Area residents are embracing something that celebrities and pro athletes have already known about that is now offered locally at the IV Lounge at Lavish Style Studios, where it’s seen as a necessity rather than a luxury.
The IV Lounge is offering IVs of B Complex, C and glutathione. They also have injections of vitamin B complex, B12, C, Lysine, melt away and glutathione. Lange said they hope to add vitamin D, too.
The lounge and studio at 4915 Hedgewood in Midland opened in 2020, offering hair and nail needs. It is now offers IV Therapy as of Feb. 14. Owner Michelle Lange said from the beginning, she was looking to add something unique and kept her mind open to what that would be.
After Lange was diagnosed with breast cancer, she found herself on a wholistic health journey. That’s when she learned about the IV approach to treatment. Such treatments helped with immune system building and detoxification along with other benefits. She was driving from Midland to Bloomfield Hills and Lapeer for treatment.
This led Lange to decide on adding IV therapy to the studio. After considering several nurses, she decided on registered nurse Holly Thielen.
Now the studio is complete, with seven hair stylists, a nail technician and an RN.
The reception has been very positive, and Lange is considering bringing on another nurse as the demand grows.
“It’s been awesome,” Lange said. “It’s something new to the area that has been around for a while.”
Midlander Kati Yorks was getting her second IV treatment Wednesday.
“I’m doing it for the B12 and B Complex,” Yorks said of getting the IV and the injection. Clients can receive an IV and/or an injection. The injection goes into the muscle and the IV goes directly into the blood stream.
In addition, Yorks, a runner, said she will do these treatments before a marathon or triathlon to help with hydration and to keep her cells healthy.
“It helps rebuild muscle and helps from them breaking down,” Thielen said.
Thielen said from what people are telling her when she checks on them after the treatment, it is helping. She said one woman told her that a pain in her kidney has gone away after the treatment.
“It offers a lot of healthy things,” Thielen said of both the IV and the injections.
The IV Lounge is open from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday and Wednesday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Through March the IV Lounge at Lavish Style Studios is offering a special of buy four treatments and get one free. Call (810) 516-1481 for more information.
