Glutathione IV therapy delivers glutathione, an antioxidant the body makes naturally, through a drip into a vein. At Egg Clinic in Sinsa, Gangnam, it is used as a supportive part of skin-brightening and wellness plans after a doctor reviews your health; any change in skin tone is gradual, varies from person to person, and usually works better alongside sun protection and targeted pigmentation care.

What is glutathione IV therapy?
Glutathione is an antioxidant made by the body that helps protect cells from oxidative stress. In aesthetic clinics it is given by intravenous drip, often together with vitamins such as vitamin C, because oral glutathione is poorly absorbed. The drip is given slowly while you sit comfortably, and a session usually takes under an hour.
Glutathione is popular in Korea as part of brightening care because it is thought to influence melanin production. The evidence for skin lightening is limited and effects vary, so we present it honestly as a supportive treatment. For visible spots or melasma, the doctor will usually combine it with targeted care such as laser toning or hyperpigmentation treatment.
Who is a good candidate for glutathione IV therapy?
- Healthy adults wanting antioxidant support
- People combining it with a pigmentation or brightening plan
- Those feeling run down during a busy trip
- Anyone who prefers a treatment with no downtime
It is not suitable for everyone. The drip is usually avoided during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and people with asthma, kidney or liver disease, or known allergies should discuss it carefully with the doctor. Tell us about all medicines and supplements you take. Glutathione is not a substitute for medical treatment of skin conditions or sun protection.

Tips for international patients
