IV Glutathione therapy
IV glutathione therapy is the process of giving a powerful antioxidant called glutathione intravenously (through a vein) into the body. Glutathione is a molecule that occurs naturally in the body and helps prevent damage to cells. It also plays an important role in detoxification processes.
Use in Skin Diseases:
IV glutathione therapy is specifically used in the following skin diseases and conditions:
1. *Melasma and Hyperpigmentation:* Glutathione can help reduce dark spots on the skin by suppressing melanin production.
2. * Acne and Acne Scars:* Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, it can support the healing of acne and acne scars.
3. * Eczema and Psoriasis:* Its antioxidant properties can help reduce inflammation in the skin and relieve the symptoms of such chronic skin diseases.
Cosmetic Uses.
IV glutathione has become popular cosmetically, especially for the purpose of skin lightening and even skin tone. This treatment may be preferred to make the skin look brighter, younger and healthier. It can also help delay the signs of ageing by reducing the effect of free radicals in the skin.
However, there is some controversy in the medical literature about the efficacy and safety of glutathione therapy. Therefore, it is important to consult a dermatologist or a specialist doctor before starting treatment. A professional assessment is necessary as treatment may have individualised side effects and risks.
