Private suites and safety principles

IV therapy delivers fluids, vitamins or other substances directly into a vein through a small catheter. At the clinic, each IV session takes place in a private single room , so you can rest quietly.

The clinic follows clear principles:

  • Single-use consumables for every patient
  • Strict infection control during preparation and insertion
  • No excessive IV therapy : IVs are not recommended beyond what is reasonable for your situation
  • About 30 minutes per session
  • Parking fully covered by the clinic for IV patients

Dr. Kim Yoo Suk reviews your symptoms, medical history and medications in English before any IV is given.

IV and injection options

The following options are available. Each page explains what it contains, who it may be considered for, and its limitations.

Nutrition IVs are non-covered by Korean National Health Insurance. Ask at reception about costs before your session.

Who may consider IV therapy

IV therapy is not a substitute for diagnosis. If you have a fever, severe sore throat or sinus pain, the cause should be assessed first, for example a common cold , acute sinusitis or tonsillitis . Treatment of the underlying condition comes first, and an IV may be discussed as supportive care.

Some people ask about IVs when they feel run-down during busy work periods or after travel. Evidence for wellness IVs varies by ingredient, and the clinic does not make claims beyond what is established. Dr. Kim will tell you if an IV is unnecessary.

Before and during your session

  • Tell the doctor about allergies, pregnancy, kidney or heart conditions, and all current medications.
  • Eat a light meal beforehand unless told otherwise.
  • Expect a small needle prick when the catheter is placed; mild bruising can occur afterward.
  • Tell staff immediately if you feel pain at the site, dizziness, flushing or shortness of breath.

The session lasts about 30 minutes in your private room. Afterward, you can usually return to normal activities. A flu vaccination or vitamin D test can be arranged during the same visit if appropriate.
