Should I Consider Vitamin IV infusion after surgery?

It has been understood that Vitamin C is essential for the body’s production of collagen. Collagen in turn is essential for wound healing and provides the skin with much needed support. When the body undergoes surgery or endures a trauma, nearly 100 times more Vitamin C is required for quick healing. This is rapidly drawn from what your body has been storing and can lead to multiple vitamin deficiencies. The period after surgery is also when you are most vulnerable to becoming sick because most of your energy will be put into tissue repair. IV infusion increases the amount of vitamins your body can absorb and allows it to enter the bloodstream quickly. If you attempted to take this much Vitamin C orally, you would suffer additional side effects such as diarrhea or abdominal discomfort. The addition of IV glutathione helps to reduce inflammation and encourage tissue healing. Our office is happy to offer Liquivida IV infusion kits that are specifically tailored to improve your overall recovery period.

The Liquililft is our go to vitamin IV drip designed to help improve your overall health, particularly when preparing and/or healing from surgery. It includes the following ingredients:

Vitamin C – A powerful tool to reduce pigmentation and sun damage

Topical vitamin C serums are a natural antioxidant that can help reduce skin pigmentation and prevent future spots from showing up. Vitamin C has long been known for its ability to protect the body from immune system deficiencies, reduce heart disease, strengthen bones and teeth, and prevent against premature aging. Vitamin C is not something that is naturally found within the body and needs to be supplemented with diet, vitamins, and products containing vitamin C.

Benefits

• A pure vitamin C serum has the ability to quickly exfoliate the surface of the skin to reduce pigmentation and create a brighter more even skin tone.

• It continues to work one step deeper by targeting melanocytes below the skin’s surface to prevent new pigmentation from forming.

• Natural antioxidants protect the skin from free radical damage caused by sun and pollution leading to early skin aging.

• It creates lipid hydration to rebuild the protective skin barrier and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Our Product of Choice – ZO C-Bright 10% Vitamin C serum

We love this product because it does not activate until it comes into contact with the skin. Many other vitamin C serums on the market oxidize quickly and have a very short half life, usually only a couple of weeks. This is a water free formula that relies on the natural water present in the skin in order to be activated.

Active Ingredients

10% Ascorbic acid – generates a brighter complexion by exfoliating existing pigmentation on the surface of the skin

Co-Q10 – a powerful antioxidant that reduces inflammation and protects the skin from outside damage

Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate – targets a deeper level in the skin to prevent 80% of new pigment formation by blocking melanin functions and produces collagen to decrease appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

Squalane – provides additional hydration by replicating the body’s natural moisturizing mechanism

Tips for Use

• Since C-bright does not contain water, it relies on the water within the skin in order to be activated. This should be the first product applied to the skin after cleansing and toning. It will not penetrate well through other products on the skin.

• It can be used morning and night and should be started every other day, working up to daily use.

• It glides easily under make-up and provides additional hydration to your normal skin care routine.
