Better Body Balance

IV therapy in Seoul — personalised drips for recovery, skin condition and the days that matter

Nutrients, antioxidants and immune support delivered directly into the vein

IV Clinic — Better Body Balance at VOS Dermatology Clinic, Gangnam Seoul

Overview

IV therapy in Seoul delivers nutrients, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants directly into the vein, bypassing the absorption limits and metabolic breakdown of the digestive route. The same drip can have very different effects from person to person — which is why VOS prescribes formulations individually, after diagnosis, rather than from a fixed menu.

At VOS Dermatology in Gangnam the IV Clinic is used for fatigue recovery, skin condition and nutrients that are hard to get from diet, with step-by-step plans to restore overall vitality and balance. Drips are given in private single rooms for physical and mental comfort. Effects vary by person.

Who it’s for

Is IV Clinic right for you?

  • Those who accumulate fatigue easily
  • Those whose skin condition has suddenly dropped
  • Those with an important event ahead (shoot, event, interview)
  • Those who feel no difference from oral supplements

FAQ

Questions patients ask about IV Clinic

How much does IV therapy cost in Seoul?
This treatment is not on VOS's current English price list, so the cost depends on the area, number of shots or vials, and whether treatments are combined. Send your concern and a photo on WhatsApp — you will get a clear quote before anything is scheduled.
Why IV instead of oral supplements?
IV delivery bypasses digestive absorption issues and metabolic breakdown, so nutrients reach the body efficiently. The clinic notes it is often chosen by people who feel no difference from oral supplements.
Who is it for?
According to the clinic: people who accumulate fatigue easily, whose skin condition has suddenly dropped, who have an important event ahead (a shoot, event or interview), or who feel no benefit from oral supplements.
Is the drip the same for everyone?
No. The same IV therapy can have vastly different effects depending on the individual, so formulations are prescribed after individual diagnosis and planned step by step.

About Dr. Hongseok Kim

Dr. Kim performs your IV Clinic himself — from the first skin analysis to the follow-up check.

Dr. Kim focuses on aesthetic dermatology — skin regeneration, facial contour and healthy ageing — and builds each plan from a close look at the individual patient's skin and goals, aiming for natural, refined results.

At VOS the same specialist is responsible for the whole course of care: diagnosis, the procedure itself and follow-up. An accurate reading of skin structure and how it changes is what makes results more complete and keeps the risk of side effects low.
