Treatment Overview
The Placenta Whitening Drip is a regenerative IV infusion therapy that combines placental extracts with glutathione, vitamin C, amino acids, and antioxidants. Widely used in Korean dermatology and anti-aging clinics, this infusion is designed to promote skin whitening, rejuvenation, and cellular repair.
Placenta extracts are known for their rich content of growth factors, peptides, amino acids, and bioactive compounds, which help stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and regulate melanin formation. In Korea, the Placenta Whitening Drip is often offered to patients with melasma, PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), sunspots, and dull or aging skin, and is frequently combined with Pico lasers, whitening peels, or regenerative boosters for a comprehensive pigmentation program.
