Frequently asked questions
Does it lighten skin tone?
There are widespread claims about glutathione and skin tone, but that cannot be presented as a treatment indication. The application is planned for antioxidant support; no lightening result is promised.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no standard number. The number and spacing of sessions is decided for the individual after a physician assessment and blood tests.
Are there side effects?
Tenderness at the infusion site and, rarely, dizziness can occur during the application. That is why it is given in a healthcare setting and under observation.
