What is Skin Whitening Treatment?
Instead of using harsh chemicals on your skin to make it fairer and spotless, dermatologists have worked hard to come up with a much better alternative. Nowadays you can get yourself professionally treated for your hyperpigmentation and it’s safer and more effective than using bleaching creams. This treatment involves injecting the body with Glutathione, which is an anti-oxidant element used to brighten up the skin and make it fair and spotless.
How Is Skin Whitening Treatment Performed?
It is not that complicated to administer a Glutathione Injection but there are still a few steps that should be followed. Dr. Naveed at Royal Cosmetic Surgery Clinic takes these instructions very seriously to avoid any mishaps from happening. The following steps are followed for this treatment:
- Firstly Dr. Naveed will Clean the skin with an alcohol wipe.
- He will then take a clean injection and fill it to the mark of dosage required.
- This injection has to be inserted into the buttocks or the thigh and has to be inserted at a 90-degree angle.
- Once the entire needle is inside your thigh, the doctor will slowly push the glutathione fluid into the body.
- After the successful transfer of the anti-oxidant, you will be given a bandage or a cotton ball to help with the minor bleeding.
- This process is repeated depending on how pigmented is your skin and how many doses are required.
How Does Glutathione Work as a Skin Whitening Treatment?
This substance is comprised of strong antioxidants like cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid along with a number of naturally occurring amino acids. Vitamin C is also added to the injection. This vitamin helps with the production of collagen, resulting in tighter and younger skin. All these chemicals are advantageous for your body and help with the removal of any present toxins.
When this antioxidant is injected into the body, it works itself to expel any toxins that are present in the body. These toxins are the leading causes of hyperpigmentation in the body and their removal restricts dark patches from appearing on the body. After the expulsion of these toxins, the skin gets glowy and radiant.
