Restore Balance & Optimize Your Health with Therapeutic Phlebotomy

At Aura Vida  Health & Wellness, we offer therapeutic phlebotomy, a safe and effective treatment designed to manage various health conditions, particularly those related to excess iron in the blood, such as hemochromatosis. Our compassionate team is dedicated to providing personalized care, helping you improve your health and overall well-being through this specialized service.

What is Therapeutic Phlebotomy?

Therapeutic phlebotomy involves the controlled removal of blood, called Secondary Erythrocytosis; a condition where the body produces too many red blood cells due to an underlying condition, from the body to reduce excess iron levels or address certain medical conditions. This procedure is similar to a standard blood donation but is performed for therapeutic reasons. By reducing iron overload, therapeutic phlebotomy helps prevent potential complications associated with elevated iron levels, such as liver damage and heart problems.

What Treatment Looks Like

During a therapeutic phlebotomy session, you will be comfortably seated while a trained healthcare professional will insert a needle into your vein, typically in the arm. A specific amount of blood—usually around 500 mL—is drawn, and the session generally lasts about 30-45 minutes. The frequency of treatment varies based on individual needs but is typically scheduled every few weeks until optimal iron levels are achieved.

Therapeutic Phlebotomy Pricing

May be required by your provider, depending on your lab results. Your provider will instruct you on what needs to be done next. This is done in the clinic.
