An IV glutathione drip delivers glutathione, an antioxidant your body makes naturally, directly into the bloodstream. People use it to support skin brightness and general wellness. The evidence is still limited and results vary between individuals. At Skulpted by Kan in West Delhi, drips are given under medical supervision after a consultation.
What is glutathione?
Glutathione is a molecule your body produces on its own. It acts as an antioxidant and plays a role in several normal processes in the body. When given as an IV, it is delivered into the bloodstream rather than taken by mouth.
Does an IV glutathione drip actually work for skin?
Honest answer: the scientific evidence is limited. Some small studies suggest a mild, temporary brightening effect for certain people, but the results are not robust and any effect may fade after treatment stops. It may help as part of a wider skin-care plan rather than a standalone fix, and outcomes differ from person to person. It is not a guaranteed or permanent skin-lightening treatment.
Is it suitable for everyone?
No. IV therapy is not right for everyone, and suitability is assessed at a medical consultation. Certain health conditions may make it unsuitable, and any procedure carries some risk. This is why Dr. Reetu Durga reviews your history before recommending anything.
How much does a glutathione IV drip cost in West Delhi?
At Skulpted by Kan, IV drip sessions start from around Rs 3,500. The final plan depends on your consultation, and pricing is shared with you upfront before you decide anything.

Frequently asked questions
Is a glutathione drip the same as skin whitening?
It is often marketed that way, but a more accurate description is that it may support a brighter, more even-looking tone for some people. It is not a guaranteed or permanent whitening treatment, and results vary.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies. Some people choose a short course spaced over several weeks; others prefer occasional sessions. A plan is recommended individually after an assessment.
Are there side effects?
As with any IV, there can be risks such as irritation at the injection site or reactions in some people. A consultation helps us understand whether it is appropriate for you.
