All You Need To Know About Getting Detox IV Drips in Nigeria

Someone hit us up saying that she had seen her favourite actress getting a Detox IV Drip on social media. The actress claimed that it was a beauty treatment and it got her wondering: 

• What exactly is a Detox IV Drip?

• How does it work?

• Should I get one too?

• And how much does it cost? 

Now, at HueBeautyGlam, we have some clients who are currently on our Detox IV Drips, while others are making enquiries at the moment. So, we’ve decided to pull back the curtains and let you in on EVERYTHING you need to know about getting Detox IV Drips in Nigeria. 

The good, the bad and the ugly. We won’t gatekeep a single thing. 

What Exactly Are Detox IV Drips?

Detox IV Drips are intravenous treatments that deliver vitamins and other nutrients DIRECTLY into your blood stream. So instead of taking vitamins orally and waiting for your digestive system to process them, a detox IV drip goes directly into your bloodstream through a small tube inserted into your vein. 

“Why can’t I just take a pill?”— a question we get asked all the time. 

When you swallow a pill, your body doesn’t get 100% of all the nutrients, but when given intravenously, it bypasses your digestive system so your body has no choice but to absorb 100% of the nutrients. And that’s why you get faster results compared to oral supplements.

What's Actually Inside a Detox IV Drip?

It depends. Not all Detox IV drips contain the same things.  Ideally, you would speak to a professional, share your concerns, worries and then they’ll give you a custom detox IV drip. 

However, a standard detox formulation often contains:

1. Electrolytes which help cellular function and hydration.
2. B-Complex Vitamins that support your metabolism.
3. Vitamin C — an antioxidant that supports your immune system.
4. Glutathione — another antioxidant that flushes toxins from your liver.
5. Magnesium which helps with muscle relaxation and reduces inflammation.
6. Amino Acids which is great for protein synthesis and cellular repair.

Benefits of a Detox IV Drip

We’re going to be honest about what detox IV drips can and can’t do. Shall we? 

1.It can replenish lost fluids fast and restore electrolyte balance. But it won’t replace your daily water intake or fix chronic dehydration if you’re not drinking enough fluids.

2. It can support your liver in processing and flushing out toxins. But it can’t “wash your liver clean” or reverse the effects of long-term alcohol or drug use. Your liver already detoxes naturally; the drip just helps it work more efficiently. 

3. Because it’s rich in B vitamins, electrolytes, and amino acids, it can help recharge your body, improve mental focus, and reduce fatigue. But it isn’t a substitute for sleep, food, or rest.

4. When combined with antioxidants like glutathione and Vitamin C, Detox IV Drips can brighten your complexion, but it won’t permanently lighten your skin tone or erase pigmentation issues. To lighten your skin, consider getting a glutathione IV Drip treatment instead.

What to Expect During a Detox IV Drip Session

Let's walk you through a standard Detox IV Drip  experience:

Step 2: While you’re seated (or perhaps laying down) they'll insert a small needle into your vein (usually in your arm). You'll feel a quick pinch, then the needle is removed and a thin plastic tube remains.

Step 3: You’ll get the IV drip for about 30-60 minutes. It’ll feel like any regular IV. 

Step 4: The tube is removed, a bandage is applied, and you can resume normal activities immediately. 

Where To Get Detox IV Drips in Nigeria

How Often Should I Get Detox IV Drips?

It depends. Most of our clients feel better and lighter within a few hours. However, for long-lasting and prominent results, we recommend a series of sessions over a few weeks. 

Here’s why:

One session will not undo a terrible diet or eliminate years of poor lifestyle choices. Your liver, kidneys, lungs, and skin are all working 24/7 to eliminate toxins without any help. 

The point of more sessions is only to assist your organs to function better. That’s all. 

But remember: IV drips should not replace a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition, hydration, and exercise.
