What is IV Glutathione?
Glutathione is an antioxidant made naturally in the body. Intravenous glutathione is sometimes requested for skin brightening. Evidence for its effect on skin colour is limited, and it is not approved as a skin-lightening treatment by major regulators. At Thamaraa it is considered only after a clinical assessment of suitability and safety, with full discussion of the evidence and risks.
