The American Med Spa Association (AmSpa) announced the release of its IV Therapy Toolkit, which gives medical spas the clinical and legal resources to protect their license and their patients when adding IV therapy to their existing treatments.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Wellness services are gaining momentum in aesthetic practices and are predicted to grow in the next five years, according to AmSpa's 2024 Medical Spa State of the Industry Report. Before adding IV to the menu, however, medical spas need to comply with two additional regulatory agencies; understand proper sourcing, preparation and administration; and develop treatment protocols that prioritize patient safety.
To that end, the American Med Spa Association (AmSpa) is introducing its IV Therapy Toolkit, which contains policies and logs that will help provide detailed guidance on adding IV therapy to medical aesthetic practices, including the following. The IV Therapy Toolkit also includes a 45-minute didactic course providing instruction in the legal components, science and standard procedures of IV therapy.

"The IV Therapy Toolkit represents AmSpa's commitment to keeping the aesthetic industry as safe and successful as possible," says AmSpa founder and CEO, Alex R. Thiersch, JD. "With clinical guidance from our trusted industry partners, we continue to provide medical spa business owners, entrepreneurs and practitioners with the solutions they need to perform responsibly."
It should come as no surprise that IV therapy is an increasingly popular med spa service: overhead costs are low, medical spas already have the staff licensed to perform IV treatments, and patients have a predictable experience to target everything from dehydration to fatigue, muscle weakness, migraine and more. AmSpa's IV Toolkit was developed in conjunction with Taylor Siemens, NP-C, clinical advisor for AmSpa, vice president of operations at Vitalyc Medspa and the founder of My Aesthetic Training.
"Our commitment to the medical aesthetics industry is unwavering," says Taylor Siemens, NP-C, clinical advisor for AmSpa. "The IV Therapy Toolkit is a representation of that commitment, providing practical and invaluable resources tailored to the needs of practice owners and clinicians. Our goal is to ensure that both practitioners and their patients achieve success through safe treatments, optimal outcomes, and increased revenue. With The IV Therapy Toolkit, we are equipping practices with the tools they need to excel and deliver the highest standard of care."
Siemens is a board-certified nurse practitioner recognized by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and is a dynamic force in the world of aesthetic medicine. She seamlessly marries the expertise of a practitioner of medicine with that of a multi-site business operator. Siemens's journey into aesthetic medicine commenced as an operating room nurse specializing in facial plastic surgery. Through her diverse patient interactions, Siemens has honed a profound understanding of the aging process, fueling her skillset in crafting comprehensive, multi-modality treatment solutions that align seamlessly with patients' aesthetic objectives.
She speaks at AmSpa's Medical Spa Boot Camps and the Medical Spa Show.
