Glutathione Injections in Myeongdong, Seoul
An antioxidant injection used in Korea to brighten overall skin tone, quick to have done and easy to fit around a trip to Seoul.
What is a glutathione injection? Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that the body produces naturally. Given as an injection, it is commonly used in Korea as a skin-brightening treatment, often called the “whitening injection”, to support a brighter, more even tone and help fade dull areas and dark spots, with antioxidant support for the body. It takes about 15–20 minutes with no downtime. At Kleam Clinic Myeongdong, a glutathione injection starts from ₩69,000.
How glutathione injections work
Glutathione helps neutralise oxidative stress and is involved in the pathways that control melanin production. In aesthetic clinics it is given as an injection to support a brighter, more even skin tone, and it is also used for its antioxidant, detoxifying and anti-ageing support. Results are gradual and vary from person to person, so a series of sessions is usually recommended rather than a single shot.
The treatment takes about 15–20 minutes with no downtime, so you can return to your plans straight afterwards. A course is often planned 1–2 times per week, and glutathione can be combined with other IV drips, facials or peels as part of a brightening plan. Kleam offers a standard and a high-dose glutathione injection, as well as combination IV options.
