The IV & Peptide Therapy Procedure
No anesthesia is required; most patients feel only a quick pinch as the tiny catheter is placed.
During the procedure:
- Your arm or hand is cleansed and a small catheter is inserted
- Selected nutrient and peptide blend is connected to the IV line
- Infusion rate is adjusted for comfort and optimal absorption
- You relax in a comfortable chair for 20-45 minutes
Once the infusion is complete, the catheter is removed, a small bandage is applied, and you are encouraged to drink water before heading back to your day.

IV & Peptide Therapy Results and Safety Considerations
Knowing how your body processes nutrients and how we maintain stringent safety standards can help you feel confident in your treatment choice.
Achieving Natural-Looking Results
IV & Peptide Therapy supports your body’s inherent healing mechanisms rather than attempting to override them. By tailoring each infusion to your nutrient needs and wellness objectives, we help your body function at its best, resulting in a healthy, natural glow and improved vitality. Genetics, baseline nutrient levels, and lifestyle habits all influence your outcome. Our team reviews these factors to set realistic expectations and fine-tune your formula over time for sustainable benefits.
Where Are the Incisions?
- There are no surgical incisions with IV therapy—only a tiny needle puncture at the insertion site.
- Small catheter insertion in forearm or hand
- The puncture is minimal and typically closes within minutes, leaving no lasting mark.
Is Scarring a Concern?
- Because only a fine needle is used, visible scarring is extremely unlikely. Mild redness or a small bruise may appear but fades quickly.
Scar Healing Timeline
- Hours 1-24
Site may appear pink or raised - Days 2-3
Any redness subsides; small bruise may form - Days 4-7
Bruise fades; skin returns to normal appearance - 2 weeks
No visible trace for most patients
Keeping the area clean and avoiding strenuous arm activity the first day helps minimize bruising.

Dr. Song performed my breast implant surgery nearly 10 yrs ago with the ideal breast implant. I've had no issues in this time. I live on the other side of the country now, but I would've loved to come back for removal, since I'm on an all natural journey. I hope to find someone who can take care of me, keep me safe, & assured during & after surgery as Dr. Song & his staff did.
Thank you Dr. Song. I’m 10 days post opp and am so happy with my experience with my mommy makeover! I can’t tell you how comfortable Dr. Song and his staff made me feel throughout this whole process. Surgery is a bit of a scary decision and sometimes I agonized about for years but I can promise you are in the best care with this team. I highly highly recommend them and am already so happy with my results !
