IV Skin Brightening
What is IV Skin Brightening?
In short, the IV treatment is exactly the same as when being attached to a ‘drip’ in hospital. The only difference is the mix of vitamins & minerals that are being intravenously circulated through your body.
In essence IV Skin Brightening is a short treatment that involves relaxing while a specific cocktail of skin brightening & pigmentation vitamins & minerals is administered via an IV bag. It really is that easy.
The joy of this treatment is that various mixtures of vitamins can be used to match your individual & specific skin needs. Added to this, the method has the positive effect of ultimate skin hydration*.
The Key Ingredients
As mentioned above, the mixture of vitamins & minerals can take on various complexities but at the heart of the IV Skin Brightening treatment is an antioxidant called glutathione.
Glutathione is an active ingredient that prevents the body from producing Melanin **. Melanin is what gives our skin its colour & pigmentation. By undergoing IV Skin Brightening treatments you are essentially going to stop your body’s ability to produce melanin on a cellular level, while giving your skin all the vitamins & nutrients it needs to remain strong, healthy & vibrantly young. The results are:
- Lighter complexions
- Even skin tones & pigmentation
- Hydrated skin
- Rejuvenated Skin
We combine with Vitamin C
Vitamin C is another fantastic skin antioxidant but it also helps in the absorption of Glutathione for a more effective result. In fact, we recommend that you continue to take daily supplements of Vitamin C to help maintain the final result.
Each treatment session takes approximately one hour & you can literally read a book while relaxing through the session. Our SAI recommendation is to undergo a series of 6-8 treatments separated by two weeks to achieve the initial results*. Following this protocol we recommend patients maintain their results with monthly IV Skin Brightening sessions. For many of our patients this is simply included in their hair & nail routine.
* Results and potential risks of our treatments do vary from person to person. We do NOT guarantee results or that results may be achievable. Dr Clark will discuss your expectations and outcomes during your consultation.
