IV therapy is administered by a licensed, board-certified nurse practitioner after an individual assessment, review of relevant history, and vital-sign screening.

No. Bolus Med Spa is not a sick clinic or urgent care. Patients with active vomiting, fever, suspected influenza or COVID-19, abnormal vital signs, significant dehydration symptoms, or other findings suggesting acute illness will not receive elective IV therapy and will be referred to urgent care, emergency care, or another appropriate medical setting depending on severity.

Most people feel a brief needle stick during IV placement. Mild pressure, coolness, or awareness of the IV may occur. Pain, burning, swelling, or other concerning symptoms at the site should be reported immediately.

IV therapy is generally well tolerated in appropriately screened patients, but it is not risk-free. Potential risks include bruising, bleeding, infiltration, phlebitis, infection, allergic or infusion reactions, electrolyte or fluid-related complications, and ingredient-specific adverse effects.

Most patients can return to normal activities after an uncomplicated infusion. Temporary bruising or tenderness at the IV site can occur.

A licensed, board-certified nurse practitioner reviews relevant medical history, medications, allergies, goals, temperature, and vital signs. If treatment is appropriate, an IV is placed and the selected infusion is administered while you are monitored.

Maybe, but not necessarily. Some patients report feeling refreshed or better, while others notice little or no immediate subjective change. The infusion still delivers the prescribed fluid directly into the circulation even when you do not perceive a dramatic sensation.

IV fluids are routinely used in medical settings when fluid replacement is clinically indicated. Elective IV therapy at Bolus is for appropriately screened wellness patients and is not a substitute for urgent or emergency evaluation when significant dehydration or acute illness is suspected.

Patients commonly seek elective hydration after travel, a late night, demanding exercise, races, or competitions. Bolus does not represent IV therapy as a cure for hangovers, jet lag, headache, or athletic recovery.

Headache can accompany dehydration, but it has many possible causes. A new, severe, unusual, or neurologically associated headache requires appropriate medical evaluation rather than elective wellness treatment.

A Myers Cocktail is an IV micronutrient infusion containing vitamins and minerals. Formulations vary. Published clinical evidence is limited, and Bolus does not present it as a proven treatment for broad wellness claims.

NAD+ is a naturally occurring coenzyme involved in cellular metabolism and redox biology. Human IV NAD+ research remains limited. Available studies include pharmacokinetic and tolerability data, while clinical effectiveness for broad wellness outcomes has not been established.

NAD+ infusions may need to run more slowly than simple hydration because some patients develop infusion-related symptoms when the rate is not well tolerated. Timing is individualized.

Glutathione is an antioxidant naturally produced by the body and involved in cellular redox balance. Bolus offers glutathione as a slow IV push for appropriately screened patients. Evidence for cosmetic skin lightening, especially by the IV route, is limited and should not be overstated.

Glutathione is frequently marketed for skin brightening or lightening, but the evidence is limited and route-dependent. For hyperpigmentation or uneven tone, professional skincare, chemical peels, MOXI and other pigment-focused approaches may be more appropriate.

These are injectable wellness options that may include vitamin B12 and lipotropic ingredients. Patients often ask about them for energy, nutrient support, or metabolism. Bolus does not present these injections as stand-alone weight-loss medications.

Acute illness, abnormal vital signs, fever, active vomiting, certain heart or kidney conditions, fluid restrictions, pregnancy-related considerations, medication interactions, allergies, and other clinical factors may require deferral, modification, or referral.

Bolus Med Spa does not accept, bill, or participate with insurance for IV therapy or any other treatment, procedure, product, or service. HSA and FSA cards are accepted as a form of payment when permitted by the patient’s plan, but Bolus does not determine or guarantee eligibility or reimbursement. We do not complete prior authorizations, insurance claims, appeals, or insurance/HSA/FSA paperwork. When appropriate, we can provide an itemized receipt with applicable ICD-10 and/or CPT coding. Custom letters, emails, forms, medical-necessity documentation, or other administrative correspondence requested for reimbursement or benefit purposes are subject to a $50 administrative fee.

No. Bolus Med Spa does not offer standalone mobile IV therapy, individual house calls, or on-demand IV service. IV therapy is normally provided at our Elkridge location. Off-site IV therapy may be available only as part of select Bolus Group Treatments or organized events. Every participant must still undergo individual clinical assessment, temperature and vital-sign screening before treatment.

Yes. Selected IV therapy may be incorporated into qualifying private group experiences, bachelorette gatherings, fitness events, and other Bolus events when clinically and operationally appropriate. Every treatment guest is screened individually.
