What to expect with IV sedation

We start with a consult to go through your medical history and the treatment you need, and to answer your questions.

On the day, the sedation is given through a small cannula and you settle into a deeply relaxed state. Most people remember little of the appointment afterwards.

Afterwards you rest in recovery until you are ready, then a friend or family member takes you home. We give you written aftercare instructions.
