How do glutathione drips work?
Glutathione is an antioxidant your body makes every day. In the skin it helps slow the enzyme that makes dark pigment, which is why it is popular for brightening. A drip delivers it straight into the bloodstream, often with vitamin C, while you sit back and relax.
Results differ from person to person and fade once sessions stop, so your doctor pairs your drip with daily sunscreen and treatments proven for pigmentation. That is how we build a plan for brighter, more even skin.
Who shouldn’t have glutathione drips?
It isn’t suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with liver or kidney disease, asthma or a history of allergic reactions, or during cancer treatment. Your doctor reviews your health and medicines before your first drip.
Your glutathione drip, step by step
- Free consultation: your doctor checks your health, skin and goals, and if a drip suits you.
- Preparation: a fine cannula is placed in a vein in your arm.
- Drip: a slow infusion while you relax, taking 20–30 minutes.
- Course: usually weekly sessions, with the number set by your doctor.
- Review: your doctor checks progress and adjusts your skin plan.
Results and recovery
If your skin responds, you can notice a fresher, brighter look after a few sessions; results differ from person to person, and your doctor reviews them with you. Any change fades gradually after the course, so daily sunscreen and good skincare help you hold on to your glow.
You can go back to your day straight away. A small bruise where the cannula went in can appear. Tell the clinic at once about any rash, itching, breathlessness or stomach upset.
