What is IV Infusion for Skin Brightening? 

IV infusion for skin brightening is a cutting-edge treatment that delivers a potent blend of antioxidants, such as glutathione and essential vitamins and minerals, like Vitamin C, directly into the bloodstream. By bypassing the digestive system, IV infusions allow maximum absorption and efficacy, promoting skin brightening by reducing melanin production. The result is a more radiant, even skin tone with optimal hydration achieved after several treatments. 

How Does Glutathione Brighten Skin? 

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant composed of three essential amino acids that support the body's detoxification process, particularly in the liver. By neutralising free radicals and toxins, glutathione improves overall health and reduces melanin synthesis, leading to a brighter, more luminous complexion. The treatment becomes even more effective when combined with Vitamin C, which helps boost natural glutathione levels. 

In countries like Japan and China, IV Glutathione treatments for skin brightening have been widely adopted for their noticeable results. Typically, patients undergo bi-weekly therapies to achieve optimal brightening effects, followed by maintenance sessions. 

IV Glutathione vs. Oral Supplements: Which is Better for Skin Brightening? 

The digestive system often breaks down oral glutathione supplements before the body can fully absorb them, making them less effective for skin lightening. In contrast, IV glutathione bypasses the digestive tract entirely, delivering the antioxidant directly into the bloodstream, ensuring maximum absorption and effectiveness. This targeted approach provides faster and more pronounced skin-brightening results. 

Combining glutathione with Vitamin C and alpha lipoic acid supplements is recommended for the best results, as these enhance glutathione's potency. Skin Renewal's specialised infusion cocktails include these key ingredients to ensure you receive the full benefits of the treatment.

frequently asked
questions

Are skin brightening IV Infusions available at all Skin Renewal Clinics?
Why are IV infusions more effective than oral supplements?

Oral glutathione supplements and other nutrients often break down in the digestive system, reducing effectiveness. IV infusions deliver these nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive process and ensuring they reach their target cells in their active form, resulting in more effective skin brightening.

How often should you get IV infusions for optimal skin brightening results?

For optimal results, it is recommended that you undergo IV infusions twice a week for the first month. After achieving the desired skin tone, monthly maintenance sessions are advised to sustain the results.

Are there any side effects of IV infusion therapy?

IV infusion therapy is generally safe when administered by trained professionals. At Health Renewal, all infusions are performed by registered nurses or doctors, and an ACLS-certified doctor is always present during treatments. Common side effects are minimal but can include mild discomfort at the injection site or a slight feeling of warmth during the infusion.

Can anyone undergo IV infusion therapy for skin brightening?

While IV infusion therapy is safe for most people, it is important to thoroughly consult a Skin Renewal doctor to assess your individual health needs and conditions. This ensures the treatment is tailored to your specific requirements and safe for you.

What additional supplements should I take to enhance the effects of IV infusions?

To enhance the effects of IV glutathione infusions, oral supplements of Vitamin C and Alpha Lipoic Acid are recommended. These supplements help improve the absorption and retention of glutathione in the body, boosting the overall effectiveness of the skin-brightening treatment.

How long does it take to see results from IV infusion therapy?

Most individuals see noticeable skin tone improvements after a few sessions, typically within the first month of treatment. However, results can vary based on individual skin types and conditions.

Relocated to Capetown from JHB last year. Was really nervous to try a new branch in a new City and felt discouraged because I hadn’t seen much progress. I booked an appointment at Claremont and met Serena Pictor! Serena was so supportive and encouraging, she educated me about my treatments, she even helped me find a better healthier supplement to aid with my insomnia, checking my blood pressure and making sure I I got all the right tools to enhance my treatments to achieve my goal.Coming to Skinrenewal Claremont wasn’t a long term plan, but Serena gave me what I couldn’t find anywhere ( Team Support) We are in this Together!. Serena is the human connection between the Clinic and client, she doesn’t make me feel like a client, she provides a sanctuary of calm away from my hectic life. Thank you so much Serena, you are so Amazing ?

Invest your time and money in Skin Renewal you will most definitely not leave disappointed!
