Other in Seoul
Looking for other treatment Seoul options beyond surgery and standard aesthetic procedures? DERNA Clinic, located in Seocho-gu, offers a small but focused category of supportive and regenerative therapies designed to complement facial or body treatments, or simply to support general wellness during a trip to Seoul. This page introduces the two programs currently listed under this category: the DERNA IV Solution and Stem Cell Therapy, and explains what to expect if you are considering either one.
What these treatments are
The "other" category at DERNA Clinic covers non-surgical, supportive therapies that do not fall under nose, face contour, or filler and toxin categories. The DERNA IV Solution is a customized intravenous nutrient program, designed by the clinic's medical staff, that includes signature drip formulas along with optional add-on injections depending on what a patient wants addressed. Stem Cell Therapy is described as a regenerative therapy program, with details and pricing determined during an in-person consultation rather than fixed in advance. Both are positioned as supportive rather than corrective procedures, meaning they are generally not meant to replace a surgical or dermatologic treatment plan but to work alongside one, or to be used independently by patients interested in general wellness support.
Who these treatments suit
IV nutrient therapy is often chosen by travelers who feel fatigued after long flights, patients recovering from a procedure who want additional nutritional support, or anyone interested in a short in-clinic wellness session. Because formulas are customized, the specific ingredients and their intended effect vary by patient and by the consulting doctor's recommendation. Stem cell therapy tends to attract patients interested in longer-term skin or tissue regeneration support, though because pricing and protocol are consultation-based, it is best suited to patients who are prepared to discuss goals openly with a doctor before committing to a plan. Anyone searching for other treatment Seoul options as a add-on to a broader visit, rather than a single standalone reason for travel, will likely find this category the most relevant starting point.
Who should avoid these treatments
IV therapy is generally not appropriate for patients with certain kidney, cardiac, or fluid-balance conditions, or those with known allergies to specific vitamins or additives; anyone with a relevant medical history should disclose it fully during consultation. Pregnant or breastfeeding patients should discuss any IV or regenerative therapy with their doctor before proceeding, since safety data for many additive combinations is limited in these groups. Stem cell therapy, being a more specialized regenerative approach, is not suitable for patients with active infections, certain autoimmune conditions, or those who have not had a chance to discuss expected outcomes realistically with a physician. As with any medical service, individuals with unclear or unrealistic expectations about results should have an honest conversation with the doctor first, since outcomes are not guaranteed and vary from person to person.
How a session goes
For the IV Solution, a typical visit begins with a short consultation to review health history and goals, after which the medical team prepares a customized drip formula. The infusion itself is administered while seated, generally taking a period of time similar to standard outpatient IV sessions, though exact duration depends on the formula and any added injections. For Stem Cell Therapy, the process starts with a dedicated consultation where the doctor evaluates the patient's condition and discusses whether the therapy is appropriate, followed by an individualized treatment plan; because this is consultation-based, the exact protocol and number of sessions differ by patient. In both cases, patients should expect to speak directly with clinical staff about their medical background before any treatment begins.
Downtime and recovery
IV nutrient therapy typically involves little to no downtime; most patients can resume normal daily activities immediately afterward, though some may feel mild fatigue or notice minor bruising at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days. Stem cell therapy recovery depends heavily on the specific protocol chosen and the area treated, and the doctor will outline expected recovery time during the consultation. As with any injection-based procedure, mild redness, tenderness, or swelling at the site is possible and generally temporary. Patients should follow any aftercare instructions given by clinic staff and report unusual symptoms promptly rather than waiting for a follow-up visit.
Pricing
The DERNA IV Solution is listed at 99,000 KRW. Stem Cell Therapy pricing is not fixed and is determined during consultation based on the individual treatment plan. Prices listed do not necessarily include VAT or consultation fees, and patients should confirm the final amount with clinic staff before proceeding. Costs can also vary depending on add-on injections or the scope of a regenerative protocol, so it is reasonable to ask for an itemized estimate in advance.
| Treatment | Price (KRW) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DERNA IV Solution | 99,000 | Includes signature drips; add-on injections available |
| Stem Cell Therapy | Consultation-based | Protocol and pricing determined individually |
Safety
Both therapies are administered by the clinic's medical staff, and treatment decisions are made following a consultation that reviews the patient's health background. As with any injection or infusion-based treatment, there is a possibility of minor side effects such as bruising, soreness, or a temporary reaction at the site of administration; more significant reactions are uncommon but should be reported to clinic staff immediately if they occur. DERNA Clinic operates daily from 10:00 to 22:00, with the exception of a staff training hour on Wednesday mornings from 10:00 to 11:00 when patients are not seen. Patients are encouraged to disclose all current medications, supplements, and health conditions before any treatment, since this information directly affects what the doctor can safely recommend.
