Treatment Overview
Alpha Lipoic Acid & Vitamin C Therapy in Korea is an advanced infusion treatment designed to brighten, rejuvenate, and detoxify the skin while providing powerful antioxidant protection. Alpha Lipoic Acid is a potent antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals, supports cellular regeneration, and enhances skin metabolism, while Vitamin C promotes collagen synthesis, skin hydration, and enhances whitening effects.
By combining ALA with Vitamin C, Korean dermatology clinics provide a dual-action whitening and anti-aging therapy. This treatment is particularly effective when combined with Glutathione Whitening Injections, offering a safe, non-surgical approach to achieving brighter, smoother, and more radiant skin.
