The third Georgia location of Activate IV and Cryotherapy, a wellness and recovery spa, opened recently at the Providence Square Shopping Center in East Cobb.
It’s a membership-based business for patients who want to treat a variety of ailments with a combination of non-medical treatments, including hydration, compression, vitamin infusion and cryotherapy, which uses a combination of heat and cold elements to reduce body flab.
There’s a medical doctor who oversees the operations, and there’s either a trained paramedic or a registered nurse on duty at all times.
A ribbon-cutting took place last week, and general manager Hope Smith said a soft opening has been underway for a couple of weeks.
She said patients don’t need a doctor’s referral and most insurance does not cover the services provided.
Activate IV’s IV Hydration Therapy includes a variety of intravenous drips to introduce electrolytes, minerals and amino acids directly into the body, as well as oxygen.
Other drips treat the flu, migraines, athletic ailments, menstrual issues and even hangovers.
In addition to a cryo room, Activate IV has a cryo booth with a temperature of -124 Fahrenheit. Patients can stay inside for up to four minutes.
“It helps reduce inflammation, gives you energy, helps you sleep better and address weight gain and pain,” Smith said. “I’ve lost five pounds in a week.”
A red light room offers red light therapy, and Smith said patients use it for athletic injury recovery and as a sleeping aid, among other benefits, including reduced swelling and inflammation and increased collagen production.
Those sessions last 10 minutes, and there’s a separate membership for that.
Lori Rambo, who was a paramedic in the city of Atlanta and worked at Grady Memorial Hospital, is one of the certified staff members at the East Cobb location.
She said patients must fill out a form indicating that they haven’t had a seizure or major heart issues in the last six months.
Activate IV and Cryotherapy is open at 4101 Roswell Road, Suite 310, from Monday-Thursday 10-7, Friday-Saturday from 10-4 and Sunday from 12-4. Phone: 678-398-9499.
