Treatment Overview
The White Jade Drip is a skin whitening and brightening IV infusion formulated to create a clear, fair, and jade-like translucence in the skin. It usually combines glutathione, vitamin C, tranexamic acid (TXA), collagen, and antioxidant blends, all designed to suppress melanin production, lighten pigmentation, and enhance radiance.
In Korean dermatology clinics, the White Jade Drip is offered to patients with melasma, PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), freckles, sunspots, and uneven tone. It is particularly popular among patients aiming for a refined, luminous “jade skin” look often associated with smoothness, brightness, and vitality.
