About

What is the Dear Vital Line?

The Dear Vital Line is our signature set of five intravenous wellness programs, each with a defined composition rather than an improvised mix. An infusion takes about twenty minutes, needs no anesthesia, and lets you return to your day immediately. These are supportive wellness programs. None of them treats a disease.

The line is organised around three ideas: glow, balance and energy. Intravenous vitamin and antioxidant programs are widely offered around the world, but the clinical evidence for cosmetic and wellness outcomes is still emerging, and quality evidence is thinner than the marketing around it. We publish the composition of every program so you can judge it, ask questions about it, and decline it.

What we will not do is imply that a drip fixes fatigue at its source, replaces sleep, treats an illness or lightens skin tone on its own. Responses vary from person to person, and a program is only prescribed when a director agrees it is a reasonable addition to what you are already doing.

The Five Programs

Five compositions, five intentions

Each program is a fixed formula with a stated purpose. You are told exactly what is in the bag before it is hung.

NO. 1 — GLOW

Dear Glow Reset

Glutathione with alpha-lipoic acid, both antioxidants. Chosen by patients focused on skin-brightening support and an even, rested-looking complexion. We do not describe it as skin-lightening, and the composition notes below explain why.

NO. 2 — ENERGY

Dear Energy Booster

Vitamin C with a B-complex preparation and fursultiamine, the activated form of vitamin B1. Requested for general nutritional support and wellness support through a demanding stretch of work or travel.

NO. 3 — BALANCE

Dear Slim Balance

An L-arginine composition, requested alongside body-focused goals for circulation and metabolic support. It is not a weight-loss treatment. It does not replace training or diet either, and we say so when someone asks for it in place of both.

NO. 4 — RECOVERY

Dear Recovery Charge

A fursultiamine composition, absorbed more readily than standard thiamine. Requested after accumulated fatigue — long flights, night shifts, a heavy schedule — as recovery-oriented wellness support.

NO. 5 — DAILY

Dear Daily Nutrition

A multivitamin cocktail: vitamin C, B-complex vitamins including B1, B5, B6 and B12, plus magnesium and calcium. The broadest of the five, chosen for routine hydration and nutritional balance.

CHOOSING

Which one, and whether at all

The choice follows your consultation, your current health, your medications and what you are actually trying to change. If none of the five fits your goal, that is the answer you will get, and no program is presented as necessary.

Composition

What is in each program

Ingredient facts, stated plainly — with the limits of the evidence stated just as plainly.

Glutathione

A peptide built from three amino acids — glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine — that acts as an antioxidant in the body. It is the ingredient most associated with skin-brightening support in aesthetic practice, and it is also the ingredient with the most contested evidence: published reviews question both the strength of the cosmetic effect and the adequacy of safety data for intravenous use. We describe it as supportive, and we say so at consultation.

Alpha-lipoic acid

A coenzyme involved in energy metabolism with antioxidant activity. In the Glow Reset composition it accompanies glutathione rather than replacing it.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and B-complex

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation and functions as an antioxidant; B-complex vitamins participate in energy metabolism. Neither is a medicine. An infusion supplements intake, and it does not create energy on its own.

Fursultiamine (an active form of vitamin B1)

Fursultiamine is a lipophilic derivative of thiamine, and more of it is absorbed than from the standard form. It appears in both the Energy Booster and the Recovery Charge compositions, which is why the two feel related.

L-arginine hydrochloride

L-arginine takes part in metabolic pathways and in circulation. It is the defining ingredient of the Slim Balance program, and that name describes the goal patients arrive with. It promises nothing about the result.

Magnesium and calcium

Minerals included in the Daily Nutrition cocktail alongside the vitamin mix, relevant to muscle and nerve function as ordinary nutrients.

Compositions are published as supplied by the clinic. Nothing here is a claim to treat, cure or prevent a disease, and responses vary between individuals.

What a director checks before a Vital program

01 — THE FULL ARSENAL

Where the Vital Line sits among our devices

Lasers, HIFU, radiofrequency, fillers and boosters are all on the treatment floor here. A Vital program is offered as a complement to one of them, and frequently it is not offered at all: pigmentation, texture and laxity are answered by the devices, and the bag simply drops out of the plan.

02 — DIAGNOSIS FIRST

Imaging first, when the goal is skin

If your reason for coming is how your skin looks, the face is imaged before anything is prescribed. EVE Muse captures it in 3D under five light sources, which gives a baseline for pigment, texture and vascular tone. Where that baseline points somewhere outside the Vital Line, the consultation says so and the program is dropped.

03 — DIRECTOR-PERFORMED

Screening, then the prescription

Programs are prescribed and performed by our directors after screening your history, current medications and allergies. Infusion is a medical act; it belongs with a doctor who can decline it, and director-performed care is the standard here.

Caution

Before a Vital program, and after it

Tell us about any existing medical condition and every medication you take before booking.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding, anticoagulant therapy and a history of allergy all require consultation first.
Redness, bruising, swelling or pain at the injection site can occur and is usually temporary.
Some people feel drowsy or a little tired afterwards; this too is generally short-lived.
If you suspect an allergic reaction at any point, contact the clinic immediately.

FAQ

The Dear Vital Line, answered

What exactly is an IV wellness program?
A defined mix of vitamins, antioxidants or amino acids delivered intravenously over about twenty minutes, prescribed after a medical screening. At our clinic it is framed as wellness support alongside sleep, nutrition and your existing skin plan — not as therapy for a diagnosed condition, and not as something everyone needs.
Is there real evidence that these infusions work?
The evidence is still emerging and it is uneven. Glutathione for skin brightening has been reviewed in the literature with mixed conclusions and questions about the adequacy of intravenous safety data, and consumer intravenous vitamin therapy in general has been examined critically. The references sit at the bottom of this page so you can read the state of the science before you choose.
Does the Glow Reset program whiten skin?
No, and we will not describe it that way. Glutathione is an antioxidant associated with skin-brightening support, and published reviews disagree about how much visible difference it makes. If pigmentation is your actual concern, a treatment that acts directly on pigment is what we will recommend, and that is what your consultation will steer you towards.
How long does a session take, and is there downtime?
About twenty minutes, seated, with no anesthesia. You can return to work, sightseeing or dinner immediately afterwards. Some people feel briefly drowsy, so plan accordingly if you are driving straight after.
How much does the Dear Vital Line cost?
Programs run from ₩100,000 (≈ $70) per session for Dear Glow Reset and Dear Recovery Charge, ₩150,000 (≈ $105) for Dear Energy Booster, and ₩200,000 (≈ $145) for Dear Slim Balance or Dear Daily Nutrition. Prices exclude VAT as published by the clinic; ask us to confirm the final figure before your session.
Which program should I choose?
That is decided at consultation. Skin-focused goals point towards Glow Reset, accumulated fatigue towards Recovery Charge or Energy Booster, body and circulation goals towards Slim Balance, and general nutritional balance towards Daily Nutrition. If your goal is better served by something outside this line, we will say so.
How often can I have one?
Frequency is set individually after screening, based on your health, what else you are having done and how you responded last time. We do not sell open-ended courses of infusions, and we do not encourage a schedule you have no medical reason to keep.
Are there side effects?
Redness, bruising, swelling or pain at the injection site can occur and is usually temporary, and some people feel drowsy or tired for a short period. Allergic reactions are uncommon but possible, which is why history and medication are reviewed first and why you should contact us immediately if you suspect one.
Who should not have an IV program here?
Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, taking anticoagulants, or with a history of allergy needs consultation before any infusion is considered, and some people will simply be advised against it. Existing conditions and current medications are reviewed as a matter of course, and a director can decline the program.
Can I combine an infusion with a treatment on the same visit?
Often yes, and many patients do it while they are already at our clinic for lifting, skin or filler work. The combination is confirmed by your director, who decides the order and whether the same day makes sense at all.
Can I have it on the day I arrive in Seoul?
Usually yes, subject to the screening. Consultation and infusion together fit comfortably into an hour, and we are open 365 days a year including weekends and public holidays, which suits short trips and tight itineraries.
Do international visitors pay more for a Vital program, and how do I book one from abroad?
No. The same published list applies to everyone, from ₩100,000 (≈ $70) for Dear Glow Reset to ₩200,000 (≈ $145) for Dear Slim Balance and Dear Daily Nutrition, with KRW as what you pay and USD shown only as an approximate reference. Send the consultation form below with your travel dates, your current medication and any allergy history, so a director can decide in advance which of the five compositions is appropriate and whether any of them is. Nothing is added to your bill that was not discussed with you first.

Scientific Evidence

Science behind intravenous vitamin and antioxidant programs

We publish the references that matter here, including the critical ones. The literature on intravenous glutathione and consumer vitamin infusions is genuinely mixed: reviews have examined skin-brightening effects with cautious conclusions, have raised concerns about the adequacy of intravenous safety data, and have questioned the wider consumer practice.

That is why the Dear Vital Line is described as wellness support with the evidence still emerging, and never as a treatment. All references carry verifiable DOIs from indexed journals and are listed for information only, not as endorsement of any outcome for any individual.
