Results can last 12 to 24 months depending on your skin condition, age and lifestyle. Maintenance sessions are recommended for long-term benefits.

What areas can be treated with RF skin tightening?

RF can be used on the face, jawline, neck, abdomen, arms, thighs and buttocks to reduce sagging and improve firmness.

Does RF skin tightening hurt?

Glutathione IV: Everything You Need To Know

As you age, your skin can start to look dull and tired. Many things cause dull skin, the main offenders being ageing, environmental exposure and lifestyle factors.

There are a lot of treatments and serums that promise to brighten your skin, things such as facials that are designed specifically to boost your skin tone and ‘glow’. But have you heard of a Glutathione IV?

This skin treatment is different. It’s designed to brighten your skin, but with repeated use, it can provide effective long-term brighter, lighter, and more even skin. At our clinic in Dartford, Glutathione IV is a very popular and effective skin-brightening treatment.

The procedure is quick and easy, involving an IV being placed in the hand. The IV delivers high-powered naturally occurring ingredients such as vitamin C and glucose directly into your bloodstream to boost your skin’s appearance from the inside out.

Glutathione IV: What Is It?

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that is already found in every cell in your body; it is made of 3 types of molecules known as amino acids.

Your body produces glutathione to help combat free radicals and keep your cells healthy. Free radicals are unstable atoms that damage your cells through illness and ageing.

Because your natural production of glutathione slows as you age, this can result in age spots and pigmentation changes. These common signs of ageing are often exacerbated by busy lifestyles and stress.

A Glutathione IV drip contains antioxidants that will boost the natural antioxidants that you need to replace damaged cells. This can have a significant, positive impact on how your skin looks, and the use of an IV means that the delivery into your system is direct.

What Can Glutathione IV Help With?

This treatment can help with:

Skin Brightening
Hyperpigmentation
Sun damage
Melasma
Uneven skin tone
Discolouration caused by acne

This treatment is non-invasive and offers fast, effective detoxification because it is administered directly into your body through an IV. Its primary benefit is to brighten your skin and provide a healthy glow, but it will lighten your whole skin, not just your pigmented areas. You can discuss in detail the effects of skin brightening with one of our IV experts based in Dartford. Our experts will tailor your sessions according to what is right for you.

Glutathione IVs can also help with glutathione deficiency. Some of these symptoms can include anemia, a build-up of too much acid in the body and frequent infections.

How Long Does It Take Glutathione IV To Work?

On the day of your appointment at our Dartford clinic, you will meet with our highly trained IV specialist doctors. The actual treatment lasts 30 – 60 minutes, and it starts working right away.

Most people find that it takes up to three weeks to see the final results, and your final results will depend on how consistently you follow up with your treatments, your overall health and your metabolism.

Poor diet is often one of the key factors that inhibits the results of this treatment. For the best result, you should combine this treatment with a healthy diet.

What Are The Benefits Of Glutathione IV?

Glutathione IV helps to brighten your skin and is a fantastic anti-ageing agent that helps to keep your skin smooth and younger by reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It also improves energy and mental clarity.

Alongside these things, you could also benefit from the following:

Enhanced immune function
Effective pain relief – thanks to reduced inflammation
Increased energy levels
Improved concentration and focus
Better sleep
Detoxification of harmful substances from the body
Reduction in body fat

Because glutathione can be naturally made by our cells, Glutathione IV is a very natural treatment.

How Long Do The Results Last?

The results are not permanent, and if you wish to maintain your brighter and lighter-looking skin, you’ll have to repeat the treatment.

For the best results, you should avoid smoking and drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. Improving your diet, and getting enough sleep will also help the results last for longer.

One really important factor is sun exposure. Too much sun will lessen the effectiveness, so staying out of direct sunlight and applying high-factor sunscreen should help avoid this.

The best way to maintain your brighter skin is to create a bespoke treatment plan, and at Elite Aesthetics in Dartford, we can tailor your sessions accordingly so that you achieve the desired results.
