Glutathione injection Before and After

Before

If you have dull skin, no severe medical history, and need to brighten your complexion, you may be eligible for glutathione IV therapy. However, there are setting precautions you should take before taking the injection. As skin care experts, we carefully walk you through the dos and don’ts of glutathione injections before administering them.

First, ensure that your skin is well-hydrated before you take glutathione injections. Also, ditch cigarettes at least three weeks and anti-inflammatory drugs a month before treatment and remember to avoid direct sunlight too.

Finally, remember to ask your skincare expert questions and clarify any doubts or concerns you have before taking the injection.

After

It’s essential to also take certain precautions after your glutathione shots to maximize results. We advise you to bring a caregiver along to ensure proper care during and after the treatment. You also need to drink lots of water, quit alcohol consumption, and go for regular check-ups after taking glutathione injections.

Other precautions after a glutathione shot include keeping your skin away from direct sunlight and using only recommended skincare products/medications. After a shot, apply ice to the injection site to reduce inflammation.

Lastly, don’t take hot baths, massage your face, or undergo any other skin treatment immediately after completing your glutathione injections.

How do glutathione injections work?

Your body naturally produces free radicals through metabolism and contact with the environment. This is a typical and necessary component of the body’s complex self-maintenance system and it needs a balance of free radicals and antioxidants to properly carry out its physiological functions.

Unfortunately, free radicals can become too overwhelming for your body to regulate, leading to oxidative stress, therefore, when this happens, the free radicals start to damage lipids, proteins, and DNA, causing numerous diseases.

The way Glutathione injections work by detoxifying the body or clearing it of free radicals; by doing so, it also eliminates age spots, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, sun spots, acne, melasma, and other ageing signs that free radicals cause. Besides neutralizing free radicals, glutathione injections strengthen the immune system and regenerate nutrients.

At the end of the day, glutathione injections perform vital functions that improve skin health.
