Frequently asked questions

Mechanism of action of glutathione

Glutathione is an amino acid substance that is naturally present in almost every cell in the human body and is made up of three amino acids: glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine.

It is present within human cells, particularly in the liver, where it is biosynthesized.

Glutathione has a strong antioxidant effect and protects the body from the “aging phenomenon” that occurs when cells oxidize due to various reasons such as stress, UV damage, and heavy drinking.

In addition, its antioxidant effect suppresses the increase of active oxygen (which can damage cells if produced in excess), thereby suppressing the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase and inhibiting the production of melanin.

Since melanin causes blemishes, freckles, and dark spots, glutathione is expected to have whitening and skin-beautifying effects.

In addition, by aiding the detoxification function in the liver, it is expected to have a detoxifying effect, prevent hangovers, and prevent colds.

The relationship between glutathione and beauty

A decrease in glutathione can lead to rough skin, slow metabolism, fatigue, decreased liver function, and other problems, which can accelerate the aging process.

It can also be easily reduced by age, stress, and damage caused by ultraviolet rays.

By regularly injecting it into your body, you can expect to see benefits such as whitening and beautifying your skin, anti-aging effects such as preventing aging, and recovering from fatigue, which will not only improve your skin but also your bodily functions.

Relationship with Vitamin C

Vitamin C is also an antioxidant like glutathione, has high beauty effects, and works well with glutathione.

The antioxidant action of glutathione converts oxidized vitamin C into reduced vitamin C.

This restores the antioxidant capacity of vitamin C that has already been oxidized.

Disadvantages, side effects and risks of injections for skin Tone Up

Redness, swelling, and hardening after injection

Immediately after the injection, you may experience some redness and swelling at the injection site due to the needle being inserted, but this is only temporary as it will dissipate naturally.

In most cases, it will be less noticeable the next day.

Internal bleeding/hematoma

You may experience some internal bleeding, but for most people this will subside within two weeks.

Infection or allergy

Although it is very rare, it can be treated with antibiotics or anti-allergy medications.

Furthermore, our hospital uses glutathione preparations made by a domestic pharmaceutical company with strict quality control, and no allergies or infections have occurred so far.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the treatment take?

It is administered intravenously and takes about 5-10 minutes.

Does it hurt?

When an intravenous injection is given, a thin needle is used, so you will feel a slight tingling pain when the needle is inserted.

How many times will it take to see results?

As for the whitening and skin-beautifying effects, the more you receive the treatment, the greater the results will be.

We recommend that you start by taking the course five times.

In terms of frequency, once or twice a week is fine, but considering the hassle of going to the hospital, a realistic target is once every one to two weeks.

Many people can feel the fatigue recovery effect after just one session.

It is especially recommended for those who drink a lot of alcohol to take this test before going out to a drinking party or going to work, as it will improve liver function and make you less likely to get a hangover.

Can I receive the injections for skin Tone Up multiple times?

Yes. Injections are mainly made of highly safe amino acids, so there is no limit to how many times you can receive them.
