The treatment
What is the post-surgery healing IV?
A nurse-supervised infusion pairing stem cell–derived signalling factors with antioxidants, amino acids, electrolytes and micronutrients. It is an adjunct to your surgeon’s recovery plan, designed to reduce post-operative inflammation, support collagen formation and restore energy.
For the full regenerative recovery plan, see Post-Surgery Healing; for scars, Scar Repair.
