💡 At a Glance
· Hospital IV drips are broadly understood as either antioxidant-based (glutathione, Cinderella, placental extract) or condition/nutrition-based (garlic, licorice, vitamins).
· Garlic, licorice, and vitamin injections use prescription medicines with relatively clear approved indications by ingredient.
· The key question is not “Which injection is the best?” but “What suits my current goals and condition?”
· For those who want a choice that fits them rather than a trend, and who want the care they need without excess.
Six familiar IV drips, compared at a glance
“Whitening injection,” “fatigue recovery injection,” “garlic injection”... The names are familiar, but choosing one can still be confusing. The ingredients and effects are different. Here, we organize the six types at a glance first.
| Injection | Main ingredient | Who looks for it | Domestic approval characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baekok Injection | Glutathione | Care for a clear, even skin tone | Whitening is an off-label purpose |
| Cinderella Injection | Alpha-lipoic acid | Condition care for a busy daily life | Beauty use is an off-label purpose |
| Placenta Injection | Placental extract ingredient | Vitality and condition care | Liver function improvement / menopause (approved products) |
| Garlic Injection | Fursultiamine (vitamin B1) | Vitality and energy metabolism care | Prevention and treatment of vitamin B1 deficiency |
| Licorice Injection | Glycyrrhizin complex | Allergy and liver condition care | Adjunct treatment for allergic skin diseases / liver function improvement |
| Vitamin Injection | Vitamin C, B vitamins, etc. | Nutrition balance and condition care | Supplementation for deficiency by ingredient |
Antioxidant-based — skin tone and vitality care
Baekok Injection — For those who want to care for a clear skin tone
Glutathione is a 대표 antioxidant ingredient found naturally in the body, and it is the IV drip most often sought by people interested in skin tone. However, Dioré does not present Baekok Injection as something that simply “whitens” the skin. If skin tone care is your goal, satisfaction is higher when you plan how to combine the drip with topical care and UV protection. The key is not one injection, but the combination within your overall skin goals.
Cinderella Injection — Condition care for busy daily life
Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant involved in energy metabolism, and many people seek it for condition care during times when recovery feels slow. Dioré does not present it like a “universal fatigue remedy,” but first checks your recent condition and rhythm to discuss whether it is needed now.

Placenta Injection — For those who want to consider vitality and condition together
This injection uses placental extract ingredients derived from human placenta, and in Korea, approved prescription medicines such as Laennec and Melsmon are used. Many people manage it in a series because they are interested in overall vitality, and Dioré clearly distinguishes between the properties of the ingredient and its intended use.
Condition/nutrition-based — IV drips with relatively clear evidence
Garlic Injection — Vitality and energy metabolism
“Garlic Injection” is not made from garlic; its main ingredient is fursultiamine, a fat-soluble vitamin B1. It got its nickname because a garlic-like scent is briefly noticed during injection. Vitamin B1 is essential for the body's energy metabolism, and supplementation during strenuous physical activity or periods of high depletion is an officially approved indication. It is an IV drip that people seeking vitality and condition care often choose without much burden.
Licorice Injection — Allergy and liver condition care
The glycyrrhizin complex ingredient in “Licorice Injection” is an approved prescription medicine recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for adjunct therapy for allergic skin diseases such as hives and eczema, and for improving liver function in chronic liver disease. It is a long-used ingredient with anti-inflammatory properties, and people interested in skin condition or liver care seek it out. However, at high doses, blood pressure and electrolyte changes are possible, so checking your personal condition is important.
Vitamin Injection — Nutrition balance and condition
This is a program that delivers high-dose vitamin C, B vitamins, and more intravenously. It is one of the most commonly sought IV drips for people with irregular meals or who need condition care, and it is also well suited to custom planning when combined with other programs.
How Dioré guides IV drips
As a premium clinic in Gangnam, Dioré Clinic follows a simple principle: we look first at whether it is right for you, not whether it is trendy.
There are many kinds of IV drips and the names sound glamorous, but what truly matters is “What does my current skin and condition goal need?” Dioré does not recommend every injection unconditionally. Through consultation, we confirm your goals and, if needed, combine multiple programs to design the most efficient direction together. Many people who visit Dioré from Korea and abroad say that this “moderate guidance” is exactly why they trust us.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Q1. What is the difference between Garlic Injection and Vitamin Injection?
Garlic Injection focuses on fat-soluble vitamin B1 (fursultiamine) for energy metabolism and vitality care, while Vitamin Injection focuses on supplying nutrition balance such as vitamin C and B vitamins. Depending on your goal, we can guide you to use one alone or in combination.
Q2. Can anyone receive Licorice Injection?
The glycyrrhizin ingredient may raise blood pressure or cause electrolyte changes at high doses, so people with hypertension or kidney/heart disease need especially careful prior confirmation. Please be sure to share your medical history during consultation.
Q3. How many sessions are needed to see effects from IV drips?
It varies depending on condition and skin goals, and frequent habitual sessions are not recommended. Rest and nutrition come first in daily life, and when care is still needed, we decide an appropriate schedule together.
Q4. Can multiple injections be given together?
Yes, combinations are possible depending on the goal. However, because ingredient selection and your personal condition must be considered, a customized plan through consultation is recommended rather than making combinations on your own.
Q5. Can I receive them if I am pregnant or have an underlying condition?
Whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding and any underlying conditions (liver, kidney, heart disease, allergy history, etc.) directly affect program suitability. Please inform us in advance so we can check safe options together.
