Glutathione Injection: Cost, Benefits, and Side Effects

Over time, the skin begins to show signs of ageing due to exposure to pollutants, sun damage, and the natural ageing process. It appears dull, wrinkled, pigmented, and even saggy due to the loss of skin structural proteins and hyaluronic acid. Various internal and external factors can hasten the inevitable ageing of our skin and make us look older than we are. Thankfully, the cosmetic industry has given us a variety of anti-aging and skin brightening treatments. One of the advanced, minimally invasive treatments for skin rejuvenation is Glutathione injection for skin whitening at Neya Dermatology and Aesthetics.

What is a glutathione?

Glutathione is a natural antioxidant found in our body, produced by the liver. It is a tripeptide, composed of three amino acids- cystine, glycine, and glutamic acid. It is a liver production utilised by the body for numerous activities such as tissue building and repair, assistance in certain proteins and biochemical synthesis, and encouraging normal functioning of the immune system. It can do wonders for the skin.

How does glutathione injection work for skin aesthetic improvement?

With ageing and other factors like anxiety, stress, poor nutrition, and environmental toxins, glutathione levels in the body tend to decline. Glutathione injection helps restore its level to the desired valve. As glutathione is intravenously administered via injection and so it gets substantially and more quickly absorbed by the body than glutathione is taken orally.

Glutathione has anti-inflammatory properties. It can aid in the elimination of free radicals that are damaging to the skin and even detoxification of chemicals like pollutants, drugs, and other toxins.

Therefore, these injections can help lessen superficial aesthetic skin flaws, brighten the skin, and even out skin tone. Furthermore, they can help in treating abrupt acne breakouts and cystic acne.

Generally, a 600 to 1200 mg dose of Glutathione twice a week is recommended by dermatologists to see the desired improvements in the skin. Permanent skin whitening is usually achievable after 8-10 glutathione injections.

Glutathione injections benefits

Glutathione injection has several advantages, including:

• Neutralisation of free radicals

  Glutathione is a remarkable antioxidant that can combat free radicals that damage the skin cells, thereby addressing various cosmetic skin concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, dry skin, saggy skin, and dark spots. The free radical damage to the skin is caused by the skin’s exposure to the sun’s UV rays and pollution.

• Improvement in skin’s firmness and elasticity

  By restoring the levels of glutathione in the body, collagen, and elastin reserves in the skin too get back to optimal levels. Glutathione can hold moisture in the skin which also increases the skin’s elasticity, thereby diminishing the signs of aging.

• Detoxification

  As general health is reflected in the skin, it is crucial to have a healthy liver to ensure healthy skin. Toxins that enter our body get purified by the liver. Glutathione has proven itself to work in the detoxification process carried out by the liver and thereby get rid of skin imperfections like blemishes. It speeds up cell renewal/turnover which is getting rid of the dead skin cells and getting an underlying refreshing skin layer to the surface

• Skin whitening

  Glutathione injection for skin whitening is the most sought-after cosmetic dermatological service. It helps even out the skin tone and reduce the appearance of acne and its scars as well as dark spots by minimising the production of melanin pigment, thereby providing whiter skin. It also improves the skin’s radiance by reducing the lactic acid levels in the blood which further reduces blood pressure and improves blood circulation leaving the skin well-nourished and well fed with oxygen.

• Reduces inflammation

  Many skin issues like hyperpigmentation or acne cause it to become inflamed. Free radical damage can also be caused by the skin’s inflammation. Glutathione injections help lower inflammation, facilitate healthy cell functioning, and shield the skin from any health-related threats.

• Boosts immunity

  Maintaining a healthy immune system is essential for healthy skin. When the immune system is not working at its best, the skin starts presenting concerns like acne, eczema, inflammation, and more.

• Provides youthful appearance

  It can be used for skin rejuvenation and so can be clubbed with other anti-aging skincare services. It brings youthful appearance by improving skin texture, tone, and hydration.
