[Clear and Radiant Skin Tone Care] Glutathione White Jade Management

Glutathione Snow White Treatment, often called the IU Injection

Understanding Glutathione

Glutathione is a key antioxidant widely distributed throughout various parts of our body, including the liver, kidneys, and brain.

It removes reactive oxygen species (ROS) to alleviate cell damage. It also reactivates other antioxidants like vitamins C and E, playing an important role in contributing to anti-aging and cell protection.

The Impact of Glutathione on Skin Brightening

Beyond its simple antioxidant function, glutathione can help brighten and even out skin tone.

Inhibition of Tyrosinase Activity

It inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme that produces melanin, thereby suppressing the formation of unnecessary pigmentation.

Inducing Melanin Pigment Type Change

It reduces the production of dark, deep-colored eumelanin and promotes the creation of lighter pheomelanin, helping the overall skin tone appear brighter.

Suppression of Pigment Production through Antioxidant Action

Reactive oxygen species caused by UV rays, heat, and inflammatory responses can promote melanin production. By eliminating these reactive oxygen species, glutathione contributes to alleviating pigment formation itself.

Synergistic Effect with Vitamin C

Oxidized glutathione can be reactivated by vitamin C. This reactivated glutathione helps inhibit melanin synthesis, thereby establishing an effective brightening action network.

Overall, glutathione can help suppress melanin production and promote its conversion to a lighter melanin type, leading to natural yet even skin tone improvement.

Why Glutathione Treatment is Necessary

Glutathione is commonly encountered through oral intake or intravenous injection methods. However, these approaches have several limitations.

Limitations of Oral Glutathione

Due to low gastrointestinal absorption, the amount absorbed into the body is small, and since it is primarily metabolized in the liver, the quantity reaching actual skin tissue can be very limited.

For these reasons, immediate skin tone improvement effects may be difficult to expect from oral intake alone.

Drawbacks of Intravenous Injection Method

When administered intravenously, glutathione spreads throughout the entire body, making it difficult to concentrate the desired effect on a specific area.

While it can contribute to liver function and systemic antioxidant effects, it can be an approach with somewhat reduced targeted effects for facial hyperpigmentation or skin tone improvement.

Differentiated Glutathione Treatment Approach

Iontophoresis application is a method that uses electric current to directly and concentratedly deliver glutathione beyond the skin barrier to the dermal layer. This can help overcome the limitations of both oral intake and injection methods simultaneously.

Targeting specific areas means inducing selective ingredient absorption into facial skin that requires pigmentation or tone improvement, without diffusing it throughout the entire body.

By using the undiluted solution as is and generously applying a 100% undiluted ampoule, the antioxidant and brightening effects of glutathione can be more effectively anticipated.

We strive to provide glutathione care under the principle of "more direct than oral intake, and more targeted than injections."

The Need for Absorption Through Iontophoresis

The limitation of oral glutathione is that its gastrointestinal absorption rate is inconsistent, and it undergoes liver metabolism, making it difficult for active ingredients to sufficiently reach the skin.

The limitation of simple topical application is that the stratum corneum on the skin's surface acts as a strong protective barrier, making it difficult for water-soluble ingredients like glutathione to penetrate deep into the skin.

Advantages of Iontophoresis

Electrical repulsion effect is a method that uses the power of electric current to push negatively charged glutathione, inducing its penetration beyond the skin barrier.

Through the electro-osmosis effect, a microscopic fluid flow is generated, which can contribute to expanding the absorption pathways for active ingredients.

Deep layer access has the advantage of not just staying on the skin surface, but effectively delivering active ingredients to layers closer to the dermis.

Due to these characteristics, iontophoresis can be described as a method that enables "more direct than oral intake, and deeper absorption than simple topical application."

Recommended Treatment Cycle and Frequency

Cycle can be considered at 1-week intervals.

Recommended frequency varies by individual, but consistent treatment for at least 5 sessions or more is recommended.

For maintenance, combining regular supplementary treatments can help maintain a stable skin tone.
