Treatment Overview
Intravenous Glutathione Therapy in Korea is a non-surgical, high-efficacy whitening and antioxidant treatment designed to improve skin tone, radiance, and overall health. Administering glutathione directly into the bloodstream ensures maximum absorption and systemic effects, enhancing its ability to reduce melanin production, neutralize free radicals, and detoxify the body.
Korean dermatologists are globally recognized for their advanced IV protocols, precision administration techniques, and combination therapy strategies, which optimize whitening, hydration, and skin rejuvenation. Intravenous glutathione therapy is often combined with vitamin C, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), collagen, or other skin boosters to enhance results.
