Dr. Michael Hakimi is a board-certified plastic surgeon, operating out of Beverly Hills, using the most advanced techniques in the industry. As a surgeon, Mike wants the best results for his patients. This means he wants them to take care of themselves after they leave the OR, so they can recover faster. However, every day he sees dehydration and poor nutrition as common issues that make the post-op recovery much harder on the patient.... Intravenous treatments provide crucial vitamins, amino acids and electrolytes needed for effective and timely recovery. Mike recommends our Immune IV Drip for post-op recovery because it provides the necessary nutrients for improved immune function, which enhances the body’s ability to protect itself -including fighting infections, healing efficiently, repairing cells and recovering faster.

On top of nourishing the skin from within with water, there are also nutrients that contribute to skin health on a cellular level. This includes foods rich in certain vitamins, like vitamin C, E, and all the Bs, as well as amino acids. We can also help our skin from the outside! By applying a good moisturizer, we improve our skin’s external barrier, which is the top layer of the epidermis, composed of 12 to 15 skin cells. It protects us from the outside, but also locks in n...utrients and hydration. Topical creams are great at bringing back to life dull, dry, flakey skin. Good quality products can replenish hydration on your skin and prevent moisture loss, improving its appearance. Warning signs of dehydration of the sink include dry lips, dry eyes, dry skin patches, flushed skin, cool and blotchy feet and hands.

Besides drinking (and eating!) your water, you can bring back hydration to your body through intravenous rehydration. Our Boost IV drip was created for hydration, vitamin and mineral replenishment. The key components include vitamins A, B, C, D, E, potassium and electrolytes. This is an upgraded and safer version to the currently available IV drips on the market. It can be used to treat various sources of dehydration, as well as burnout and fatigue.... It also offers an overall wellness enhancement, by helping with something as common as dehydration and mineral deficiencies in the body, which can lead to the malfunction of many of its processes. Thanks to our friends at @aestheticsnowvaughan, led by the wonderful @drmoniquemazzuca, for this beautiful picture of their lovely clients @daniellasveryown and @helenekhnano getting our IV Drips.

Between 55% and 78% of our body is made of water. We start at the higher end of the spectrum as babies and become less hydrated as we age. Water is even in our bones! They are 31% water. It is essential to drink enough water every day to make sure our body can continue to function properly: from delivering nutrients to cells and keeping organs functioning properly to keeping joints lubricated and regulating body temperature. Hydration also influences sleep quality, digestion,... cognition, and even mood! We can become dehydrated if we don’t drink enough water or if we lose it too quickly, like when we sweat or when we vomit or get diarrhea. Warning signs of dehydration in the entire body include weakness, low blood pressure, dizziness, confusion, dry mouth, flushed skin and dark-coloured urine.

Our Immune IV has all 9 essential amino acids, plus some conditionally essential, like Arginine, which are essential only under specific circumstances such as illness or stress. It also contains: Methionine, which plays an important role in the absorption of zinc and selenium, minerals that are vital to our health. Leucine, which helps regulate blood sugar levels, stimulates wound healing and produces growth hormones.... Isoleucine, which is important for immune function given its role in hemoglobin production and energy regulation. Lysine and Threonine, which also play an important role in energy production and immune function.
