Glutathione Antioxidant Injection

Glutathione is a natural antioxidant produced in the liver. It plays a crucial role in repairing skin, boosting immunity, neutralising free radicals, slowing down the ageing process, and acting as an anti-cancer agent. As we age, glutathione production decreases, accelerating the ageing process. Additionally, it aids digestion and regulates metabolism, which can support weight loss efforts.

Moreover, beyond disease prevention, glutathione enhances sleep, energy levels, memory, and exercise recovery. At Bloomsbury Beauty, we utilise glutathione injections for skin brightening, targeting dull, wrinkled, and pigmented skin by reducing melanin production (responsible for our skin’s pigmentation) and restoring lost tone and glow.

What is glutathione?

Glutathione intramuscular injections involves the direct delivery of glutathione—a powerful antioxidant—into the muscle tissue for absorption into the bloodstream. Glutathione is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of three amino acids: glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. It plays a vital role in detoxification, immune support, and maintaining cellular health.

In the liver, it is a powerful antioxidant which is known as the mother of antioxidants, that is used by your body to help remove free radicals and toxins out through the lymphatic system. 

Glutathione is made up of 3 amino acids:

•          L-cysteine 

•          Glycine

•          L-glutamate  

L-cystine is a basic building block of glutathione. Because a number of health conditions deplete your glutathione levels, you need L-cystine to produce more within your brain and body tissues.

Glycine is a stabilised amino acid and is the most abundant amino acid in collagen.

 L-Glutamate [GLU] is one of the most abundant amino acids in nature and it plays important functions at the cellular level it helps to support the nervous system.

Benefits of Glutathione Intramuscular Injections

Skin Brightening and Lightening

Glutathione is widely recognised for its skin-brightening effects. It works by inhibiting melanin production, leading to a more even skin tone, and reducing hyperpigmentation.

Antioxidant Support

As a potent antioxidant, glutathione neutralises free radicals and protects cells from oxidative stress, which can contribute to aging, inflammation, and chronic diseases.

Detoxification

Glutathione supports liver function by aiding in the detoxification of harmful substances, including heavy metals and toxins.

Immune System Boost

By supporting the production and recycling of other antioxidants, glutathione enhances immune system function and helps fight infections.

Anti-Aging Benefits

Its role in reducing oxidative stress may slow the aging process by maintaining skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.

Improved Energy and Vitality

Glutathione supports mitochondrial function, which may enhance energy production and reduce fatigue.

Improved Cognitive Function

By reducing oxidative damage in the brain, glutathione may help maintain cognitive health and support memory.

Reduction of Inflammation

Glutathione’s antioxidant properties helps to lower inflammation, which is associated with various chronic conditions.

Do glutathione injections whiten skin?

It’s best to reframe this question: instead of “whitening,” the term “brightening” is more appropriate. These brightening injections reduce melanin production and pigmentation and, therefore, brighten and even out your skin tone. It is crucial to emphasise that the body’s natural processes determines to what extent your skin brightens. So, it is important to keep in mind that your goal with this treatment should be to achieve brighter, even skin rather than to change your skin colour artificially. Our goal at Bloomsbury Beauty is always to enhance your natural beauty rather than change it!

How long does it take for glutathione to brighten the skin?

Patience is key! Like any treatment, individual results will vary, and this can depend on a range of factors such as skin type, genetics, and overall health. It is important to remember that skin brightening is a secondary benefit of glutathione; its primary purpose is to function as an antioxidant within the body. Therefore, consistency with this treatment is vital as it will take time for the results to become noticeable. Usually, the process of brightening the skin complexion takes a few weeks to months after adopting a glutathione regimen. The time it takes to see results depends on your skin tone; for example, Light-medium brown skin: 1-3 months, Dark brown skin: 3-6 months, very dark skin: 6-12 months & Black skin: 18 months minimum.

What vitamins can I combine with Glutathione?

One of the best vitamins to combine with a glutathione injection is Vitamin C. This is because Vitamin C can help to protect glutathione from free radicals and re-oxidise them, increasing their life cycle and keep it going in your system for longer.

Usage and Considerations

• Dosage: Typically administered once a week. Dosage may vary based on individual goals.

• Combination with Vitamin C: Glutathione injections are often paired with vitamin C to enhance absorption and efficacy.

Potential Risks

While generally safe when administered by professionals, glutathione injections can occasionally cause side effects, including:

• Allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching).

• Injection site discomfort or swelling.

• Rarely, long-term use might interfere with natural melanin production.
