About

Forbidden Well describes itself as a luxury medical spa focused on IV therapy, aesthetics and optimization. In-studio drips take place in private treatment bays within a lounge that has a full bar and a television. The business says it is New York's only IV lounge with a full bar, private bays and on-site clinical staff, a claim it makes about itself.

IV drips are by appointment only and are given by a licensed registered nurse under physician oversight, with a medical director and licensed nursing staff present at every in-studio visit. Each client completes an intake review, and the provider can adjust ingredients, add-ons and dosing. Most standard drips take 45 to 60 minutes, while NAD+ sessions usually run 90 minutes to several hours depending on dose. Mobile IV visits bring a licensed nurse to homes, hotels, offices and event venues across Manhattan, Brooklyn and nearby areas, with same-day booking for most drips. A flat $150 concierge fee is added to the chosen drip, and nurses arrive 10 to 15 minutes early for setup.

The facial menu ranges from a 30-minute glow facial to 90-minute microneedling sessions, and includes treatments such as Glass Skin, Skin Reset, Bright Era, Calm Reset, Pore Detox, a salicylic gel peel, dermaplaning, a custom power peel and No Filter Needed. Every facial begins with a skin evaluation, and a licensed provider reviews each skin session before the appointment. PDRN, a polynucleotide derived from salmon DNA, and exosome formulas are offered as stand-alone facials or microneedling add-ons, and PRP can be used in a microneedling facial. Injectable services include neurotoxin treatments the site describes as FDA-approved for cosmetic use, hyaluronic acid fillers selected by treatment area, and biostimulators. New Botox and filler patients need a consultation before their first treatment.

EBOO therapy is an extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation procedure offered only after a clinical consultation, because candidacy is decided through clinical review rather than an online form. During a session, roughly two liters of blood circulates through a closed external circuit, is oxygenated and exposed to medical ozone, is filtered, and is returned while vitals, blood glucose and oxygenation are monitored. The business recommends a minimum of four sessions, usually once a week, and describes EBOO as a wellness and performance therapy rather than treatment for any specific disease.

Private infrared sauna sessions are offered by appointment at the Union Square location, in rooms for up to three guests. Each session includes a private on-site shower and towels, and pregnant clients are asked to get physician clearance first. Massage options include Swedish, deep tissue, lymphatic drainage, medical massage and sports reset, which combines deep tissue work with assisted stretching. Massage also requires a booking.

Care starts with an intake, consultation or skin evaluation, and treatment choices follow the client's condition, goals and tolerance. The business presents IV therapy as a wellness service and not a treatment for any particular disease.
