A SAMBO VENTEC HB-101 hyperbaric oxygen chamber, nine IV infusions such as NAD+ and high-dose vitamin C (ASCOR), and HemaPure sessions form the wellness menu at ENTER Plastic Surgery in Seoul. IV therapy in Korea here is offered as supportive care. Published reviews have not shown clear benefits for healthy people, and an oxygen session runs 60–90 minutes.

Treatments

What the wellness menu includes and how the parts differ

The treatments gathered here fall into two groups. One group works from the inside: fluids, vitamins and coenzymes given into a vein, oxygen breathed under pressure, and the HemaPure session. The other group is aimed at the body's contour, namely cellulite, small fat pockets and underarm sweat, and each of those has a page of its own. Nothing on this menu replaces care for an illness, and none of it is a cosmetic result in itself.

IV drips: nine infusions and one vitamin D shot

Each infusion is a bag of fluid with the listed ingredients added, given through a fine cannula in a vein of the hand or forearm. According to the clinic's guidance, a drip takes 30 to 60 minutes, needs no anesthesia, leaves no downtime and can be repeated at one to two week intervals when needed. Flying home on the same day is possible.

Vitamin D injectionVitamin D, given into a muscle

The evidence behind these mixes is thin. Looking at vitamin infusions in people without a deficiency or disease, the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin found in 2023 no good-quality proof of need or benefit, and it pointed to possible harm from doses far above the body's usual levels. For NAD+, a 2025 review in Nature Metabolism described human tissue data as scarce and warned that results in rodents do not transfer easily (Vinten, 2025). A 2026 systematic review located no clinical trial at all that tested intravenous NAD+ for aging or wellness outcomes (Gallagher, 2026). The ingredient lists above are therefore a description of what goes into the bag, with no promise of what comes out of it. The Comeback mix contains a corticosteroid, so mention diabetes or an upcoming operation before choosing it.

Hyperbaric oxygen in the SAMBO VENTEC HB-101 chamber

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) means breathing concentrated oxygen while the air pressure around you is raised above normal inside a sealed chamber. Hospitals use it for specific conditions such as decompression sickness and certain hard-to-heal wounds. The clinic's chamber is a SAMBO VENTEC HB-101, kept in the wellness room on the 10th floor.

One session lasts 60 to 90 minutes. You lie or sit inside while the pressure rises slowly, and a feeling of fullness in the ears, similar to a plane descending, is expected while it changes. The clinic uses the chamber mainly as a recovery aid around surgery, aimed at swelling and bruising, scheduled as 3 to 10 sessions on consecutive or alternate days. By the clinic's own account the effect of a single session lasts a few days. There is no review in this page's reference list that tests HBOT for cosmetic recovery, so the sessions are offered as supportive care with no promise of faster healing.

HemaPure sessions

HemaPure appears on the clinic menu as a single session or a ten-session package. The clinic has not supplied a description of the method that this page can verify, and no published review of it is cited here. For that reason this page gives only the name and the price. Ask what the session involves, how long it takes and what it is meant to do before you book it.

Body treatments in the same group: cellulite, fat pockets and underarm sweat

Three body treatments sit under the wellness heading. The cellulite program combines an energy device, subcision of the fibrous bands under the skin and a collagen-stimulating injection, planned as three or five sessions. Fat dissolving injections place a solution into small pockets of fat on the face, arms, thighs or abdomen over 10 to 15 minutes, across three to five visits. miraDry uses microwave energy on the underarm sweat glands under local anesthesia, with flying home possible two to three days later.

Body contouring without surgery carries a general caution. A review in Aesthetic Surgery Journal found little high-level evidence behind non-invasive body contouring devices as a class (Nassab, 2015), which is one reason the clinic describes these programs in terms of sessions and limits. Results differ between people, and cellulite in particular does not disappear completely with repeated sessions.

When a wellness session should wait

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • A cold, blocked sinuses or recent ear surgery, which make pressure changes in the chamber painful
  • A collapsed lung in the past, or fear of enclosed spaces, before any chamber session
  • G6PD deficiency, kidney stones or weak kidneys before a high-dose vitamin C drip
  • Heart or kidney failure, where extra fluid in a drip is a strain

Fitting wellness sessions into a stay in Seoul

A single drip or one chamber session takes up part of an afternoon and does not limit travel the same day. A chamber course works differently: 3 to 10 sessions on consecutive or alternate days means staying in Seoul for at least several days, so it fits best into a longer visit. English-speaking staff are available at the clinic, which sits on Gangnam-daero near Nonhyeon Station.

FAQ

Wellness and IV therapy questions from visitors to Seoul

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

It is breathing concentrated oxygen inside a sealed chamber while the air pressure is raised above normal. At ENTER Plastic Surgery the chamber is a SAMBO VENTEC HB-101 and one session lasts 60 to 90 minutes. Hospitals use the method for conditions such as decompression sickness; its use for cosmetic recovery has limited research behind it.

Is there downtime after an IV drip or an oxygen session?

No. The clinic's guidance is that you return to your normal day straight after either one, and no anesthesia (anaesthesia, as spelled in the UK) is needed. A small bruise where the cannula went in is possible after a drip, and ear pressure settles once the chamber returns to normal pressure.

How many days in Seoul does a hyperbaric oxygen course need?

That depends on the number of sessions. The clinic schedules 3 to 10 chamber sessions on consecutive or alternate days, so a full course needs several days in Seoul. A single session or a single drip still allows a flight home on the same day, according to the clinic's guidance.

Does an IV drip help if my vitamin levels are normal?

The evidence says probably not. A 2023 review in Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin found no good-quality proof that high-dose vitamin infusions help people without a deficiency or illness, and it noted possible harm from very high doses. The clinic offers the drips as supportive care, without health claims.

What is an NAD+ IV?

It is an infusion of NAD+, a coenzyme cells use to make energy, given into a vein in a 50 mg or 100 mg dose. Levels fall with age, which is why it is marketed for wellness, but a 2026 systematic review found no clinical trial testing intravenous NAD+ for aging or wellness outcomes.

Is HemaPure the same as Hemopure?

No. HemaPure is a session on this clinic's wellness menu, sold singly or as ten sessions. Hemopure is an unrelated product, an oxygen-carrying blood substitute, and the similar spelling causes mix-ups in search results. Ask the clinic to explain the HemaPure session before booking it.

Is ENTER Plastic Surgery a medical clinic or a spa?

It is a medical clinic. ENTER Plastic Surgery is a plastic surgery clinic registered with Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare to treat international patients (registration M-2023-01-08-7461). Surgery there is performed by Dr. Jang Jin-woo, a Korean board-certified plastic surgeon, and the drips are prescription medicines given into a vein.

Are the drip and chamber prices shown before VAT?

Yes. Each card on this page shows the fee before tax, and 10% VAT is added at payment. Drips are priced per visit, while the oxygen chamber and HemaPure have a one-session fee and a ten-session package fee. A written quote lists each item you choose separately.

Who should not use the hyperbaric chamber?

Pregnancy, a cold or blocked sinuses, recent ear surgery or a past collapsed lung are reasons to wait or skip it, because pressure changes can cause pain or injury. If small enclosed spaces make you anxious, mention it beforehand. Tell the clinic about every medical condition before your first session.

Can I message the clinic before I travel to Seoul?

Yes. Send the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with the treatments you are interested in and your travel dates. English-speaking staff are available at the clinic, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Is a deposit needed for a ten-session package?

Deposit and cancellation terms are not published on this page. Ask for them in writing before you pay for a package, and check how unused sessions are handled if your travel plans change.

The staff are incredibly friendly, and the consultation was very thorough. I was very worried since it was my first procedure, but the director explained the aftercare in detail, so I felt completely confident trusting them!!
