How IV therapy works

A trained medical professional places a small IV line in a vein in your arm, and a nutrient solution is given gradually. Because the nutrients enter the bloodstream directly instead of passing through the digestive system, they are absorbed faster and more effectively than oral supplements, so many guests notice the effect during or shortly after the session.

Different formulas target different goals: fluids and electrolytes for hydration, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants for immune support and energy, and melanin-suppressing and antioxidant ingredients for brighter skin. Sessions typically take 30–60 minutes and you can return to your day straight away. Your doctor chooses the formula with you after reviewing your health history.

FAQ

IV Therapy in Seoul: FAQ

What is IV therapy and how is it different from supplements?

IV (intravenous) therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a vein. Because it bypasses the digestive system, absorption is faster and more complete than with oral supplements, which is why effects are often felt during or shortly after the session.

How long does an IV drip take?

Most IV sessions take 30–60 minutes, depending on the formula and volume. Shot-type injections such as glutathione are quicker.

Which IV should I choose?

It depends on your goal: hydration and recovery, immune support, energy, or skin brightness. Your doctor reviews your health history and recommends a formula at consultation; you can also combine 2–3 standard IVs with the Choose Your IV option.

Does IV therapy hurt, and is there downtime?

You may feel a brief pinch when the line is placed and a cool sensation during the infusion, which usually settles quickly. There is minimal downtime; at most a small bruise at the insertion site.

Who should not have IV therapy?

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have kidney or heart conditions, allergies, or take regular medication. If you have a fever or feel acutely unwell, see a doctor for a diagnosis first. IV therapy supports wellness; it does not replace medical treatment.

How much does IV therapy cost in Myeongdong?

Single vitamin, Cinderella, garlic, wine and glutathione shots start from ₩69,000, and premium IVs such as Myers' Cocktail, NAD+ or the Whitening IV are ₩220,000. Prices are in Korean won and 10% VAT is added at payment.
