Concerns that Skin Whitening® helps with in Navy nagar :
Content accuracy verified by: Dr. Pooja Chopra
Glutathione, normally present in the body performs many vital functions including: As a powerful natural tool to dispose off free radicals In the movement of amino acids across cell membranes. It is in fact, one of the most powerful natural anti-oxidants in the body and is available in food items like whey protein, tomatoes, avocados, oranges and many more.
The body normally has two types of melanin (pigment molecule which imparts skin color). These are eumelanin which has brown to black color, and pheomelanin which is in the yellow to red range. Glutathione basically helps in reducing the production of melanin as well as changing the type of melanin produced, to lighten the skin. The antioxidant properties help you with a natural glow. For the skin whitening treatment to be effective, glutathione needs to enter the blood stream. The issue with oral glutathione is that the bioavailability is very low, which means that your natural digestion clears out most of the 'good stuff'. We hence prefer the intravenous route which enhances the entry of the molecule in the required areas, making the treatment effective.

The issue with oral glutathione is that the bioavailability is very low, which means that your natural digestion clears out most of the ‘good stuff’. We hence prefer the intravenous route which enhances the entry of the molecule in the required areas, making the treatment effective. The main ways in which glutathione helps in skin whitening are: As a powerful anti-oxidant, it helps with a natural glow It inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase which is required in the generation of the darker eumelanin It acts as a catalyst to alter the route of melanin generation to change the type of melanin produced in the body naturally from eumelanin to pheomelanin, which is what imparts the lighter skin tone.* A single session of IV glutathione is not enough to deliver drastic results and hence multiple sessions are often recommended at a gap of 1 week. There are studies that have been done on the skin lightening effects of glutathione, but they aren’t voluminous and hence the use of this skin whitening treatment is mainly based on empirical evidence, which is observation of visible change by practitioners. It is effective and it is safe when performed by a trained aesthetic dermatologist. All the skin specialists at SkinGenious are highly trained and evaluated on their results delivered for the skin tone lightening treatment. They are the best in Mumbai.
The treatment is very effective for candidates who have been screened properly for potential results.

What results can you expect from Skin Whitening treatment? What factors that impact the efficacy of Skin Whitening?
It is important for you to have realistic expectations when you are going in for any cosmetic treatment. Our specialists ask you to go ahead with the skin whitening treatment only if they feel that they can match your expectations and is medically safe for you. The treatment should help you lighten the skin tone across your body and will also provide you a glow. You will require up to 10 sessions at a gap of 1 week each to see long term results. You can start seeing results 2-4 weeks after your first session. It will not be permanent without maintenance treatments at lower frequency.
At SkinGenious , we only use treatments which have been assessed & approved by top regulators in India & across the world. Also our doctors make sure that any risks / side effects associated with the Skin Whitening is clearly communicated beforehand.
There is a dearth of a large volume in scientific papers testing for the safety of IV glutathione treatment for skin whitening. It has however been used for years and there are papers that have noted that there are no risks that would disallow the usage.
It is permitted for use by the FDA for other applications, but the FDA does not comment on the efficacy our usage for skin whitening. However, as shared, patients have seen results over years and our partner dermatologists ask you to go ahead with the treatment only if they feel it would be effective for you.
The treatment may not be safe for individuals with deranged kidney function and we hence do not perform it without a normal kidney function test.
Most of the risks recorded in scientific studies are associated with incorrect dosage and risks of intravenous administration by untrained individuals.
Rashes on the skin have been reported in some cases
Abdominal pain has been reported in rare cases
In some cases, lightning is reported in patches but this normalizes over the course of the treatment.
Risks associated with intravenous administration such as using infected needles etc. exist only with unregulated setups.
However, we re-iterate that the side effects reported have been observed mostly when unregulated clinics provide the treatment in certain countries. It is completely safe in the hands of trained dermatologists like your treating doctors at our clinics. We will ask you to go ahead only if the dermatologist feels that the treatment will be effective and safe for you.
Make sure that you know about the pre-treatment ''Dos And Don'ts'' for the Skin Whitening. Ask your doctor for the preparation checklist if available.
The primary ascertainment that we make to choose ideal candidates is test for normal kidney function. We only go ahead with the treatment after a normal KFT.
We do not perform this treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Apart from this you need to stop medications which contain: Gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine, GSH, L-glutathione, or N-(N-L-gamma-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl) glycine. Our specialists will help you with this.
