When longtime healthcare professional Mary Bycholski, APRN, launched IV Lounge CT in March of 2023, her vision extended far beyond traditional spa treatments.
A nurse with more than two decades of experience in internal medicine, emergency care and neurology, Mary recognized a simple key truth: external beauty begins with internal health.
Drawing on her background in hospital patient care, along with aesthetic-medicine transition, she created a med spa where nutrient-rich infusions and targeted cosmetic treatments converge to help clients look younger and feel stronger.
Inside-Out Wellness Meets Aesthetic Refinement
At the heart of IV Lounge lies its signature IV therapy suite, where customized infusions deliver vitamins, antioxidants and electrolytes directly into the bloodstream — allowing near-100 percent nutrient bioavailability. While oral supplements often top out around 60 percent absorption, IV therapy bypasses the digestive route and offers precision-tailored support. Clients seeking immune support, hydration, reduced inflammation, recovery from exertion or simply an energy boost are drawn to this medically supervised, wellness-first model.
But wellness is just one piece of the youth-enhancement equation at IV Lounge, Mary says.
“Your skin is a reflection of your overall health,” and the medspa and wellness center's menu aligns accordingly—bringing injectables, fillers and advanced facials into the same client journey.
IV Lounge’s upstream thinking — prevention, wellness, aesthetics — reflects Mary’s own transition from acute-care practice to aesthetic & wellness medicine.
“People are realizing that wellness is more about preventative thinking-- modalities in place with a goal of building resilience and longevity.” The medspa & wellness website emphasizes safety, client-centred care and medically supervised protocols. They stress that they do not diagnose or treat acute or chronic illness. Instead they work collaboratively as a part of a treatment team.
Advanced Face Treatments for a Refreshed Look
Under the “Face Treatments” category, IV Lounge offers a full spectrum of aesthetic options — from neuromodulators (like Botox®) to lip and cheek fillers, lip flips, skin-tightening microneedling, RF treatments and more. Their Botox page outlines safe administration, FDA-approved protocols, and targeted treatment areas such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, the jawline (masseter) and neck. Meanwhile, lip fillers and lip flips bring subtle definition and natural volume, with individualized consultations to match each client’s aesthetic goals.
Facials and skincare treatments amplify the effect — advanced options such as RF-microneedling and HydraFacial help stimulate collagen, refine texture and restore radiance to tired or aging skin.
The medspa’s commitment to personalized care shines here: every cosmetic treatment is preceded by a consultation, ensuring the goal is enhancement—not transformation that looks “done.” “We believe no two sets of lips are the same —and neither are your goals,” the website notes.
A Body & Weight-Loss Program That Complements the Aesthetic Vision
The aesthetic and wellness track continues with the Body & Weight-Loss program. IV Lounge brings to the table medically supervised weight-loss injections, appetite-curbing formulations, metabolism-boosting protocols, lifestyle counseling and more. The integration of IV therapy, nutrition and injectables enables clients to lose weight, preserve lean muscle and regain physical and visual vitality.
A Holistic Philosophy With Community Roots
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Touch of Glamour, Mary’s Glastonbury med spa, and now IV Lounge emerged as a champion for community wellness by launching an annual wellness event designed to uplift, reconnect, and inspire local residents. What began as a post-pandemic effort to restore a sense of hope has since evolved into a signature gathering that, for three consecutive years, brought together attendees to hear from a curated panel of wellness experts, healthcare leaders, and holistic practitioners. Each event blended education with community impact, raising funds for local charities while highlighting the importance of preventative health and collective healing.
The 2025 Wellness Event in ?? held special significance, honoring Sandy Castelli of Glastonbury, Connecticut, for her lifelong dedication to service and finding a cure through research for metastatic breast cancer. Through this series, IV Lounge not only underscored its commitment to preventative wellness but also established itself as a driving force in fostering connection, philanthropy, and meaningful dialogue in the region. The event has become one of the area’s most anticipated wellness traditions, leaving attendees eager for what future years will bring.
For those seeking a younger look, or to improve their health and body confidence, IV Lounge CT offers more than single treatments — it offers a journey. From hydration drips to lip definition, and from collagen stimulation to weight-loss momentum, the experience is designed to deliver inside-out transformations.
