What are aesthetic IV drips and injections? How they differ from oral intake

Aesthetic IV drips and injections are medical cosmetic treatments that deliver nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and glutathione directly into the bloodstream by intravenous drip or injection.

When nutrients are taken through supplements or food, there is a limit to how much the digestive tract can absorb. IV drips and injections, by contrast, bypass the digestive tract and deliver nutrients straight into the bloodstream, giving them a high absorption rate and fast-acting effect.

Oral intake (supplements / food)

  • Absorption in the digestive tract is limited
  • Takes time before effects appear
  • Can place a burden on the stomach and intestines

IV drip / injection

  • 100% absorption delivered straight into the blood
  • Fast-acting, with easily noticeable effects
  • High-concentration dosing is possible

Main types of aesthetic IV drips and injections and their benefits

Vitamin C injection / IV drip

The most popular aesthetic injection, delivering high-dose vitamin C (ascorbic acid) directly.

Garlic injection (vitamin B1 injection)

An injection whose main ingredient is vitamin B1 (thiamine). It is called a “garlic injection” because of the distinctive garlic-like smell some people notice after the injection.

Stronger Neo-Minophagen C (SNMC)

An injection formulated with glycyrrhizinic acid, glycine, and cysteine. Originally used as a liver-function treatment, it is now also widely applied for cosmetic and health purposes.

Glutathione IV drip

Delivers glutathione, said to be the body’s most powerful antioxidant, directly. Also known as the “master antioxidant,” it is expected to support skin whitening, detoxification, and anti-aging.

Side effects, risks, and precautions

Aesthetic IV drips and injections are generally very safe treatments, but the following points require attention.

⚠ People with kidney disease or G6PD deficiency may not be able to receive high-dose vitamin C IV drips. Always consult a physician beforehand.

The treatment process

STEP 1

Counseling and menu selection

We listen to your concerns and goals and recommend the IV drip or injection menu best suited to you.

STEP 2

Treatment

An injection takes a few minutes, and an IV drip is completed in about 30 to 60 minutes. During the procedure you can relax in a reclining chair.

STEP 3

Going home

There is virtually no downtime, and you can go home, return to work, or exercise immediately after the procedure.

Frequently asked questions

Q. How do injections and IV drips differ?

An injection delivers a small amount over a short time (a few minutes) and is highly fast-acting, while an IV drip delivers a relatively large amount over time (30 to 60 minutes). The best method differs depending on your goal and the ingredients.

Q. How often should I receive treatment?

It depends on your goal. If you are after fast-acting effects such as fatigue recovery or hangover relief, receive it whenever needed; if your goal is whitening or anti-aging, we recommend regular visits once or twice a week.

Q. May I eat and drink on the day of treatment?

Yes, there are no special restrictions on eating or drinking before or after the procedure. However, treatment on an empty stomach can make you feel unwell, so please have a light meal before you come in.

Q. Is it covered by insurance?

IV drips and injections for cosmetic purposes are not covered by insurance (self-pay treatment). However, for medical purposes such as improving liver function, there are cases where insurance applies. Please check with a physician for details.

Q. Can I combine multiple menus?

Yes, you can combine multiple menus according to your goals. A physician will recommend the optimal combination.
