was such a great experience! I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"

"I had my facial treatment with Hailey. She provided me with comprehensive information about facial and its effects on my skin. I’m so happy, satisfied and delighted with the result. Her kindness and outstanding professionalism are truly INCREDIBLE."

"From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. I noticed an immediate glow to my skin and am excited to see the long-term results as my skin continues to heal. Highly recommend!"

"My esthetician was incredibly nice and took the time to explain the entire process to me, which really put me at ease. I appreciated how she tailored the treatment to my skin's needs, ensuring I received the best possible results. After the session, she provided me with thorough aftercare instructions, which I found very helpful."

"I went in with no clear expectations because it isn't something that I've ever done before. I will definitely be doing it again every time I'm in Chicago for another visit."

"Grace did a fantastic job. I don't have anything to compare it with, but the full service felt amazing. I was surprised by the number of steps included and how involved it ended up being. Head massage, facial massage, neck and shoulder massage, forearm and hand massage, all while working through multiple steps of the facial cleanse and treatment process. It was great. I'll be back again."
