If you’re feeling low on energy, run down, or in need of an immune boost, both vitamin injections and IV therapy can help. But which one is right for you — and what’s the actual difference?
What Are Vitamin Injections?
Vitamin injections deliver a concentrated dose of nutrients directly into your muscle (usually the arm or hip) using a quick, small injection.
At Dream Spa Medical, we offer targeted options like:
- B12 injections – energy + metabolism
- MIC (fat-burning) shots – support weight loss
- Glutathione – powerful antioxidant for skin, detox, and immunity
Benefits of vitamin injections:
- Quick and convenient (takes just a few minutes)
- No IV drip required
- Great for maintenance between larger treatments

What Is IV Therapy?
IV therapy delivers a blend of fluids, vitamins, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream via small catheter in your arm. This allows for 100% absorption and larger doses of nutrients.
Our IV menu includes:
- Dream Boost (Myer’s Cocktail) – for immunity, energy, and mood
- B-Lean Drip – for metabolism + weight support
- NAD+ IV – for brain function, cellular repair, and longevity
Benefits of IV therapy:
- Hydrates and nourishes the body instantly
- Perfect for recovery, burnout, or illness
- Longer-lasting effects and higher-dose nutrients
Injections vs. IV Therapy: What’s the Difference?
| Vitamin Injections | IV Therapy | |
|---|---|---|
| Absorption | Fast (intramuscular) | Immediate (intravenous) |
| Duration | Quick (5–10 mins) | 30–60 minutes |
| Hydration | No | Yes – fluids included |
| Nutrient Dose | Lower | Higher |
| Best For | Maintenance & quick boosts | Deep replenishment & recovery |
Which One Should I Choose?
- Choose vitamin injections if you’re looking for a quick, affordable boost between bigger treatments
- Choose IV therapy if you’re feeling burnt out, dehydrated, or need fast recovery from travel, workouts, or illness
- Combine both for a custom wellness plan tailored to your needs
Our providers will help you decide what’s right for your goals — whether it’s metabolism support, immune strengthening, or just a much-needed energy reset.
