Quick answer: IV glutathione delivers the antioxidant glutathione directly into the bloodstream, where it supports the body’s detox pathways and can give skin a brighter, more even, “lit-from-within” glow over a course of sessions. It is not a permanent skin-bleaching treatment and results are gradual and maintenance-based. At Skulpted by Kan in West Delhi (Rajouri Garden), IV glutathione “glow drips” are given under the supervision of Dr. Reetu Durga, with dosing matched to your skin goals and health history.

What is IV glutathione?

Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant your body already makes. It helps neutralise free radicals and supports liver detoxification. In an IV “glow drip,” a measured dose of glutathione (often paired with vitamin C and hydration) is delivered straight into a vein, bypassing digestion so a higher proportion reaches the bloodstream than with oral capsules.

People come to us asking for IV glutathione mainly for skin radiance and an even tone — a fresher, brighter complexion rather than a dramatic change in skin colour.

Does it actually work?

Honestly: it depends on what you expect. Over a course of sessions it can realistically improve skin brightness, support a more even tone, and leave skin looking healthier and more hydrated — especially when combined with sun protection and a good skincare routine. Many clients notice a “glow” effect first.

What it will not do is permanently lighten your natural skin tone or replace medical treatment for a skin condition. Anyone promising guaranteed, permanent whitening is overselling it. The effect is gradual and needs maintenance.

What to expect during a session

A typical glow drip takes around 30–45 minutes. You sit back comfortably while the drip runs. There is no downtime — most clients return to work or their day straight after. A short course (rather than a single session) is usually recommended, with maintenance drips after that, because the effect builds and then needs topping up. Before your first drip at Skulpted, we review your health history and skin goals so the dose and frequency are right for you, not a one-size-fits-all package.

Is IV glutathione safe?

When it is dosed appropriately and administered by trained medical staff, IV glutathione is generally well tolerated. Safety comes down to two things: correct dosing and who is putting the drip in. This is why we keep IV therapy doctor-supervised at Skulpted rather than treating it as a walk-in cosmetic add-on. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing a medical condition, tell us at consultation so we can advise whether it is suitable for you.

Frequently asked questions

How many sessions will I need? Most people start with a short course and then move to occasional maintenance drips. The exact number depends on your starting skin and your goal — we set realistic expectations at consultation.

Will it permanently whiten my skin? No. IV glutathione supports brightness and an even tone; it does not permanently change your natural skin colour. Be cautious of any clinic that promises permanent whitening.

Is there any downtime? No real downtime. A session takes about 30–45 minutes and you can carry on with your day afterwards.
