What it is

Biotin infusion support is an intravenous (IV) therapy that delivers biotin (vitamin B7 or vitamin H) directly into the bloodstream. Biotin is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin that plays a vital role in cell metabolism, hair and nail growth, and skin health.

While biotin is available through diet (eggs, nuts, whole grains, organ meats) and oral supplements, absorption through the gut may not always be efficient. IV infusion ensures 100% absorption and faster effects, bypassing the digestive system.

In Korea, biotin infusions are widely used as part of skin and hair health protocols, often combined with multivitamin drips, zinc, glutathione, or NAD+ infusions for total rejuvenation.

Why it’s done

Patients undergo biotin infusion support for:

• Hair growth & strengthening → Helps reduce hair thinning, breakage, and shedding.
• Nail health → Strengthens brittle nails.
• Skin vitality → Improves hydration and supports acne control.
• Energy metabolism → Supports the conversion of nutrients into energy.
• Deficiency correction → For patients with poor diet, chronic illness, or malabsorption issues.
• Adjunct to aesthetic treatments → Supports recovery and outcomes of dermatology and hair loss therapies.

In Korea, biotin infusions are especially popular in hair restoration programs for men and women.

Alternatives

Other options for improving biotin levels and skin/hair health include:

• Oral biotin supplements → Capsules or tablets.
• Topical treatments
  • Shampoos, serums, or creams containing biotin.
• Combination vitamin therapies
  • B-complex oral or IV supplements.
  • Zinc, vitamin D, and collagen support.
• Other IV drips
  • Glutathione (skin brightening and detox).
  • Vitamin C (antioxidant, immune, and brightening).
  • NAD+ (cellular rejuvenation).

Preparation

Before receiving a biotin infusion in Korea:

• Consultation → Assessment of hair, nail, and skin condition.
• Medical history → Review for allergies, metabolic disorders, or current supplements.
• Pre-infusion care
  • Stay hydrated.
  • Eat a light meal to reduce risk of nausea.
• Expectation setting → Biotin infusion provides gradual improvements and works best with consistent sessions.

How it’s Done

The procedure is simple and takes place in a dermatology or wellness clinic:

1. Preparation → Patient seated in a comfortable chair.
2. IV insertion → A vein in the arm accessed with a small needle.
3. Infusion → Biotin solution administered over 20–40 minutes.
   • Often mixed with other nutrients like zinc, vitamin C, or B-complex vitamins.
4. Post-care → Bandage applied; patients can resume daily activities immediately.

⮕ Frequency: Weekly sessions for 4–6 weeks, followed by monthly maintenance.

Recovery

Recovery is quick with no downtime:

• Possible mild effects → Slight metallic taste, nausea, or warmth during infusion.
• Short-term benefits → Boost in energy and skin glow.
• Long-term benefits → Noticeable hair thickening and nail strengthening after 2–3 months of consistent treatment.

Korean clinics often combine recovery with:
✔️ Scalp care treatments (LED therapy, microneedling).
✔️ K-beauty calming skincare for skin balance.
✔️ Nutrition and lifestyle counseling for long-term support.

Complications

Biotin infusion support is safe, but possible mild risks include:

• Temporary redness or irritation at injection site.
• Mild nausea or dizziness during infusion.
• Imbalance with lab tests → High biotin intake may interfere with some blood test results (thyroid, hormone panels).

Korean clinics minimize risks by adjusting dosage, monitoring frequency, and tailoring treatments to individual needs.
