CHARACTERISTICSWhat Is a Methylene Blue Infusion?
Among the body’s organs, the brain consumes a relatively large amount of energy and oxygen, and brain neurons are prone to oxidation. Therefore, regulating energy metabolism and countering oxidative stress are essential for maintaining brain health.
At our clinic, we use a methylene blue IV drip—formulated with medical-grade methylene blue—to promote brain health and support concentration and cognitive function.
What Is Methylene Blue?
In recent years,
・Supports energy metabolism by targeting mitochondrial* function
・Has antioxidant properties and protects cells from oxidative stress
・Protects nerve cells and supports the function of neurotransmitters
This aspect is also drawing attention.
Methylene blue is gaining attention in Europe and the United States not only for intravenous infusions but also as an oral medication and dietary supplement.
*Mitochondria… Small organelles found inside cells that produce the energy the body needs
A treatment that focuses on the brain while also providing holistic care for the entire body
In other countries, methylene blue IV therapy is sometimes used as one option to address issues such as brain fog*, fatigue, and decreased physical performance. Globally, it is considered one of the IV therapies expected to provide systemic anti-aging care at the cellular level.
*Brain fog… a condition in which you feel as if your brain is shrouded in fog, leading to a decline in concentration and cognitive function
Benefits
MERITMethylene blue can be efficiently delivered into the body via an IV drip.

KEY FEATURESRigorous Quality Control and Dosage Adjustment
Our clinic uses only medical-grade formulations for methylene blue IV infusions. We dissolve a formulation containing 10 mg of methylene blue and administer it over approximately 30 minutes.
In addition, to prevent the rare risks associated with methylene blue IV therapy, we always perform a preliminary G6PD blood test before the first treatment. Since we use a test kit, the results are available immediately. We have established a comprehensive testing system to ensure safety while providing methylene blue IV therapy.
Inner Care: A Holistic Approach to Beauty and Health
Bianca Clinic places equal emphasis on inner care as well as external treatments. This is because we believe that outer beauty and inner well-being are two sides of the same coin, and that maintaining a balanced approach to both leads to optimal physical and mental health.
In addition to concerns about brain health—such as work or study performance and brain fog—please feel free to consult with us about any other physical or mental health issues that are on your mind. Through treatment plans tailored to your lifestyle, we’ll help you restore balance from the inside out and bring out your natural beauty and well-being.
Offering a wide range of cosmetic medicine treatments to support your health
Our clinic offers a wide range of aesthetic medicine treatments to support your health, including intravenous methylene blue therapy. Our physicians, who possess specialized expertise in aesthetic medicine, can propose customized treatment plans tailored to each patient based on their consultation and test results.
In addition to methylene blue IV therapy, our doctors will provide guidance on high-dose vitamin C IV therapy, peptide therapy, and orthomolecular nutrition therapy, depending on each patient’s condition and goals. Whether you’d like to “hear a general overview first” or “just learn about the cost and treatment schedule,” we’ll tailor our explanation to your needs, so please feel free to ask.

Frequently Asked Questions About Methylene Blue Infusions (for Brain Function Activation)
Q&ADoes a methylene blue IV drip hurt?
You may feel a slight prick when the IV needle is inserted. You may also experience some pain in the vein, but this can be alleviated by adjusting the IV drip rate, so please let us know right away.
Can you really feel a difference after just one IV treatment?
The extent to which patients notice changes varies from person to person. At our clinic, some patients receive continuous methylene blue IV infusions about once every two weeks to once a month.
Is it true that the color of your urine or stool changes after a methylene blue IV infusion?
Yes, that's true. After receiving an IV, the color of your urine, sweat, and stool may temporarily change to blue or green. If you have any concerns, please consult your doctor.
Are there people who can't receive a methylene blue IV drip?
This treatment is not available to individuals with G6PD deficiency, those currently taking antidepressants (such as SSRIs or SNRIs), pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those with severe kidney dysfunction.
Can I get this as part of a package with other beauty IV treatments?
Yes, you can receive this treatment in combination with other beauty IV drips. However, depending on your physical condition or any medications you are currently taking, there may be some beauty IV drips that you cannot receive, so please consult your doctor for details.
What is the difference between a methylene blue IV drip and supplements?
An IV drip delivers substances directly into the bloodstream, while supplements are taken orally. Because they are metabolized differently in the body, it is important to choose the appropriate method based on your goals and condition.
Why is a blood test required before an IV?
This is to determine whether the patient has G6PD deficiency, which carries a risk of hemolytic anemia, and to decide whether the procedure can be performed.
Can I get it done on the same day without an appointment?
Depending on the day’s availability, we may be able to accommodate you, but please note that we may not be able to do so depending on our stock of products. To ensure we have available slots for consultations and treatments, we ask that you make a reservation in advance online or by phone.
