Yes. In order to have an iron infusion at In My Skin, you must be scripted by your GP following a diagnoses of iron deficiency. Once you fill your script, bring the iron to your appointment and one of our experienced nurses will do the rest!

Iron is an essential mineral and adequate levels are required for the normal production of haemoglobin and red blood cells, which carry oxygen in the blood. Iron deficiency can cause lethargy, fatigue and in more severe cases, anaemia which can cause a pale complexion, dizziness, shortness of breath and a reduced capacity for exercise. In pregnancy, iron deficiency can cause restricted foetal growth.

In general, side effects from iron infusions are uncommon and most people will not experience any. When side effects do occur, they are typically transient and mild and may include nausea, dizziness, headaches, stomach upset, low phosphate levels & muscle or joint aches or pains. There may be some irritation at the cannula site for a number of days following the infusion.

We charge $190 for all iron infusions.

The best thing you can do before an infusion is drink lots of water. When the body is properly hydrated, veins become more dilated. Staying hydrated will help our nurses nail that IV insertion on the first try!

All IV infusions and vitamin injections are administered our experienced nurses: Letitia, Michaela and Jess. Get to know them on the "Our Team" page.
