Treatment Overview
Glutathione Drip in Korea is an intravenous (IV) therapy that delivers high doses of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, directly into the bloodstream. Known for its skin-brightening and detoxifying effects, glutathione helps improve back acne, post-acne pigmentation, and overall skin clarity by reducing oxidative stress, regulating melanin production, and supporting the immune system.
In Korean dermatology clinics, glutathione drips are often combined with vitamin C infusions, skin boosters, and acne-focused treatments to enhance both acne control and skin radiance. This systemic approach not only helps clear existing back acne but also promotes a healthier complexion overall.
