I had such a great vacation at the beach. Sun and sand all day long, and lots of swimming and canoeing, too. Only problem is that I got a very bad sunburn, which damaged my skin. IV Hydration was the antidote and completely painless.
How does Sunburn IV drip work?
Whether or not you’ve been using sunscreen with SPF, you can still get an unpleasant sunburn if you’re exposed to intense sunrays, especially between 10 am and 3 pm when UV radiation levels reach their peak. You can get a sunburn not only at the beach but also during any outdoor activity. Although a sunburn will most likely go away on its own, the healing process can take up to a week and can be accompanied by fever, itchy skin, irritation, pain, and discomfort. Sunburns can also cause dehydration and dehydration-related complications such as headache, fatigue, and nausea.
Our Sunburn IV treatment is designed to relieve the discomfort caused by sunburns and help you have an easier
and faster recovery with the benefits listed below.
The most common symptom of a sunburn is changes in the texture, color, and appearance of the skin due to skin damage caused by UV radiation. This can occur as mild irritation and inflammation, as well as severe blistering, bumps, and peeling of the skin. What cannot be seen with the naked eye is the damage to the DNA of skin cells caused by sunburns which can lead to skin cancer and premature aging.
The ingredients in our IV drip will not only speed up the replacement of damaged skin cells with new ones (with the help of zinc), but will also improve skin texture and color (vitamin B complex), reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation (glutathione), repair cells, and prevent further damage to your cells’ DNA from UV-generated free radicals (vitamin C and glutathione). All of these benefits will reduce the risk of long-term consequences from having a sunburn.
In response to UV radiation, our immune system launches many protective processes that lead to skin inflammation. Our immune systems increase the blood flow to the affected areas of our skin, which actually results in local redness, tenderness, irritation, swelling, and warmth. In other words, a sunburn.
Our IV procedure helps to supply your body with specific vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that regulate the inflammatory process and provide quick relief from inflammation-related symptoms.
As mentioned above, exposure to UV rays causes the immune system to increase blood flow to your damaged skin, thereby promoting tissue healing and preventing further infection. However, increased blood flow and swelling caused by inflammation puts pressure on the underlying nerves, causing skin pain and discomfort. Depending on the severity of your sunburn, the pain can range from mild discomfort to an intense pain that can last up to 48 hours.
The anti-inflammatory properties of the zinc, vitamin C, and glutathione contained in our Sunburn IV drip will provide you with rapid relief from inflammation and thereby greatly reduce your pain and discomfort from your sunburn.
One of the main ways to prevent sunburn symptoms is by ensuring your body is adequately hydrated. Dehydration usually occurs due to inflammation from the burn and increased evaporation from being in the sun too long. Dehydration, in turn, increases skin dryness, thereby intensifying itching, discomfort, and skin tightness. It also leads to general fatigue, weakness, and headaches. Additionally, adequate hydration is essential to ensure proper healing of damaged skin and to promote your overall recovery.
Our Sunburn IV drip contains a liter of IV fluid (saline) that will be delivered directly into your bloodstream to relieve sunburn symptoms, provide instant hydration, replenish electrolytes, and speed up the healing process.
Ingredients of Sunburn IV Drip
Having a sunburn can be a stressful experience. Your skin has been damaged by intense sun exposure, and your body’s systems must work hard to repair the damage and help you recover. This will require adequate fluids, vitamins, and minerals, which will not only improve the overall functioning of your body but will also target the sunburn symptoms and treat them accordingly.
The ingredients in the Sunburn IV drip have been specially selected to address the most common sunburn symptoms, such as dehydration, skin damage, irritation, pain, and discomfort.
Here's how they work:
Normal saline (physiological saline) is the IV fluid found in our Sunburn IV drip. It is a mixture of water and salt that blends perfectly with our bodies’ fluids and is widely used in medical settings. In addition to being an excellent solvent for delivering medications and vitamins, it is recognized as one of the most effective, safest, and fastest ways to prevent or treat dehydration, which is a common problem with sunburns.
That’s why we’ve included normal saline to help quickly hydrate the body, replace lost fluids, and restore electrolyte imbalances caused by your sunburn.
The B complex vitamins, namely B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, and B9, have a long list of benefits for our overall health and are necessary to maintain many of our bodies’ functions. When it comes to sunburn, B vitamins help to:
- Enhance skin health by improving skin texture and tone (B3), maintain skin moisture (B5 and B7), and repair damaged skin tissue and accelerate skin recovery (B2).
- Promote the production and supply of energy to the cells, helping the body recover from fatigue and the general weakness caused by a sunburn.
- Improve the overall functioning of the body, which will indirectly lead to faster recovery.
In other words, IV administration of B vitamins provides a rapid delivery of these much-needed nutrients to your body, accelerating the recovery of your skin while also increasing the energy supply to your body’s biological systems that are working hard to ensure a quick recovery.
Vitamin C has long been known for its vital importance for many of our bodies’ functions and its health benefits. In recent years, it has also been considered an effective nutrient for maintaining and improving skin health and overall appearance. Due to its wide range of beneficial properties, vitamin C is also very helpful while recovering from a sunburn. Here’s how:
- Has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce pain, redness, swelling, and skin irritation caused by sunburns.
- Supports the immune system, which is actively involved in the repair and regeneration of damaged skin, as well as in the prevention of potential skin infections.
- Promotes the production of collagen, which is necessary for the healing and restoration of sun-damaged skin tissue.
- Has antioxidant properties that help protect skin cells from oxidative damage caused by UV radiation, thereby speeding up recovery and preventing the long-term effects of a sunburn, including skin cancer and premature aging.
- As a bonus, it helps improve your mood, which can be affected by the unpleasant symptoms of a sunburn.
Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants naturally produced in our bodies. It is involved in various functions of the body, such as supporting the immune system, cleansing the body of toxins, and improving metabolism and cellular health. It is also widely used to treat sunburns due to the following benefits:
- Thanks to its powerful antioxidant properties, glutathione protects skin cells from UV-induced skin damage and promotes further repair of these cells.
- Suppresses the creation of inflammatory molecules, thereby reducing sunburn-induced inflammation, pain, and discomfort.
Prevents and alleviates hyperpigmentation and dark spots caused by sunburns by inhibiting melanin production, the substance responsible for skin pigmentation.
Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in the growth, division, and maintenance of our bodies’ cells, including our skin cells. Zinc helps by replacing damaged skin cells with healthy ones. It also promotes collagen synthesis, which helps the skin heal and gives it structure and strength. In addition, zinc enhances immune function, helping to prevent and fight skin infections and speed up the healing process.

A sunburn is our body’s protective reaction to the harmful effects of UV radiation. Sunburnsoccur due to inflammation that is caused by our immune system in response to radiation-induced skin damage. This results in short-term redness, irritation, pain, swelling, and blistering.
Some people tan and others get sunburned (mostly fair-skinned people), but both of these conditions indicate skin damage and place a significant stress on the body.
In addition to the short-term symptoms mentioned above,a sunburn can have long-term effects, such as premature aging and skin cancer. Moreover, having five or more sunburns in your life has been shown to double your risk of developing melanoma (the deadliest type of skin cancer).
Therefore, it is extremely important to take the proper UV safety precautions when you are exposed to UV radiation.
This IV treatment is a great option for anyone who suffers from the discomfort of sunburn and wants quick relief from unpleasant symptoms while providing the body with essential nutrients. However, some people will benefit more from this procedure. Such as:
- People with severe sunburns (having any of the following symptoms: skin that is painful, itchy, or hot to the touch, fluid-filled blisters, fever, fatigue, or nausea).
- Those with dehydration (symptoms include fatigue, thirst, headache, dizziness, and dark urine).
- Those who need to quickly achieve smooth, healthy skin with fewer dark spots and pigmentation (for example, if you have an important event or need to have a perfect appearance for personal or professional reasons).
All components of the Sunburn IV drip are naturally present in our bodies, so it is generally a safe and effective procedure with no side effects for most patients.
However, in rare cases, personal sensitivity to some components of the drip may occur, which will occur in the form of allergic reactions, such as:
- Swelling of face and throat.
- Rashes.
- Hives.
- Irritation and itching of the injection site.
In any case, before the actual procedure, our certified medical staff will ask you about any allergies or chronic conditions you may have and any medications you are currently taking. They will also check your blood pressure and body temperature and ask you to fill out a medical form. This will allow the doctor to check your personal medical information and decide whether or not you should have the procedure.
