Treatment Overview
The Fairy Glow Drip is a skin whitening and radiance-enhancing IV infusion widely offered in Korean dermatology clinics. It is designed to create a luminous, translucent glow by combining glutathione, vitamin C, collagen, amino acids, and antioxidant blends. Its purpose is to reduce pigmentation, improve skin clarity, and restore a radiant “fairy-like” glow.
In Korea, the Fairy Glow Drip is commonly used as part of pigmentation treatment programs, especially for patients with melasma, PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), sunspots, and uneven skin tone. It is also popular among those seeking whole-body brightening and anti-aging support, often combined with lasers or whitening peels for comprehensive results.
