Quick answer · What is IV Therapy?
IV therapy delivers fluids, electrolytes, vitamins or antioxidants through a small cannula in a vein, usually over 30–60 minutes. It is supportive care: it can rehydrate you and top up nutrients quickly, but evidence for wider wellness, skin or energy benefits is limited. At RE:BERRY a doctor reviews your health first, there is no downtime, and most people return to their day straight after the drip.

How it works
How the different IV drips compare
Every drip starts from a sterile fluid base such as saline or Ringer's solution. Depending on your goal, the doctor may add B vitamins, vitamin C, minerals, alpha-lipoic acid or glutathione. Hydration effects are well understood; claims about immunity, detox, brightening or weight loss are largely unproven, so we explain what each ingredient can and cannot do before you choose.
-
Doctor consultation
A doctor reviews your medical history, medicines and allergies, then recommends a suitable drip or advises against one.
-
Cannula and infusion
A nurse places a fine cannula in a vein in your arm and the drip runs slowly over 30–60 minutes while you rest.
-
Check and go
The cannula is removed, the site is covered and you are checked briefly before heading back to your plans.
Inside the clinic
A quiet, private room for your drip
IV therapy is not a treatment with visual before and after photos. Most patients simply describe feeling rested and rehydrated after an hour in a calm, private room with staff checking on them.
A good fit if you…
- Feel dehydrated or run-down after a long flight or busy trip
- Want a doctor to check whether a drip is suitable before you have one
- Prefer to rest in a private room for under an hour
- Understand IV drips are supportive care, not a cure
Talk to your doctor first if you…
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have G6PD deficiency (high-dose vitamin C can cause red blood cell breakdown)
- Have kidney disease, kidney stones, a heart condition or have been told to limit fluids
- Have an allergy to any vitamin, preservative or ingredient in the drip

FAQ
IV Therapy questions we hear every day
Which IV drip should I choose?
It depends on your goal and health. Hydration drips suit dehydration from travel or heat, while vitamin drips top up B vitamins and vitamin C; a doctor recommends the right option at a free consultation.
Do IV drips really work?
IV fluids reliably rehydrate, and IV vitamins raise blood levels quickly. Evidence that drips boost immunity, detox the body, whiten skin or cause weight loss is limited, so we describe them honestly as supportive care.
Is IV therapy safe?
For most healthy adults it is low risk when screened by a doctor. Possible side effects include bruising, a cool feeling in the arm or, rarely, an allergic reaction; people with G6PD deficiency, kidney or heart conditions, or who are pregnant need extra caution.
Does it hurt?
You feel a brief pinch as the cannula goes in, then usually nothing more than a cool sensation. Some ingredients, such as vitamin B1, may leave a short-lived taste in the mouth.
Can I combine a drip with skin treatments?
Yes, many patients have a drip on the same day as a laser or booster. Ask about pairing it with skin boosters at your consultation.
How much does IV therapy cost in Myeongdong?
Pricing depends on the type of drip 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.
