Our wellness and advanced treatment menu goes beyond cosmetic enhancement. These are clinically grounded procedures designed to nourish your body from the inside, stimulate your skin's own regenerative processes, and support your long-term health, all delivered under pharmacy-led clinical governance.
Every treatment begins with a one-to-one consultation to assess your suitability, identify the right protocol for your needs, and ensure fully informed consent before anything begins.
IV Vitamin Therapy
Intravenous vitamin drips deliver nutrients directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for up to 90% absorption, compared to roughly 20% through oral supplements. Our practitioner carries out a holistic assessment before every infusion to identify any imbalances and tailor the treatment to your needs.
Anti-Ageing Drip
A potent blend of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals formulated to slow visible ageing, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and support collagen production from within.
Detox Drip
Supports your liver and kidneys in flushing out toxins. Ideal after periods of poor diet, illness, or high stress when your body needs a reset.
Fitness Drip
Engineered for active lifestyles. Replenishes electrolytes, supports muscle recovery, and restores energy levels after intense training or competition.
Myers Cocktail
The gold standard of IV therapy. A balanced infusion of magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C, used to treat fatigue, migraines, muscle spasm, and general malaise.
High Dose Vitamin C
A powerful antioxidant infusion that neutralises free radicals, supports collagen synthesis, brightens the skin, and strengthens immune defences.
Hair Health Drip
Nourishes hair follicles from within with biotin, zinc, and a targeted vitamin complex. Supports stronger, healthier hair growth and helps combat thinning.
Multivitamin Drip
A comprehensive infusion delivering a broad spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals. The everyday wellness top-up for maintaining optimal nutrient levels.
Skinny Drip
Formulated to support fat metabolism and energy production. Combines lipotropic compounds with B vitamins to complement a healthy diet and active lifestyle.
Snow White Brightening Drip
A skin-brightening infusion using glutathione and vitamin C to reduce oxidative stress, even skin tone, and restore a natural, luminous complexion.
Hangover Drip
Rapidly rehydrates, restores electrolyte balance, and settles nausea after a heavy night. One of our most popular weekend treatments for fast recovery.
Vitamin IM Injections
Intramuscular vitamin injections bypass the digestive tract for fast, reliable absorption, ideal for patients who do not respond well to oral supplements or who need a quick boost. Each treatment begins with a one-to-one assessment to determine the right vitamin and dose for you.
Vitamin B12
Essential for red blood cell formation, neurological function, and energy metabolism. Deficiency is common, particularly among vegetarians, over-50s, and those with gastrointestinal conditions. Available as Hydroxocobalamin (longer half-life) or Methylcobalamin (faster action).
Vitamin D
The "sunshine vitamin", up to 60% of the UK population has lower-than-recommended levels. Supports immune function, bone and muscle health, mood stability, and healing after aesthetic procedures.
Vitamin C
A powerful antioxidant that brightens skin, supports collagen synthesis, neutralises free radicals from UV and pollution, and enhances results from treatments like microneedling and chemical peels.
Biotin (Vitamin B7)
Supports keratin production for stronger hair, healthier nails, and improved skin quality. A popular wellness add-on for patients seeking a non-surgical boost to their appearance and vitality.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP harnesses your body's own regenerative power. A small blood sample is drawn, processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and then precisely injected into the treatment area. Growth factors within the plasma stimulate collagen production, accelerate healing, and promote cellular renewal, delivering natural, long-lasting results.
Vampire Facial
PRP combined with microneedling to rejuvenate the skin from within. Stimulates collagen, improves texture, reduces acne scarring, and restores a youthful glow using your own growth factors.
PRP Hands
Targets visible ageing on the hands, crepey skin, volume loss, and prominent veins. PRP stimulates tissue regeneration for smoother, more youthful-looking hands.
PRP Hair Restoration
Concentrated growth factors are injected into the scalp to slow hair thinning, stimulate new follicle growth, and support recovery after hair transplantation. Suitable for both men and women.
Natural Rejuvenation Using Your Own Blood
Because PRP uses your own plasma, allergic reactions are exceptionally rare. A typical course consists of three treatments spaced one month apart, followed by maintenance every six months. Results develop over one to three months and can last up to 16 months.
Mild swelling, redness, and bruising are normal and resolve within a few days. Avoid anti-inflammatory medications for 24 hours after treatment, as these can dampen the platelet-driven healing response.
Microneedling
Microneedling creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering your body's natural wound-healing response. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, improves skin texture and tone, reduces scarring, and enhances the penetration of active skincare ingredients. Results build with each session.
Microneedling Treatments & Prices
Choose from face, neck, or combined treatments. Course pricing offers a saving over individual sessions, ideal for patients committed to a structured skin improvement programme.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use controlled acid solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin, revealing fresher, brighter skin beneath. The depth of the peel is tailored to your skin concern, from mild dullness and congestion through to deeper pigmentation, scarring, and age-related texture changes.
Superficial Peel
Targets the outermost layer of the skin. Ideal for mild dullness, surface congestion, and early signs of uneven tone. Minimal peeling, quick recovery. A great entry point for first-time peel patients.
Medium Peel
Penetrates deeper to target moderate pigmentation, fine lines, sun damage, and acne scarring. Expect visible peeling for several days as the skin renews beneath the surface.
Deep Peel
The most intensive option, targeting deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, and pronounced textural concerns. Requires careful aftercare and strict sun protection. Your practitioner will assess suitability.
Why a Pharmacy-Led Clinic Matters for Wellness Treatments
IV therapy, IM injections, and PRP all involve intravenous or intramuscular delivery, routes of administration that pharmacists are trained to understand at a molecular level. Our pharmacy-led model means that drug interactions, contraindications, and dosing protocols are assessed with the same rigour we apply to dispensing prescription medicines.
Before every wellness treatment, our practitioner carries out a structured consultation to review your medical history, current medications, and any supplements you take. This assessment ensures the treatment is safe, suitable, and tailored to your individual needs.
Wellness & Advanced Treatments FAQ
How do IV drips work?
A small cannula is placed into a vein in your arm, and the vitamin infusion is delivered directly into your bloodstream over 30–60 minutes. Because the nutrients bypass the digestive system, absorption rates reach up to 90% compared to around 20% with oral supplements.
Are IV vitamin drips safe?
When administered by trained medical professionals in a clinical environment, IV drips are considered safe. All treatments at Westbury Chemist are carried out under pharmacy-led governance. A pre-treatment consultation is mandatory to identify contraindications, review medications, and ensure suitability.
How quickly will I feel the effects of an IV drip?
Many patients notice improved energy and hydration within hours of their infusion. Full benefits typically peak within 24–72 hours. The duration of effects varies by drip type and individual health status.
What is the difference between IV drips and IM vitamin injections?
IV drips deliver a larger volume of nutrients directly into a vein over 30–60 minutes. IM injections deliver a concentrated single vitamin into the muscle in under a minute. IV therapy is ideal for comprehensive wellness support, while IM shots are a quick, targeted option for specific deficiencies like B12 or Vitamin D.
How does PRP work for hair loss?
Platelet-rich plasma contains concentrated growth factors that, when injected into the scalp, stimulate dormant hair follicles and promote new growth. PRP also strengthens existing hair and improves scalp health. A course of three sessions spaced one month apart is typically recommended, with maintenance every six months.
Does microneedling hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimise discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild prickling or vibration. The face may feel warm and tight afterwards, similar to mild sunburn, but this settles within 24–48 hours.
Which chemical peel is right for me?
This depends on your skin concern, skin type, and how much downtime you are comfortable with. Superficial peels suit mild dullness with minimal recovery. Medium peels target pigmentation and fine lines with several days of visible peeling. Deep peels address significant damage but require longer recovery. Your practitioner will recommend the appropriate depth during your consultation.
Can I combine multiple treatments?
Many of our wellness and advanced treatments complement each other. For example, IM vitamin injections can be added alongside IV therapy for a comprehensive wellness boost. Microneedling pairs well with PRP (Vampire Facial) and with skin boosters for amplified skin renewal. Your practitioner will design a combined protocol tailored to your goals.
How many sessions of microneedling will I need?
We recommend a course of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart for optimal results. Collagen remodelling continues for several weeks after each session, with cumulative improvement over the course. Maintenance treatments every three to six months help sustain your results.
Who should avoid IV therapy or IM injections?
Patients with kidney disease, heart failure, certain blood disorders, or known allergies to specific vitamins or minerals may not be suitable. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their GP before receiving any intravenous or intramuscular treatment. These contraindications are assessed during your mandatory pre-treatment consultation.
