What Is Vitamin Infusion Therapy?
Last reviewed: May 2026 · Haute MD Editorial Team
Vitamin infusion therapy delivers high-dose vitamins and micronutrients intravenously for immediate cellular uptake. Common formulations include the Myers' Cocktail (B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium), high-dose vitamin C (immune support and antioxidant), glutathione (skin brightening, detoxification), and NAD+ (energy production and longevity). Clinical evidence is strongest for IV vitamin C in specific medical contexts; other applications are widely used with anecdotal support.

When to seek physician guidance
A board-certified dermatologist or core aesthetic physician with significant experience in this area can evaluate your anatomy, skin quality, and goals to design a personalized plan. The best results combine technical expertise with artistic judgment and a conservative, naturally-balanced approach.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this most relevant for?
Adults seeking to address visible signs of aging, restore tone, improve skin or body quality, or enhance proportions without surgery. A board-certified physician evaluation determines individual candidacy and the most appropriate combination of treatments.
Is it covered by insurance?
Cosmetic aesthetic and wellness treatments are generally not covered by insurance. Some treatments may be covered when performed for specific medical indications. Confirm pricing and any package options with the practice in advance.

Schedule a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or core aesthetic physician. Expect a detailed assessment of your concerns and goals — and a discussion of which treatments, combinations, and sequencing will best achieve a natural, balanced result.
