Sunburns
Sometimes paradise makes you pay. After a day at the beach or out on the boat, sun exposure can leave you dealing with skin discomfort and even sun poisoning. We bring the relief to you.
What's Inside
How It Helps
Sunburns damage skin cells and trigger an inflammatory response that causes pain, redness, and peeling. Severe sunburn can even lead to sun poisoning, with symptoms like fever, chills, nausea, and dehydration. Our Sunburn IV delivers pain relief through Toradol or Tylenol, supports skin repair with B vitamins and Folic Acid, and includes topical Vitamin E for direct skin nourishment.
Dr. Patel assesses your level of sun exposure and adjusts the formula accordingly. Rapid IV hydration helps your body cool down and supports the healing process from the inside out.
Sunburn versus sun poisoning
A red, sore burn is one thing. Sun poisoning is the next level, and in Florida it is common: fever, chills, nausea, headache, and dehydration on top of the burn, often after a long unprotected day on the water or the beach. That systemic reaction is where IV fluids and anti-inflammatories earn their keep, because you are treating the whole-body effect, not just the skin. Blistering over a large area, confusion, fainting, or a high fever go past what a drip should handle and into urgent-care territory, and we will tell you if that is what we are seeing.
Sarasota gives you 361 days a year to get this wrong: a full afternoon at Siesta Key, a boat day with no shade, a round of golf that ran long. If a big sun day is coming, hydrating before and after does more than any after-the-fact fix, but when you have already overdone it, we come to the hotel, home, or dock.
Sunburned and miserable? We come to your hotel, home, or boat.

Related Treatments
Heavy sun exposure can leave the skin inflamed and the body dehydrated, especially in the Florida climate. This physician-supervised IV offers hydration, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory support that may help the body's natural recovery process after a sunburn. It is often considered when oral fluids feel inadequate and discomfort is significant, with Dr. Patel evaluating each case to ensure the infusion is a suitable complement to topical care and rest.
Common Questions
Does this IV treat the sunburn itself?
No, it does not heal the skin. It may support internal rehydration and provide nutrients that could aid overall comfort.
When should I seek emergency care for a sunburn?
If you have severe blistering, fever, or confusion, seek immediate medical attention. This IV is for mild to moderate cases.
Can I combine this with aloe or other topical treatments?
Yes, topical care is encouraged. The IV is a separate supportive measure that does not interfere with skin applications.
