Frequently asked questions
Is the Beauty IV really worth $255?
Built individually, the same protocol of high-dose Glutathione, Biotin, Vitamin C, and IV fluids runs close to $290 in add-on pricing. At $255, the Beauty IV bundles the full stack at a lower price than the components, with NP oversight and in-home delivery included. Compare that to a single facial at $200 to $400 that works only on the surface, and the value becomes clear.
How is this different from a standalone single-ingredient IV?
A standalone Glutathione push targets one mechanism. The Beauty IV layers three actives that work together. Vitamin C recycles Glutathione back to its active form, Biotin supports the structural proteins in hair and nails, and IV fluids carry everything into circulation. The combination produces results across skin, hair, and nails that no single ingredient can deliver alone.
Why does this take 50 minutes?
Glutathione and high-dose Vitamin C are best tolerated when infused at a steady, unhurried pace. Pushing them faster can cause flushing or stomach discomfort. Fifty minutes lets your body absorb the full dose comfortably while you relax at home. Most clients use the time to read, watch a show, or simply rest.
Can I get the Beauty IV regularly?
Yes, and consistency is where you see the biggest changes. Most clients book every two to four weeks for ongoing skin and hair support. Brides and event-driven clients often do a series of three to four weekly sessions in the run-up. Your nurse and our NP can help you build a cadence that fits your goals.
What if I have never had a comprehensive IV before?
First-timers are common at Ians IV. Your nurse walks you through every step before placing the IV, and the NP has already approved your treatment. The Beauty IV is well tolerated, and side effects are typically limited to a brief sulfur-like taste from Glutathione that fades in seconds. You will be in a familiar environment the entire time.
Do you accept insurance?
IV therapy is generally not covered by insurance. Ians IV accepts HSA and FSA cards, cash, and all major credit cards. Many clients use HSA or FSA funds for the Beauty IV when their plan allows. If you have questions about payment, email ian@ianiv.com or text 949-430-2422.
Why Ians IV for Your Beauty IV?
Nurse Practitioner oversight on every treatment
Every Beauty IV is reviewed and authorized by a licensed NP before the nurse arrives. You are not getting a template drip, you are getting a clinically supervised treatment in your living room.
We come to you
No drive, no waiting room, no parking. The Beauty IV is fully mobile, so you can get treatment at home, at the hotel, or before an event without rearranging your day.
Real doses, not marketing doses
Glutathione and Vitamin C are dosed at clinically meaningful levels in the Beauty IV. You feel the difference in the mirror after a few sessions, not after a year of hoping.
Who Books a Beauty IV?
Wedding is four weeks out and the photos will live forever. She has tried the facials, the collagen powders, and the green juice. The Beauty IV gives her a concentrated dose of Glutathione and Vitamin C in the weeks leading up to the day, supporting skin clarity and that lit-from-within look that holds up under photography lighting. Most brides book a series of three to four sessions before the wedding.
Skin does not bounce back the way it used to. Sun damage from earlier decades is surfacing. She is not chasing a filter, she wants to look like a well-rested version of herself. Glutathione is the master antioxidant her body produces less of with age, and IV delivery bypasses the absorption issues that make oral supplements underwhelming.
Hair is shedding, nails are brittle, and the mirror feels like a stranger. She is six to twelve months postpartum and the depletion is real. Biotin and Vitamin C support the keratin production behind hair regrowth and nail strength, while Glutathione helps her body recover from the oxidative load of pregnancy and sleep deprivation.
She already has the dermatologist, the retinoid, the tretinoin, the vitamin C serum, and the LED mask. She understands that topical actives can only do so much. The Beauty IV is the internal layer of her routine, supporting collagen synthesis and antioxidant defense at the cellular level where serums cannot reach.
Cabin air, time zones, and hotel water leave her skin dull and dehydrated. She books a Beauty IV the day she lands or the day before a big event. Fifty minutes at home, and her skin looks like it slept eight hours even when she did not.

Full Ingredients Breakdown
| Name | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Glutathione (high dose) | Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant, produced in the liver and depleted by stress, alcohol, sun exposure, and aging. In the Beauty IV it neutralizes free radicals that drive dull skin, hyperpigmentation, and visible aging. IV delivery is essential here because oral glutathione is largely broken down in the gut before it reaches your cells. |
| Biotin | Biotin is a B vitamin that serves as a cofactor in the production of keratin, the structural protein in hair and nails. In this formula it supports stronger nail beds, less breakage, and healthier hair growth cycles. Direct IV delivery ensures full bioavailability without the digestive variability of oral biotin. |
| Vitamin C (high dose) | Vitamin C is a required cofactor for collagen synthesis, the protein that gives skin its firmness and elasticity. In the Beauty IV it works alongside Glutathione, recycling it back to its active form so the antioxidant effect lasts longer. The high IV dose also supports skin brightening and a more even tone over consistent sessions. |
| IV Fluids | Sterile saline carries the active ingredients into circulation while restoring hydration at the cellular level. Well-hydrated skin appears plumper, fine lines soften, and the complexion looks brighter. Hydration is the simplest and most overlooked beauty intervention, and it is the foundation of every IV we run. |
