The IV section of the Noctis Aurora menu opens with three words, “Recharge from within,” and then lists six bags. They share a needle and a sofa; what separates them is the reason you are booking. This guide goes through them by reason, with the price of each as the spa publishes it.
Start with what dehydration is
Dehydration simply means the body has lost more fluid than it has taken in. Cleveland Clinic lists thirst, dark urine, tiredness, dizziness and headache among the signs, and names heat, exercise, vomiting and alcohol among the causes. MedlinePlus adds that mild cases are usually handled by drinking fluids, and that intravenous fluids are used when a person needs them faster or cannot keep them down.
That is the honest frame for a hydration IV: fluid and electrolytes delivered straight into a vein, rather than a cure for anything. Results vary from person to person, which is exactly what the spa’s own policies say.
The bags, by reason
Run down, flying out, training hard or out in the heat: Basic Hydration, $150. It is the menu’s plain option for dehydration, general exhaustion, pre-travel, heat exposure and before or after a workout.
A night out, before or after: the Myers Cocktail, $200, which the menu calls the “Athlete, Hangover & Sickness cocktail.” The name comes from a Baltimore physician, John Myers, and a 2002 review by Alan Gaby describes the vitamin and mineral mix he used. That review is one author’s clinical account rather than a controlled trial, which is worth knowing before you read bigger claims elsewhere.
A cold going around the office: Immune Detox, $175, the bag for immune support, with vitamins and an essential mineral.
After a race, a tournament or a heavy week of lifting: Recovery & Performance, $225, with fluids, electrolytes, vitamins and amino acids.
Working on weight: the B-Lean Bag, $200, which carries micronutrients, coenzymes and amino acids and is made without stimulants.
Skin, hair and nails: the Anti-Aging & Beauty Bag, $225. The menu’s line for it is “Turn back the clock, one drop at a time,” and it is suggested as a weekly skin-replenishing routine.
Two add-ons worth knowing
If nausea is the problem, anti-nausea medication is a $50 add-on to the IV service, with provider approval. An injection can also ride along with a bag; those start at $50 each and are covered on the vitamin injections page. Upon request, a red light face mask ($25) or an automated foot massage ($25 for 15 minutes) can run while the bag does.
What the visit looks like
Every first-time client completes a virtual consultation first. After that, you request a service, choose the date and time, and enter your address in the note section of the booking summary. The travel fee is included in the price, so a $150 bag costs $150 at your door. The full list, with each bag’s description, is on the IV hydration page, and the rest of the menu is under treatments.
