Living it up these days is definitely a little more exhausting than when we had more time to take that much needed power nap. Whether work is stressing you out, or that hangover from last nights phuza Thursday turn-up has got you feeling a little low, there’s something revolutionary waiting for you. Hitting South Africa, Reviv Wellness Clinic is the first of it’s kind on the African continent bringing the trend from cities like New York and Las Vegas, Johannesburg has been blessed to be one of the few exclusive locations to host one of the clinics.
Reviv is basically the energy drink isle in a supermarket, except of course way more healthier. Specialising in the administration of IV bags and Vitamin shots, Reviv clinic is a goto when your body is feeling depleted: “We know that the quickest and most efficient way to restore hydration and energy is through IV infusion and Booster Shots. Our IV Treatments reduce the time consuming recoveries from hangovers, illness, jet lag and general exhaustion. Our Booster Shots provide energy lasting for days. REVIV’s Doctors and trained medical staff take great care to ensure your REVIV experience is quick, efficient and relaxing.”

The GoTrendSA Team decided to give the “Megaboost” treatment a go, dubbed as the Banana Bag because of its yellow colour, it boasts a range of different healthy properties and detoxification qualities such as: improved hydration, replenishes essential minerals & vitamins, boosting of the immune system, delivering an energy boost to the tired body, detoxifies the body and cleanses vital organs!
Now, we know! Everything about a needle going into the body is wrong on so many levels, especially when you’re volunteering. But surprisingly it wasn’t, surprisingly we felt nothing at all, It almost felt like we cheated death a little! Using a surface-spray anaesthetic, the entry of the IV needle is almost painless.
Typical administration of the whole treatment across the range is around 25 minutes, unless you’re going for something like a quick Vitamin B12 or something extravagant like the Royal Flush treatment (which takes around a good 40 minutes).
