IV drip therapy

The name Baekok injection is generally used for an injection whose main ingredient is glutathione, and Cindella injection (often also called the Cinderella injection) for one whose main ingredient is thioctic acid (alpha-lipoic acid). Both ingredients are known to be substances related to antioxidant activity in the body, and thioctic acid is also a medicinal ingredient used to treat other conditions.

However, drips for cosmetic purposes have no efficacy or schedule set by an approval, so the changes people feel after a drip also vary from person to person. Please confirm the names and amounts of the medications used at Miri Clinic at your consultation.

The cocktail injection is the item described on the price list as "a mix of 5 medications, including Baekok and Cindella". It adds three other medications to the ingredients of the Baekok and Cindella injections and is given all at once; please be sure to confirm the names and amounts of the remaining medications at your consultation.

Because several medications are mixed and given together, please let us know in advance if you have ever had reactions such as hives or itching after an injection or medication. If it is your first drip, you can also discuss at your consultation whether to check your body's response first with a single injection.

If you have a heart or kidney condition, the volume of fluid entering a vein may put a strain on your body, so it is known to be best to consult first at your visit before having a drip.

Please also tell us in advance if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are taking any medications or health supplements, or have ever felt dizzy or fainted while having an injection. If you feel different from usual that day, please let us know that too.

Bruising at the needle site or a dull ache in the arm is common and usually settles with time. Rarely, nausea or allergic reactions such as hives or itching may occur.

If you develop nausea or itching or feel short of breath during the drip, do not put up with it — tell the medical staff right away. After you go home, if the needle site swells and feels warm or redness spreads, please contact the clinic.

There is no set answer to how often you should have IV drip therapy, so each time we first check how you feel that day before deciding.

Drips for cosmetic purposes have no set schedule, so whether to have one again and the interval are decided at your consultation based on your condition and how you responded last time.

There is often no separate downtime after a drip, but if you felt dizzy or heavy during the drip, please rest for a while before going home. A drip cannot replace enough sleep and meals, so if fatigue continues for a long time, it is best to have the cause looked into at a medical consultation.

IV drip therapy costs ₩50,000–₩100,000 per session depending on the injection you choose (plus 10% VAT on cosmetic procedures).

The Baekok injection and the Cindella injection are each ₩50,000 per session, and the cocktail injection is ₩100,000 per session, plus 10% VAT on cosmetic procedures. Because the cocktail injection includes Baekok and Cindella, you can choose at your consultation, based on your condition, whether to have them one at a time or as a cocktail.
