Treatment Overview
The Baby Face Drip is a skin whitening and rejuvenation IV infusion widely offered in Korean dermatology clinics. It is formulated to target pigmentation, dullness, and skin aging by combining glutathione, vitamin C, collagen, amino acids, and antioxidants. The name “Baby Face” reflects its goal of creating brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
In Korea, the Baby Face Drip is often used as part of pigmentation treatment programs for patients with melasma, PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), freckles, sunspots, or uneven skin tone. It is frequently combined with laser treatments and peels for comprehensive pigment and rejuvenation results.
