Comfortable treatment room for IV hydration at Umi Clinic, Myeongdong — **30–60 min** Relax in a private room

Quick answer

What is hydration therapy?

Hydration therapy at Umi Clinic means two things: an intravenous (IV) drip of fluids and electrolytes with vitamins such as vitamin C and B complex, given under medical supervision, and hyaluronic acid skin boosters that draw water into dehydrated skin.

Visitors to Seoul often book it after a long flight, a busy itinerary or before an event. It supports how you feel and how your skin looks, but it does not treat illness. See vitamin C IV therapy for a specific drip option.

Your visit

How Hydration Therapy works at Umi

Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.

Consult & health check
The doctor reviews your health, medications and allergies, and checks blood pressure.
Choose the formula
Fluids and vitamins are selected for your needs; skin boosters are planned if dryness is a concern.
IV or booster
A nurse places a small IV line and you rest during the drip; boosters are injected after numbing.
Aftercare
Drink water and rest well. After boosters, avoid make-up for a few hours and saunas for a day.

FAQ

Hydration Therapy questions

Is IV hydration safe?

When prescribed by a doctor after a health check and given by trained staff, it is generally safe. Possible side effects include bruising at the IV site and, rarely, reactions to ingredients.

Can it help with jet lag?

It may help you feel less tired if you are dehydrated after a flight, but sleep, light exposure and water are still the main ways to adjust.

How often should I have skin boosters?

Usually a course of 2–3 sessions about a month apart, then maintenance every few months.

Can I combine it with other treatments?

Yes. Many people have an IV drip while numbing cream works for a laser or booster session.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
