Dr. Tovmassian and Dr. Derhartunian use a patient-centered approach to customize weight loss treatments using IV vitamin infusions, along with prescription medications and lifestyle changes. Intravenous vitamin infusions are liquid-based vitamin blends that are administered straight into the body through an IV drip. Many patients choose this form of delivery instead of taking vitamins orally, to ensure that the vitamins are being absorbed into their system. IV vitamin infusions boost the immune system and correct nutritional deficiencies. The practice offers both the weight loss IV injection and IV drip, which utilize Lipotropic, a fat metabolizing amino acid.
