[Glutathione Whitening Management] Also known as IU Injection

Glutathione Whitening Treatment, also known as the IU Shot

What is Glutathione?

Glutathione is a major antioxidant abundantly present in our body's liver, kidneys, brain, and other organs.

By eliminating reactive oxygen species (ROS) to reduce cell damage and reactivating other antioxidants (such as vitamins C and E), it plays a crucial role in anti-aging and cell protection.

Glutathione's Skin Brightening Benefits

Beyond its simple antioxidant action, Glutathione also plays a role in making your skin tone clear and even.

Tyrosinase Inhibition

It inhibits the action of tyrosinase, the enzyme that produces melanin, thereby preventing excessive pigment production.

Melanin Conversion Effect

Instead of dark and dense eumelanin, it promotes the production of relatively brighter pheomelanin, helping the skin tone appear brighter.

Pigment Suppression by Antioxidant Action

Reactive oxygen species generated by UV light, heat, or inflammatory reactions stimulate melanin production, but glutathione eliminates them, thereby suppressing pigment formation itself.

Synergy with Vitamin C

Vitamin C revives oxidized glutathione, and glutathione, in turn, inhibits melanin synthesis, forming a powerful whitening network.

In summary: Glutathione inhibits melanin and guides it towards a relatively brighter melanin pathway, contributing to natural and even skin tone improvement.

Why choose Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic for Glutathione Treatment?

Many of you may have encountered glutathione either orally or through injections. However, these methods have clear limitations.

Limitations of Oral Glutathione

Its absorption rate in the gastrointestinal tract is low, and most of it is metabolized in the liver, so the amount that actually reaches the skin is extremely limited.

This is precisely why "eating it doesn't immediately brighten your skin."

Disadvantages of Intravenous Injections

Since it spreads throughout the entire body, it is difficult to concentrate on the desired area.

While it can be beneficial for liver function and systemic antioxidant effects, it is less targeted for improving facial pigmentation and skin tone.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Differentiated Approach

Application of Iontophoresis: Utilizing electric current to directly deliver glutathione past the skin barrier and concentrated into the dermal layer, overcoming the disadvantages of both oral intake and injections simultaneously.

Targeted Area Delivery: Instead of circulating throughout the entire body, it is concentrated and absorbed into the facial skin where pigment and tone improvement are needed.

Use of Undiluted Solution: We do not compromise on efficacy. By using a 100% undiluted ampoule generously without dilution, we maximize glutathione's antioxidant and brightening effects.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, glutathione care is designed with the philosophy of "direct application over oral intake, and targeted management over injections."

Why choose Iontophoresis for absorption?

Limitations of Oral Glutathione: Absorption in the gastrointestinal tract is inconsistent, and since it is metabolized in the liver, it is difficult for enough of it to reach the skin.

Limitations of Simple Topical Application: The stratum corneum on the skin's surface acts as a strong barrier, making it difficult for water-soluble ingredients like glutathione to penetrate deeply.

Advantages of Iontophoresis:

Electro-repulsion Effect: It uses electric current to push negatively charged glutathione, allowing it to pass through the skin barrier.

Electro-osmosis Effect: It creates a micro fluid flow, widening the absorption pathway for ingredients.

Deep Layer Access: This is not just superficial treatment; it allows for the delivery of active ingredients to layers close to the dermis.

In other words, Iontophoresis is a method that allows absorption "more directly than oral intake, and deeper than topical application."

Treatment Cycle and Recommended Frequency

Cycle: 1-week intervals

Recommended Sessions: A minimum of 5 sessions is consistently recommended.

Maintenance: Regular supplementary treatments help maintain a stable skin tone.
