Med Aesthetics Miami’s IV Bar offers clinically supervised intravenous vitamin and hydration therapy at three South Florida locations, as an elective wellness service rather than a medical necessity.
Every formulation is reviewed during a clinical intake before infusion begins. Book an appointment to start with a clinical intake.
Med Aesthetics Miami’s IV Bar offers eight signature IV formulations plus custom blends and standard add-ons. Each drip is selected and adjusted during clinical intake.
| Dri | Best Fo | Duration | Starting Price |
| Myers’ Cocktail | General wellness, fatigue, stress recovery, immune support | 30–45 min | $229 |
| Miami Heat Recovery | Heat-related dehydration, beach/boating recovery, outdoor activity | 30–45 min | $199 |
| Hangover Recovery | Post-celebration recovery, dehydration, headache, nausea | 30–45 min | $219 |
| Performance & Athletic Recovery | Post-workout recovery, endurance prep, muscle soreness | 45–60 min | $279 |
| Fountain of Youth Beauty Drip | Skin radiance, post-procedure recovery, pre-event prep | 45–60 min | $329 |
| Immune Boost | Pre-travel immune support, post-exposure recovery, seasonal maintenance | 30–45 min | $249 |
| Glutathione Detox Drip | Skin brightening, oxidative stress support | 30–45 min | $299 |
| Liquilift All-in-One Wellness | Comprehensive support, monthly maintenance, multi-symptom presentations | 60–75 min | $349 |
First-time patients should add 15 to 20 minutes for the initial clinical intake.
Custom blends and add-ons — including NAD+ infusion, extra glutathione or vitamin C, Toradol, Zofran, a biotin booster, and B12 injection — are available and priced individually at intake; add-ons requiring medical clearance, such as Toradol and Zofran, are confirmed for eligibility during intake before administration.
The clinical intake is the step that determines which formulation, if any, a patient receives — it isn’t a formality before a predetermined drip. The clinical team reviews the patient’s presenting symptoms, relevant medical history, and current medications, then screens against the contraindications listed below for the formulation being considered.
For add-ons like Toradol or Zofran, intake also checks for the specific factors that would make either one inappropriate for that patient.
IV therapy is an elective option some patients choose in situations where they’re interested in faster or more direct nutrient delivery than oral intake provides — not a treatment that routine dehydration or fatigue requires. The clinical intake evaluates whether it’s an appropriate fit for the individual.
Heat exposure and active days. Per the National Weather Service Miami office, South Florida’s rainy season runs May 15 through October 15, bringing sustained high heat and humidity.
Patients who spend extended time outdoors during this period sometimes seek IV hydration as a faster option than drinking fluids alone, though oral hydration remains adequate for most people in routine situations.
Patients who train outdoors, work outdoor jobs, spend regular time on the water, or experience repeated heat exposure are common candidates for the Miami Heat Recovery drip as an elective choice.
Post-celebration recovery. Alcohol causes fluid loss, and B-vitamin depletion is commonly discussed among the factors involved in hangover symptoms, alongside others.
IV saline delivers fluids directly, and B-complex supplies B vitamins. Toradol (for inflammation-driven headache) and Zofran (for nausea) are available as add-ons at Med Aesthetics Miami, subject to intake clearance — Toradol is not given to patients with active stomach ulcers, among other factors the clinical team screens for at intake.
This is offered as an elective comfort option; oral fluids and rest remain the standard first approach for most people.
Athletic recovery and performance preparation. Amino acids, magnesium, and electrolytes can be administered intravenously as an alternative to oral supplementation.
Endurance athletes, fitness professionals, and high-output patients sometimes use IV therapy for post-event recovery and pre-event preparation as part of a broader routine, determined individually with the clinical team.
Documented nutrient deficiencies and malabsorption. Patients with malabsorption conditions — including gastrointestinal disorders affecting oral nutrient uptake — are a population for whom a clinician might consider IV delivery, since oral absorption is specifically impaired.
Per research from the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, IV vitamin C achieves plasma concentrations 70 to 100 times higher than the maximum achievable through oral dosing.
Pre-event and wellness maintenance. Weddings, photo shoots, business travel, and sustained high-output periods are common pre-event use cases patients raise at consultation.
Monthly wellness maintenance patients typically use the Myers’ Cocktail, Immune Boost, or Liquilift as part of a structured routine, coordinated through the practice’s wellness consultation program.
IV therapy is not appropriate for every patient, and candidacy varies by formulation. Medical clearance is required before treatment for patients with:
Per Med Aesthetics Miami’s own clinical protocol, glutathione-containing formulations (the Beauty Drip and Glutathione Detox Drip) require concurrent vitamin C administration and aren’t given to patients with a sulfite allergy — this is the practice’s specific protocol, not a universal medical rule for glutathione infusions generally.
The clinical intake before every session screens for the relevant contraindications before finalizing a formulation.
Book a consultation to discuss whether IV therapy fits an individual health profile and goals.
Per the National Weather Service Miami-South Florida office, the region’s wet season runs from May 15 through October 15, with sustained high heat and humidity throughout.
Sweat losses during this period increase the demand for sodium, potassium, and magnesium, which most people adequately replace by drinking fluids and eating normally.
Some patients choose IV hydration during heavy activity or extended heat exposure as a faster option; it isn’t a required substitute for routine oral hydration. The IV therapy benefits page covers the regional physiology in more detail.
The Miami Heat Recovery drip uses a normal saline or Lactated Ringer’s base, with potassium, magnesium, sodium, and B-complex added.
Lactated Ringer’s solution has an electrolyte composition closer to human plasma than standard normal saline — a compositional fact, not itself a statement about which base is clinically preferred for any given patient, which the clinical team determines individually at intake.
Patients who regularly boat, train outdoors, work in South Florida heat, or spend extended time at the beach are common candidates for the Miami Heat Recovery drip. The IV cocktails guide page breaks down how specific formulations are built.
Pricing for each drip is listed in the table above, ranging from $199 for the Miami Heat Recovery drip to $349 for the Liquilift All-in-One formula, based on session durations of 30 to 75 minutes. Custom blends and add-ons are priced individually at intake.
IV therapy is considered elective wellness care and is generally not covered by health insurance in Florida.
Per IRS Publication 502, medical expenses eligible for HSA and FSA reimbursement must be primarily for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease rather than merely beneficial to general health — so HSA and FSA funds may apply to IV therapy with a Letter of Medical Necessity from a licensed physician for a specific documented condition, though eligibility varies by plan administrator. CareCredit financing is accepted at all three locations.

Is IV therapy medically necessary, or is it elective?
IV therapy at Med Aesthetics Miami is offered as an elective wellness service, not a substitute for oral hydration in routine situations. The clinical intake evaluates each patient’s presentation and determines whether IV therapy is an appropriate option for their goals.
Which IV drip is chosen for Miami heat and activity?
The Miami Heat Recovery drip uses a saline or Lactated Ringer’s base with added potassium, magnesium, and sodium, adjusted at intake to the patient’s presentation. It’s an elective option that some patients choose during periods of heavy heat exposure or activity, alongside regular fluid intake.
How much does IV therapy cost in Miami?
IV therapy at Med Aesthetics Miami starts at $199 for the Miami Heat Recovery drip and ranges to $349 for the Liquilift, based on session length. Standard wellness drips, including Myers’ Cocktail and Immune Boost, run $219 to $249, with custom blends priced at consultation.
Is IV therapy an option for hangover recovery?
Some patients choose IV saline and B-complex as an elective comfort option after a night out, since alcohol causes fluid loss and B-vitamin depletion is commonly discussed among the factors involved in hangover symptoms. Toradol and Zofran are available as add-ons, subject to intake clearance.
What is in a Myers’ Cocktail, and who considers one?
The Myers’ Cocktail contains magnesium, calcium, B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B12), and high-dose vitamin C in a sterile saline base, a formulation originally developed by Baltimore physician Dr. John Myers. Clinical intake determines candidacy and adjusts dosing.
What happens during the clinical intake?
The clinical team reviews presenting symptoms, medical history, and current medications, then screens for contraindications to the formulation being considered. This is Med Aesthetics Miami’s own process — the intake, not the menu selection, determines the final formulation.
How long does an IV drip session take?
Basic formulations — Myers’ Cocktail, Heat Recovery, Hangover Recovery, Immune Boost, and Glutathione Detox — run 30 to 45 minutes. Performance and Beauty Drip sessions run 45 to 60 minutes. The Liquilift runs 60 to 75 minutes. First-time patients should add 15 to 20 minutes for intake.
Where can I get an IV drip in Coral Gables, Aventura, or Fort Lauderdale?
Med Aesthetics Miami’s IV Bar operates in Coral Gables, Aventura, and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, using the same clinical intake process at each. Location-specific booking is available on the appointments page for each center.
Are IV drips covered by insurance or HSA/FSA in Florida?
Elective wellness IV drips are generally not covered by health insurance in Florida. Per IRS Publication 502, HSA and FSA funds may apply with a Letter of Medical Necessity from a licensed physician for a specific condition, though eligibility varies by plan administrator.
Who should not get IV therapy?
Candidacy varies by formulation. Patients with chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, electrolyte disorders, G6PD deficiency, or a sulfite allergy (for glutathione drips, per the practice’s own protocol), and patients who are pregnant or taking interacting medications, need medical clearance first.
What is the IV Bar membership program?
Membership is month-to-month with three tiers: Hydration ($179/month, one basic drip plus 15% off), Wellness ($249/month, one signature drip plus 20% off), and Premium ($349/month, one premium drip plus 25% off additional sessions and add-ons).
Med Aesthetics Miami’s IV Bar offers clinically supervised, elective IV wellness therapy across eight signature drips, running 30 to 75 minutes depending on formulation.
