Dermatology ClinicGlutathione IV Therapy in Busan, Korea An antioxidant drip, known in Korea as Baekok, for brighter-looking, refreshed skin
Glutathione is an antioxidant your body already makes. As an IV, it is given in a higher concentration after a medical check. At JRYN Seomyeon it is part of the Whitening Care package, ₩190,000 .
What does a glutathione IV do?
Glutathione is the body’s own master antioxidant, made from three amino acids and found in almost every cell. Given by IV drip, it is used in Korean clinics to support a brighter, more even-looking complexion and to help skin look less tired, often together with vitamin C. Evidence for skin lightening is modest and results vary, so it is best seen as supportive care, not a guaranteed whitening treatment.
At JRYN Seomyeon, the glutathione IV (Baekok) is included in the Whitening Care package at ₩190,000 , together with vitamin C, LDM (12 minutes), oxygen toning, LED and a pack. Dr. Yoon checks your health and suitability before any IV.

How much is a glutathione IV in Busan?
At JRYN Seomyeon, the glutathione IV is included in the Whitening Care package at ₩190,000, with vitamin C, LDM, oxygen toning, LED and a pack. A standalone glutathione IV is not on the fixed price list, so ask the doctor at consultation.
Does a glutathione IV whiten skin?
It may support a brighter, more even-looking complexion, but results are modest and vary between people. It does not permanently change your natural skin colour or clear melasma and spots on its own.
How long does a glutathione IV take?
The drip itself usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. With the facial steps in the Whitening Care package, plan a little longer for the whole visit.
How many sessions do I need?
One session can leave skin looking fresher, but any brightening tends to build over a series. The doctor suggests an interval that suits your health and how long you are in Busan.
Is a glutathione IV safe?
It is generally well tolerated after proper screening, but any IV carries risks such as bruising, infection or allergic reaction. People with asthma or a history of reactions should tell the doctor, and it is not given during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Can glutathione be combined with vitamin C?
Yes, they are often given together, and vitamin C is part of the Whitening Care package. The doctor decides whether the combination suits you.
Can I go sightseeing after the IV?
Yes. Most people carry on with their day straight away. If you feel tired or lightheaded, rest for a while and drink water.
