Do you long for fairer skin? Do you need help restoring the pale complexion of your younger years? There are several options for skin lightening treatments, from over-the-counter or prescription bleaching creams to expensive laser treatments and chemical peels. Many patients are tempted by the promise of quick and easy results with fly-by-night procedures. Or by using one of the
many useless over-the-counter solutions on the market. It’s important to understand the potential risks and benefits before deciding whether or not to pursue skin lightening. There is no such thing as a “magic bullet” when it comes to skin lightening. Many dermatologists often recommend Glutathione along with
other vitamins to achieve fairer skin color relatively quickly. Receiving skin-lightening vitamins via intravenous (IV) solution can help your body better absorb the vitamins and minerals needed for a brighter complexion. Glutathione is a potent and powerful antioxidant that is naturally produced in the body. It has multiple anti-aging benefits, including glowing skin, lighter skin, removal of blemishes, improved acne symptoms and skin quality, and collagen production. Melanin is the pigment that colors your skin, the more melanin your body
produces, the darker your skin tone. When your skin is exposed to sunlight, melanin is what gives you a tan. Glutathione and melanin are both produced by specialized cells in the epidermis called melanocytes. Melanocytes convert the amino acid tyrosine into melanin using the enzyme tyrosinase. Glutathione helps determine skin tone by inhibiting tyrosinase and blocking the production of melanin. While our bodies naturally produce glutathione, it can also be taken in oral or
intravenous supplements. IV therapy is able to get glutathione directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the stomach’s digestive enzymes. IV Glutathione therapy for skin lightening usually involves weekly intravenous administration of glutathione. Patients normally have eight to ten sessions for desired results. Every person is different and has a different skin tone and skin pigmentation, and thus results and treatments required vary. Glutathione also has many additional health
benefits, including supporting the central nervous system, detoxifying the body, improving liver function, and improving
respiratory conditions. While some people with naturally dark skin seek skin bleaching products and procedures due to
societal biases against darker skin, there are dozens of reasons for people of all skin tones to consider skin lightening.Intravenous glutathione skin

Why do people get skin-lightening treatments?
High demand for skin lightening products is also driven by natural changes or discolorations that affect the skin.
Common skin discolorations include:
- Age spots
- Dark spots
- Acne scars
- Sun damage
- Birthmarks
- Uneven skin tone
- Melasma
IV glutathione provides overall lightening and rejuvenation, which can help even out skin tone but won’t specifically target these skin problems.
However, other treatment options – such as laser skin resurfacing, intense pulsed light (IPL), or chemical peels – can have unpleasant side effects. These can include dry skin, higher risk of skin infections, and (ironically) hyperpigmentation, i.e., increased skin darkening.
What’s the dosage of intravenous glutathione for skin whitening?
The dosage of glutathione therapy for lightening treatment can range from 400 to 1,200 milligrams.
Our office also provides intramuscular injections of Glutathione for skin whitening and its antioxidant effects.
How long does it take to see results from intravenous glutathione for skin whitening?
The benefits of glutathione are usually seen after at least three weeks of treatment, though the average is around four weeks. How quickly you see improvement depends on how consistently you have treatments, your general health, and your metabolism. (You will see slower results with a slower metabolism.)
Another component of our safe and effective skin lightening is IV vitamin C. This treatment involves injecting high doses of the nutrient directly into your veins, and some patients swear by its results.
Numerous articles and publications have shown the health benefits of vitamin C for the body and skin specifically. Vitamin C also inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase and thus contributes to the decrease in melanin production. IV therapy for skin lightening can combine vitamin C with Glutathione for a more potent skin whitening effect.
Besides vitamin C’s skin lightening effects, it also helps repair damaged skin, improve collagen production and skin elasticity, and reduce redness, fine lines, and inflammation. The result is younger and more youthful skin and appearance.

What is the dosage of vitamin C drip for whitening?
The dosage of IV vitamin C for skin whitening is typically between 2,500 and 5,000 milligrams, but higher dosages can also be used depending on medical health and conditions.
Our office also provides injections of vitamin C for an immune boost. Please note that it is difficult to administer higher dosages of vitamin C through injection alone.
We also custom formulate the best skin lightening cream
Our offices use specialty compounding pharmacies to custom create skin lightening creams that contain a mixture of ingredients such as hydroquinone, vitamin C, and Azelaic acid. Creams can help improve your skin condition in a more targeted manner; you can apply the bleaching agent directly where it’s needed.
Please note that the FDA has not approved Glutathione for skin whitening purposes, and this is an off-label use but a common dermatology practice.
Professional skin care tips
To maintain your new, rejuvenated skin make sure to follow a good skincare routine.
- Wear sunscreen when outside to protect your skin from darkening or new discoloration (in addition to protecting you from skin cancer!).
- If you do get sunburn, use aloe vera to soothe and refresh your skin.
- Add a good exfoliator to your routine to remove dead skin cells and keep your face smooth and healthy.
- Make sure the moisturizer you’re using is designed for your skin type.
Why trust IV Vitamin Therapy for skin whitening and brightening?
IV Vitamin Therapy is located in an upscale boutique-style medical office. After consulting with a physician, you will be prescribed a single nutrient or a cocktail of nutrients, depending on your health history and goals. Sessions typically take between 20 and 60 minutes, and patients are conscious for the entire procedure. After the initial painless pinprick of a needle, the nutrients flow into the bloodstream. Many patients use this time to read or work remotely.
Almost immediately after injection, the nutrients injected into the body begin working. Modernly designed and calm, our medical offices are the perfect environment for athletes to receive regular IV vitamin injections.
