Quick answer · What is Anti-Aging IV Therapy?
Anti-aging IV therapy is an infusion of antioxidants such as alpha-lipoic acid (the Korean Cinderella drip), vitamin C and sometimes glutathione, given over 30–60 minutes. These nutrients help counter oxidative stress, but there is limited evidence that a drip visibly reduces wrinkles or reverses ageing. It works best as supportive care alongside lifting, laser or booster treatments, with no downtime after a doctor's screening.

How it works
Antioxidants as a supporting role, not the main act
Alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin C and glutathione are antioxidants that help neutralise free radicals, and vitamin C is needed to make collagen. A drip delivers them quickly, but wrinkles and sagging respond far better to treatments that work in the skin itself. We therefore suggest this drip as an add-on, not a replacement.
-
Consultation
A doctor discusses your skin goals, health and medicines, and may suggest pairing the drip with a skin treatment.
-
Antioxidant infusion
The drip runs slowly through a fine cannula in your arm over 30–60 minutes in a private room.
-
Afterwards
The cannula is removed and you can carry on with your day or move to your next treatment.
Inside the clinic
A calm hour alongside your skin treatments
An antioxidant drip does not produce dramatic visual changes on its own. Patients usually have it on the same day as a laser or booster, resting in a private room while it runs.
A good fit if you…
- Are already planning lifting, laser or booster treatments
- Want antioxidant support as part of a wider skincare plan
- Feel tired and dull after travel
- Have realistic expectations about what a drip can do
Talk to your doctor first if you…
- Have G6PD deficiency (high-dose vitamin C can cause red blood cell breakdown)
- Take insulin or diabetes medication (alpha-lipoic acid can lower blood sugar)
- Have kidney disease, kidney stones, a heart condition or have been told to limit fluids
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding

FAQ
Anti-Aging IV Therapy questions we hear every day
Will an anti-aging drip reduce wrinkles?
Not noticeably on its own. Antioxidants support skin health, but wrinkles and laxity respond better to treatments such as Rejuran, lasers or lifting devices.
What is a Cinderella drip?
It is a popular Korean drip based on alpha-lipoic acid, an antioxidant. It can lower blood sugar slightly, so the doctor checks whether you take diabetes medication first.
Does it hurt?
There is a brief pinch from the cannula, then usually nothing more than a cool or warm feeling in the arm. Some patients notice a faint taste during the infusion.
How often should I have it?
There is no fixed schedule. Some patients have it occasionally alongside skin treatments; your doctor advises based on your health and goals.
Can I have it with glutathione?
Yes, glutathione is sometimes added. Evidence for skin effects from IV glutathione is limited, which your doctor will explain at consultation.
How much does anti-aging IV therapy cost in Myeongdong?
Pricing depends on the drip formula and any add-ins, and on whether you book a single session or a course. The same price list applies to every nationality and you receive it in writing before treatment. See our price list.
