How Are Glutathione IVs Used for Skin Lightening?
Glutathione IV therapy has become a popular treatment for individuals looking to brighten their complexion and achieve a more even skin tone. But how does it actually work?
How Melanin Affects Skin Color
Your skin color is primarily determined by melanin, a pigment produced by cells called melanocytes, located in the lower layer of the epidermis.
Higher melanin production leads to a darker skin tone.
Glutathione works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme used in melanin production. By slowing down melanin synthesis, glutathione helps reduce hyperpigmentation, brighten the skin, and promote a more even complexion.
Benefits of Glutathione Beyond Skin Lightening
Aside from aesthetic benefits, glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that plays a key role in:
- Detoxification and liver support
- Reducing oxidative stress
- Supporting immune function
- Improving overall skin health
These therapeutic effects make it a popular choice for wellness and aesthetic treatment plans.
