Quick answer · What is Detox IV Drip?
A detox IV drip is an infusion of fluids, B vitamins and antioxidants such as glutathione or alpha-lipoic acid, given over 30–60 minutes. Your liver and kidneys already clear waste and toxins, and there is little evidence that a drip improves this in healthy people. What it can do is rehydrate and top up nutrients. A doctor screens you first, and there is no downtime.

How it works
Your liver does the detox; the drip supports hydration
The liver and kidneys continuously process and remove waste, and good hydration helps them work normally. A detox drip adds fluids, B vitamins and antioxidants, which can help if you are dehydrated or run-down. Claims that drips flush out toxins, cause weight loss or clear skin are not supported by good evidence.
-
Consultation
A doctor reviews your health, medicines and kidney or liver history and explains what the drip can realistically do.
-
Infusion
Fluids and antioxidants run through a fine cannula in your arm over 30–60 minutes.
-
Afterwards
The cannula is removed; keep drinking water and eat well to support your body's own processes.
Inside the clinic
A restful hour in a private room

A good fit if you…
- Feel dehydrated or depleted after travel or a busy period

FAQ
Detox IV Drip questions we hear every day
Does a detox drip remove toxins?
Your liver and kidneys already do this. There is little evidence that a drip speeds it up, but the fluids and nutrients can help if you are dehydrated or depleted.
Will it help me lose weight?
No. A detox drip is not a weight-loss treatment, and any drop on the scale is usually fluid.
What is in it?
Typically fluids, B vitamins and an antioxidant such as glutathione or alpha-lipoic acid. Vitamin C may be added after screening for G6PD deficiency and kidney problems.
Does it hurt?
There is a brief pinch from the cannula, then usually just a cool feeling. Most people rest throughout.
Is it similar to a glutathione drip?
Partly. A glutathione IV focuses on one antioxidant, while a detox drip usually combines fluids, vitamins and antioxidants.
How much does a detox IV drip 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.
