We’re a caring, medically-led clinic. Ensuring your safety, wrap around care, and maximising the effectiveness of treatment is our priority for you. Before your first treatment, we require new patients to undergo a medical consultation with one of our medical team. Your initial consultation is priced at £150, but this cost will be deducted from the overall cost of your Iron Infusion treatment package once you decide to proceed. Prior to treatment, we require a recent blood test result (completed within the last 30 days): Iron status, Ferritin, and Haemoglobin. You can obtain these results from your GP or, alternatively, we can arrange for these blood tests privately for you.

What is Iron Infusion Treatment?
At Dr Brian Wellness NG, we understand how frustrating it can be when you’re not feeling your best. Symptoms like overwhelming fatigue, brain fog, or hair loss can impact every part of your life. While these signs can often point to low iron levels, many people find themselves in a healthcare grey area where their levels aren’t low enough for an NHS diagnosis or treatment, even though they’re experiencing real, and often debilitating, symptoms.
That’s where we come in. An IV Iron Infusion is a medical treatment that delivers iron directly into your bloodstream through a small IV line, usually placed in your arm. It’s a simple, effective solution that gets right to the root of the problem by directly replenishing your body’s iron stores.
This treatment is especially beneficial for people who experience symptoms of low iron but whose levels don’t warrant treatment under NHS guidelines. By bypassing the digestive system, the infusion ensures the iron is absorbed completely and without the common side effects of oral iron supplements, like an upset stomach. It’s a direct and efficient solution to help you get back to feeling like yourself again.
You may expect a range of Iron infusion benefits:
Rapid and Complete Absorption
- 100% absorptiona
- Used quickly by the body
- Faster increase in haemoglobin levels
- Rapidly corrected iron deficiency anemia
Avoidance of Gastrointestinal Side Effects
- Well tolerated
- Less to no gastrointestinal side effects
More Effective for Those Suffering Specific Conditions such as:
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Celiac disease
- Those who have undergone bariatric surgery
Significant Improvement in Quality of Life
- Increases energy levels
- Reduces fatigue
- Supports brain fog
Significant Reduction in Hair Loss and Restoration of Hair Health
- Restores essential nutrients to hair follicles
- Stimulates hair regrowth
- Improves hair texture and volume
Who may benefit from Iron Infusion Treatment ?
Our medically led team will consult with you prior to treatment; our treatments are always governed by clinicians.
This treatment is a wonderful option for anyone experiencing the tell-tale signs of low iron levels, such as:
- Feeling constantly fatigued or run down
- Struggling with brain fog or a lack of mental clarity
- Noticing unexplained hair loss or thinning
- Feeling generally weak or sluggish
It is particularly helpful for those who haven’t seen results from oral supplements or who experience negative side effects from them. Low iron levels are a common issue in many communities, including Asian communities, and our treatment is a fantastic way to address this.
How does Iron Infusion Treatment
work?
It all starts with our unique trifold blood test, which gives us a complete picture of your iron, hemoglobin, and ferritin levels. Once we have your results, our medical team will recommend a treatment plan that’s just for you.
An iron infusion works by delivering a specialised form of iron directly into your bloodstream through a vein. This bypasses your digestive system entirely, which is crucial because a number of factors can interfere with the absorption of iron from oral supplements, including inflammation in the gut (common in conditions like Celiac disease or IBD), or simply the slow and inefficient nature of the gut absorption process itself.
Once in your blood, the iron is immediately picked up by a protein called transferrin, which acts as a shuttle, transporting the iron directly to the parts of your body that need it most. The two primary destinations are:
- Bone Marrow: Here, the iron is used to produce hemoglobin, the vital protein inside your red blood cells that is responsible for carrying oxygen from your lungs to all of your tissues and organs. A rapid increase in hemoglobin levels is what leads to improvements in fatigue and energy.
- Ferritin Stores: Your body also stores iron for future use. The iron is safely stored in a protein called ferritin in your liver, spleen, and bone marrow. Replenishing these stores is essential for long-term health and to prevent iron deficiency from returning quickly.
This direct-to-bloodstream delivery method ensures that your body receives an appropriate dose of bioavailable iron, allowing for a much faster and more complete replenishment of your iron stores compared to taking oral iron pills.
Personalised treatment plans
With Dr Brian, you can be assured that our protocols are always medical professional led and they will consult with you regarding your medical history prior to treatment.
The effects of an Iron Infusion can often be cumulative and our medical practitioners may recommend several sessions in a row to experience optimum benefits. Due to each patient’s individual needs, the amount of sessions required, and the duration of those sessions, varies.
While it is possible to experience benefits following your first session, some patients require more sessions before experiencing changes.
Frequently asked questions
An iron infusion, also known as an iron IV, is a procedure where iron is delivered directly into your bloodstream through a small needle in your arm. It’s a quick and effective way to get your iron levels up when you can’t get enough from diet or oral supplements. It’s a common treatment for iron deficiency anemia, especially in cases where the deficiency is severe or other treatments haven’t worked.
The duration of an iron infusion can vary. It usually takes 90 minutes to a few hours, depending on the specific type of iron and the amount you need. As for how long the effects last, it can also vary from person to person. For some, the effects of a single infusion can last for several months, or even up to a year. DR BRIAN can help you determine the course of your treatment.
While iron infusions are generally safe, some people may experience side effects. It’s also possible to feel a bit worse after an iron infusion before you start feeling better. This is usually temporary and a sign that your body is adjusting to the sudden increase in iron.
Common side effects of iron infusion can include:
- Temporary aches and pains: You might feel some muscle or joint pain, or even get a headache.
- Dizziness or nausea: These are usually mild and pass quickly.
- Changes at the injection site: You might see some bruising, swelling, or feel a bit of irritation.
- Skin staining: In rare cases, some of the iron can leak and cause a temporary brown discoloration of the skin around the injection site. This usually fades over time.
