These locations, according to the company’s Chief Development Officer Ben Crosbie, will likely be scattered throughout Bexar County. The local expansion is part of a larger statewide initiative that also includes plans to open as many as 10 clinics in the Houston area. “Now more than ever, people are starting to recognize the power of intravenous therapies to maintain their best health and are seeking new ways to complement conventional treatment options,” notes Crosbie. "We are focused on helping people obtain their best health using advances in intravenous therapies. Our dedication to cutting edge treatments, commitment to community, and the excellence of our experts lead our drive in the industry.” ## Iv therapy benefits Intravenous therapy, which is also known as IV therapy, is the administering of nutrients and hydration directly into the bloodstream for immediate absorption and use by the body. It is the fastest way to deliver nutrients throughout the body, because it bypasses the digestive system and goes directly into the organs, resulting in a 90-100% absorption rate. Some of its celebrity proponents? Madonna, Adele Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, Cindy Crawford, Rihanna and Brad Pitt, among countless others. While the exact reason each one uses IV vitamin therapy may be different, the underlying cause is the same: they want to tap into the extraordinary health benefits it offers. THE DRIPBaR leverages these benefits and provides IV therapies that are designed to do everything from slowing the signs of aging to reducing brain fog and boosting energy. At THE DRIPBaR, clients have 18 different IV lifestyle or health-support drips to choose from, including the “Flu Fighter” that can help the common cold and High C, which is typically for current or former cancer patients. For those who don’t have time for a full vitamin infusion but want the benefit, clients can choose one of seven “quick shots” that Crosbie says gives the body an added boost. Each session ranges in price from about $100 to $200 and people are sitting in the chair anywhere from 25 to 40 minutes. “The quality and range of our offerings, and the consistent excellence of our services, will distinguish us as the market grows,” said Crosbie. “COVID-19 has created a new understanding in people that they need to be as healthy as they can be. Healthcare is no longer a passive activity, where people wait for an illness to strike and then react to it. More than ever people want to be in control of their own health, they want to be proactive. They want non-drug therapies to support the best health. They want what THE DRIPBaR has to offer and we are excited to offer our services.” ## Entities - Franchising.com (publication) - unit expansion (topic) - location expansion (topic) - Beauty & Wellness (sector) - houston (location) - San Antonio (location) - iv therapy (topic) - The DRIPBaR (company) - Chrissy Teigen (person) --- Originally reported by Franchising.com (https://www.franchising.com/news/20201119_as_iv_therapy_soars_in_popularity_the_dripbar_eyes_san_antonio_for_expansio.html).
