IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and hydration directly into your bloodstream — bypassing the digestive system for near-complete absorption. But the formulation you choose makes all the difference between a general top-up and a targeted wellness intervention.
Different drip types are designed around specific goals: rehydrating after illness, boosting immunity before travel, improving skin radiance, accelerating post-procedure recovery, or fighting chronic fatigue. Understanding what each formulation contains — and why — helps you get the most from every session.
At Mirror Mirror Aesthetics, we offer a range of IV therapy formulations tailored to individual needs. Every drip is administered by a registered nurse in a clinical setting using TGA-compliant ingredients.
Here is a breakdown of the most popular IV drip formulations and what each one targets:
| Drip Type | Primary Goal | Key Ingredients | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydration | Fluid & electrolyte replenishment | Saline, electrolytes, magnesium | 30–45 min |
| Immunity | Immune system support | High-dose vitamin C, zinc, B vitamins | 45–60 min |
| Beauty / Glow | Skin, hair & nail health | Glutathione, biotin, vitamin C | 45–60 min |
| Recovery | Post-exercise or post-procedure healing | Amino acids, B vitamins, anti-inflammatories | 45–60 min |
| Energy / B12 | Fatigue, brain fog, motivation | Vitamin B12, B-complex, magnesium | 30–45 min |
| Myers' Cocktail | Comprehensive wellness boost | Vitamin C, B-complex, magnesium, calcium | 45–60 min |
The foundation of IV therapy. Hydration drips replenish fluids and electrolytes rapidly — far more effectively than drinking water alone. When you are dehydrated, everything in your body works less efficiently, including your skin, energy levels, and cognitive function.
These drips are ideal after illness, travel, heavy exercise, or simply when you are feeling run down. If you are unsure where to start, hydration is almost always a smart first choice.
Formulated to support your body's natural defences. High-dose vitamin C is the cornerstone, supported by zinc and B vitamins. These drips are popular during winter, before overseas travel, or whenever you feel something coming on. Consistent immune support can reduce the severity and duration of common illnesses.
Specifically targets skin, hair, and nail health. The star ingredient is glutathione — a powerful antioxidant that supports skin brightness and fights oxidative damage. Combined with biotin and vitamin C, these drips work from the inside out. They will not replace your skincare routine, but they will give it a serious boost.
Tip: Beauty drips pair beautifully with skin booster treatments. The IV delivers nutrients internally while skin boosters hydrate from the surface — a powerful combination for radiant, glass-like skin.
Designed for post-exercise, post-event, or post-procedure support. These drips combine hydration with anti-inflammatory nutrients, amino acids, and B vitamins to help your body bounce back faster. Increasingly popular among clients recovering from cosmetic treatments who want to optimise their healing.
Vitamin B12 plays a critical role in energy production, nerve function, and red blood cell formation. If you are consistently tired despite adequate sleep, a B12 infusion can provide noticeable relief — often within hours. This formulation also targets brain fog and low motivation, common complaints in our fast-paced world.
The original IV wellness formula, developed by Dr. John Myers. This comprehensive blend combines vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, magnesium, and calcium for broad-spectrum wellness support. It is an excellent choice if you are looking for a general health boost without targeting a specific concern.
All formulations are customisable. During your consultation, Cameron will assess your health history and goals to recommend the ideal combination of ingredients — or adjust a standard formulation to better suit your needs.

There is no guesswork involved. Whether this is your first visit to an aesthetics clinic or you are a regular client adding IV therapy to your routine, the process is straightforward and comfortable.
Your IV therapy session at Mirror Mirror Aesthetics is designed to be relaxing and comfortable. Here is what happens:
Many clients report feeling more hydrated and energised within hours. The benefits of vitamin and nutrient infusions build over the following days, with skin-related improvements often noticed within one to two weeks of consistent sessions.
Pro tip: Eat a light meal before your session and stay well hydrated in the hours leading up to your appointment. This makes cannulation easier and helps your body process the nutrients more efficiently.
One of the advantages of IV therapy at Mirror Mirror is the ability to customise your formulation. Many clients benefit from combining elements of different drip types. For example:
Your treatment plan can also evolve over time. As your needs change — whether seasonally, after a procedure, or as part of a long-term wellness strategy — your formulation adapts with you.
