[Clear and Radiant Skin Tone] Glutathione Baekok (Jade) Management

Glutathione Baekok treatment, also known as 'IU Injection'.

Learn about Glutathione.

Glutathione is a key antioxidant present in various organs of our body, including the liver, kidneys, and brain.

This substance helps reduce cell damage by removing reactive oxygen species (ROS). It also helps revitalize the functions of other antioxidants like vitamins C and E, thereby protecting cells and slowing down aging.

Glutathione's Skin Brightening Effects

In addition to its antioxidant functions, glutathione also helps in making the skin tone clearer and more even.

Inhibition of Tyrosinase Activity

By inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production, it can help prevent the formation of unwanted pigmentation.

Induction of Melanin Type Change

It contributes to brightening skin tone by reducing the production of dark-colored eumelanin and promoting the synthesis of relatively lighter pheomelanin.

Inhibition of Pigment Production through Antioxidant Action

Reactive oxygen species generated by UV radiation, heat, or inflammatory reactions stimulate melanin production. Glutathione helps reduce excessive pigment production by eliminating these reactive oxygen species.

Synergistic Effect with Vitamin C

Vitamin C reactivates oxidized glutathione, and activated glutathione inhibits melanin synthesis. This process can create an efficient synergy for skin brightening.

In summary, glutathione can provide benefits by regulating melanin production and inducing the formation of lighter melanin types, thereby creating a natural and even skin tone.

Why consider glutathione treatment at Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic.

Many people may have experienced glutathione through oral intake or injections. However, these methods have clear limitations.

Limitations of Oral Glutathione Intake

When ingested, its gastrointestinal absorption rate is relatively low, and a significant portion is metabolized in the liver, meaning the actual amount of glutathione reaching the skin can be limited.

This is one reason why it can be difficult to notice skin tone improvement effects solely through oral intake.

Drawbacks of Intravenous Injection Method

Since intravenous injections disperse the ingredient throughout the entire body, it can be difficult to expect concentrated effects on specific areas.

While it may be beneficial for liver health or systemic antioxidant effects, its targeted effect for facial pigmentation and skin tone improvement may be relatively insufficient.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Differentiated Treatment Approach

Utilization of Iontophoresis: Using a special current, glutathione is effectively delivered past the skin barrier close to the dermis layer. This approach can complement the limitations of oral and injection methods.

Targeted Delivery to Desired Areas: Instead of dispersing the ingredient throughout the body, it promotes selective absorption in facial areas requiring pigmentation or tone improvement.

Application of Undiluted Glutathione Solution: To maximize the potential of the treatment, we use 100% undiluted stock solution ampoules. Through this, we strive to fully deliver the antioxidant and brightening benefits of glutathione.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic provides glutathione care based on the principle of 'more direct delivery than oral intake, and more targeted treatment than systemic injections'.

Why Iontophoresis Absorption Method is Necessary

Limitations of Oral Glutathione: Oral intake often results in inconsistent gastrointestinal absorption, and due to metabolism in the liver, it can be difficult for the necessary amount to reach the skin.

Limitations of Simple Topical Application: The stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, acts as a robust protective barrier, making it difficult for water-soluble ingredients like glutathione to penetrate deeply into the epidermis.

Key Benefits of Iontophoresis

Utilizing Electrical Repulsion: By using glutathione's negative charge, it is guided through the skin barrier via electrical repulsion.

Promoting Electro-osmosis: It helps expand the absorption pathways for active ingredients by creating a subtle fluid flow.

Delivery of Active Ingredients to Deeper Skin Layers: Rather than just staying on the surface, it is possible to effectively deliver active ingredients close to the dermis layer.

In conclusion, iontophoresis is a method that allows for the absorption of active ingredients that is 'more direct than oral intake, and deeper than simple topical application'.

Treatment Cycle and Recommended Frequency

Treatment Interval: Generally recommended every week.

Recommended Sessions: For stable results, a minimum of 5 consistent sessions is recommended.

Maintenance Plan: Regular follow-up treatments can help continuously maintain the improved skin tone.
