Adam Nadelson, MD, is the founder and CEO of The I.V. Doc, a telehealth and home visit company that provides intravenous (IV) and medical treatments for a variety of symptom sets. Adam Nadelson, MD, has received widespread media attention for the company's IV hangover treatments.Dietary supplement companies, laypeople, and medical professionals have developed numerous hangover “cures” over the years, but there is one that science has proven to work. It's the IV hydration treatment, and it works by counteracting the dehydrating effects of alcohol.The human pituitary gland produces a compound known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which senses when the body is low on water and reduces the rate of urine production. Alcohol actively inhibits production of this hormone, which makes the body think it has more water available than it actually does. As a result, when you drink alcohol, you urinate more liquid than you take in.For every alcohol shot or equivalent that a person drinks, he or she urinates an extra 120 milliliters per hour. Some people try to drink enough water to compensate. Unfortunately, because alcohol is still reducing ADH production, and the alcohol itself causes an irritated and inflamed gastrointestinal tract the body has limited absorption and only retains up to a third of that.IV hydration is more effective. It contains a balanced saline solution that is near equal to normal electrolyte levels in the body, and it can include several other vitamins and medications to address presenting symptoms. With anti-nausea medications, anti-inflammatories, and nutrient blends that include the crucial B1 vitamin, hydration treatments address not only the symptoms of hangover but also the root cause.
A board-certified surgeon, Adam Nadelson, MD, leverages extensive training and education to his cosmetic surgery practice on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. There, he offers a range of services, including eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, and liposuction. Dedicated to his patients, Adam Nadelson, MD, is flexible with locations and scheduling for select non-surgical procedures.Over the years, Dr. Nadelson recognized that many patients had to take time out of their schedules to visit a cosmetic surgery clinic for even minor procedures, such as lip augmentation. Because many of these patients led busy lives, making a special trip to a clinic and spending time in a waiting room inconvenient, so much so that some simply didn’t have time to make an office visit at all. To solve this problem, Dr. Nadelson launched his concierge services program, which allows patients to have non-invasive procedures conducted in the convenience and comfort of their own homes or hotel rooms. In addition to lip augmentation and other fillers, the program offers services such as Botox and post-surgical care.

Adam Nadelson, MD, practices as a fellowship-trained cosmetic surgeon in New York City. To help patients look and feel more youthful, Adam Nadelson, MD, performs a variety of face and body procedures including tumescent liposuction.First introduced in the United States in the early 1980s, tumescent liposuction has become the standard of practice worldwide. Statistically safer, it requires less postsurgical recovery time, and causes less pain to the patient as compared to traditional liposuction.With tumescent liposuction, the surgeon injects a large amount of diluted local anesthetic mixed with a medication that shrinks blood vessels. The constricted vessels minimize the amount of bleeding involved in the procedure, while the local anesthetic allows the patient to undergo the procedure fully awake but pain-free.After the injection, the surgical site becomes swollen and firm, known as tumescence in medical terms. The surgeon then introduces a cannula to break apart and extract the fat cells. Thanks to the vasoconstriction, minimal bruising occurs with tumescent liposuction, and many people can return to regular activity later the same day.
