GLUTATHIONE THERAPY

Glutathione is a potent antioxidant that safeguards the body by neutralizing reactive oxygen molecules and free radicals. Over time, it has been utilized in preventing and treating cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular ailments. The human body naturally produces glutathione. However, factors like poor diet, heightened pollution, stress, smoking, trauma, aging, infection, and radiation can deplete the body's glutathione reserves. In addition to its numerous benefits, it has also been found that glutathione is safe and effective for brightening and evening out skin tone.

What is Glutathione therapy?

Glutathione is often combined with Vitamin C and delivered via intravenous administration for enhanced effectiveness compared to oral administration. This potent blend of Glutathione and Vitamin C combats free radical damage, promotes cell health and integrity, and prevents collagen damage. By reversing oxidative cell damage, this combination improves skin health and results in a more even-toned complexion.

How does Glutathione therapy improve my skin tone?

Glutathione accelerates cell turnover, replacing damaged cells with new ones, resulting in a bright, even, glowing complexion. It also hinders the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, leading to a brighter appearance.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions required varies significantly from person to person. The specific dosage of glutathione administered will also differ for each patient. Typically, a regimen of 6 sessions is recommended, twice a week, followed by maintenance sessions tailored to individual responses.

Are there any side effects of the treatment?

Glutathione is a naturally occurring molecule in the body. The chances of experiencing side effects from replenishing Glutathione levels through intravenous therapy are very low. Your treatment is closely monitored and adjusted based on your body's response. Mild bruising and pain at the injection site may occur, and some patients may experience nausea, headaches, or mild diarrhea after the injection.

Is glutathione therapy FDA apprroved for skin whitening?

It's crucial to understand that glutathione injections are not FDA-approved. Due to limited scientific studies providing substantial evidence of its effects and safety, choosing to undergo this injection is a decision made at your own discretion.

In which conditions should glutathione therapy be avoided?

Glutathione should not be administered to individuals undergoing cancer chemotherapy, as it enhances liver function in processing chemicals, potentially reducing the effectiveness of chemotherapy. It is also advised not to administer glutathione simultaneously with other intravenous products.

Will my results be permanent?

The results are temporary. Once you've reached your desired skin tone, we'll create a personalized maintenance plan for you. To sustain elevated antioxidant levels, it's essential to maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and avoid factors that harm skin health, such as smoking, alcohol, and irregular sleep patterns. Consistently using sunscreen and limiting sun exposure are also key.

Is it necessary to take oral glutathione tablets after injection therapy?

Glutathione injections are more effective than oral tablets for skin brightening, but frequent injections are not advised. Therefore, after 5-6 doses of glutathione injections, results are sustained with oral glutathione tablets, a healthy diet, and a personalized daily skincare routine.

Can I start oral glutathione tablets on my own?

Before starting glutathione therapy, it's essential to undergo basic blood investigations and provide a detailed medical history. Your dermatologist will discuss the expected outcomes, safety considerations, potential side effects, and the duration of the therapy. Therefore, it's advisable to consult with a dermatologist before initiating this treatment.
