What is glutathione?
Composed of the amino acids cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine, glutathione is a well-known antioxidant. It can combat free radicals, which harm the cells in our bodies. Additionally, it triggers several significant chemical reactions in the body, including those that detoxify substances like narcotics, pollution, etc. However, learn more about Dubai’s Glow Revolution: Transforming Beauty with Skin Whitening Injections (تبييض البشرة) and book us right away!
Benefits of glutathione for skin
Glutathione works miraculously for the skin. It is very essential to have it at the proper level. Some of the benefits that are delivered at Tajmeels Clinic are mentioned below-
1. Strong antioxidant
Free radicals harm the skin cells resulting in wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots, among other skin problems. Additionally, these dehydrate the body, leaving the skin dry and sagging. Glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, counteracts free radicals produced by sunlight and pollutants.
2. Provides elasticity
When glutathione is present, the body makes more collagen and stores more elastin. It also helps the skin hold on to moisture, which in turn encourages skin renewal and increased suppleness. It smoothes the skin and lessens the appearance of wrinkles.
3. Detoxification
A healthy liver is also crucial for healthy skin. Toxins in any form consumed by us are purified by our liver. Hence, keeping it healthy is necessary for all the possible reasons. Glutathione has been proven to work in this detoxification and thereby, reduces blemishes and other skin imperfections.
4. Treats pigmentation
It has been proved in various research that glutathione reduces the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for giving colour to our skin. Hence, it leads to skin whitening, even skin tone, and reduced dark spots.
5. Targets inflammatory actions
Inflammation is something that can be the outcome of any skin issue, whether it’s hyperpigmentation or acne. Free radicals can also be caused by inflammation.
6. Boosts immunity
For skin to be healthy, the immune system must be functioning properly. Weaknesses in it might result in skin issues such as eczema, acne, inflammation, etc. Immunity is increased by glutathione, which immediately results in healthier skin.
7. Whitens skin
Glutathione evens out the skin tone and reduces dark spots, acne scars, and blemishes. It leads to an overall brighter skin tone that gradually and eventually leads to skin whitening.
8. Rejuvenates skin
Apart from the aforementioned benefits, glutathione also helps in bringing a youthful look. It smoothens the skin texture and brings evenness throughout our face. To gain the maximum benefits out of it, this can be clubbed with other services.
How many glutathione injections are necessary to see results?
Doctors typically advise a dosage of 600–1200 mg twice a week. As the practitioner advises, this procedure must be repeated in order to achieve skin whitening because the results are temporary. The more often you get these injections, the younger you appear to be.

How to use glutathione injection for skin whitening?
Taking laser skin lightening requires no rocket science, it is as simple as going for a normal injection. On examining the skin, the dermatologist mixes various chemicals depending on crucial factors like skin colour and type.
Moreover, this brightening injection is applied in the body through a vein and this is it. The frequency of application is determined by the dermatologist, which is usually two to three times a week initially and reduced to once a week later on. The results will be visible somewhere between six to eight weeks post-treatment.
