Glutathione IV Therapy in London

A supportive treatment for skin health, clarity and resilience

Healthy skin reflects internal balance. When oxidative stress, inflammation or environmental exposure increase, skin quality often suffers first.

At our London clinic, you receive medically guided treatments designed to support skin health from within. One such option is the glutathione IV booster, used as a complementary treatment within advanced skin programmes.

This approach supports cellular protection and recovery rather than cosmetic alteration.

What Is Glutathione?

Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant produced primarily in the liver. Your body synthesises it from three amino acids: glycine, cysteine and glutamic acid.

It plays a central role in detoxification, immune regulation and protection against oxidative stress. Because oxidative damage contributes to skin ageing and pigmentation irregularities, glutathione has attracted clinical interest in dermatology and aesthetic medicine.

Glutathione is not a protein. It is a tripeptide. Despite its small size, it remains one of the body’s most important intracellular antioxidants.

Why Oxidative Stress Matters for Your Skin

Your body produces free radicals through normal metabolism. However, external factors increase the load. These include UV exposure, pollution, stress, smoking and poor sleep.

In urban environments such as London, this oxidative burden can rise further. When antioxidant defences become overwhelmed, collagen breakdown accelerates and pigment regulation may become disrupted.

As a result, skin can appear dull, uneven or prematurely aged.

How a Glutathione IV Booster Supports Skin Health

When administered intravenously in a clinical setting, glutathione bypasses digestive breakdown. This allows controlled systemic availability under medical supervision.

Clinical evidence supports glutathione’s role as a key intracellular antioxidant. A narrative review published in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology outlines its function in reducing oxidative stress, supporting cellular defence and influencing pathways involved in pigmentation regulation, including melanogenesis and tyrosinase activity.¹

In addition, a systematic review and meta-analysis published by Dilokthornsakul et al. evaluated the clinical effects of glutathione on skin colour. The authors reported modest improvements in skin lightness in some study populations, while also highlighting variability in response, limited sample sizes and the need for further high-quality trials.²

Taken together, current evidence suggests that glutathione may support skin clarity and brightness through antioxidant and regulatory mechanisms. However, responses vary between individuals and changes tend to be gradual.

This treatment does not alter your natural skin tone. Instead, it is designed to support overall skin resilience, radiance and clarity when used appropriately within a medically supervised programme.

Potential Benefits When Used Appropriately

Clients often include glutathione IV therapy as part of a broader skin strategy because it may support:

Antioxidant defence at a cellular level
Detoxification pathways that influence skin clarity
A fresher, more rested skin appearance
Support for even-looking tone over time

Case observations and small clinical trials suggest improvements in radiance rather than dramatic pigment change. Therefore, expectations must remain realistic.

Does Glutathione Treat Acne or Pigmentation?

Glutathione does not replace targeted acne or pigmentation treatments.

While its antioxidant effects may support overall skin health, acne management still requires condition-specific protocols. Likewise, pigmentation concerns respond best to laser therapy, peels and tailored topical regimens.

Glutathione works best as a supportive element within a comprehensive plan.

Setting Clear, Honest Expectations

At our clinic, glutathione IV therapy supports other evidence-based treatments. It is not positioned as a skin-whitening solution, nor does it guarantee pigment change.

Clinical reviews, including those published in The Cochrane Database and The Philippine Journal of Science, highlight limited large-scale evidence for dramatic colour alteration. Therefore, any changes tend to be subtle and cumulative.

Consistency, sun protection and lifestyle factors remain essential.

Safety and Medical Oversight

Safety comes first.

While many people tolerate glutathione IV therapy well under supervision, literature also highlights risks associated with unregulated use. Case reports have documented adverse reactions when administered outside medical settings.

Possible side effects include nausea, headache, rash or local irritation. Rare but serious reactions can occur without proper screening.

At our London clinic, you receive:

Medical assessment before treatment
Regulated clinical protocols
Ongoing monitoring and review
This approach aligns with UK safety guidance and best practice.

Who May Be Suitable

You may consider this treatment if you:

Want to support skin clarity and resilience
Already follow a structured aesthetic or skin programme
Commit to sun protection and aftercare

You may not be suitable if you:

Have unmanaged liver or kidney conditions
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Expect rapid or dramatic pigment change

Suitability is always confirmed during consultation.

Dark eye circles can make you look tired, aged or unwell, even when you feel well-rested. At Continental Skin Clinic in London, our advanced dark eye circles treatment targets pigmentation, vascular darkness and skin thinning using a precise combination of Ultra LaseMD laser infusion with Tranexamic Acid and Rejuran i polynucleotides.

Ultra LaseMD creates microscopic channels in the delicate under-eye skin, allowing Tranexamic Acid to penetrate deeply and reduce pigment activity, calm inflammation and address vascular-driven darkness. Rejuran i polynucleotides are then injected to repair skin quality, strengthen the dermal structure and improve elasticity from within, without adding volume.

This dark eye circles treatment brightens the under-eye area, improves texture and restores a fresher, more rested appearance.
