Glutathione injections are a popular cosmetic treatment used for skin lightening, brightening, and detoxification. They help reduce melanin production, resulting in a lighter and more even skin tone.
What is Glutathione?
- A powerful antioxidant naturally produced in the body.
- Helps detoxify the liver and remove free radicals.
- Inhibits melanin production, leading to brighter skin.

How Do Glutathione Injections Work?
