Frequently Asked Questions
How does vitamin C help glutathione?
Vitamin C helps recycle glutathione back into its active form, allowing it to continue offering antioxidant support.2,3 By regenerating glutathione, vitamin C may boost its ability to protect your cells from free radicals. This synergy is one reason glutathione + vitamin C therapy has gained popularity. Their combined effects may promote skin brightening while improving immune function and overall wellness.
How many sessions do I need for skin-whitening results?
Everyone’s body and skin are different, so the number of treatments you may need can vary. However, we typically recommend a series of 8 weekly sessions for the most noticeable brightening results. This schedule allows for the consistent buildup of antioxidants in your system, which may help in progressively reducing unwanted pigmentation and promoting a more even skin tone.1,3
Can I receive glutathione + vitamin C IV therapy if I have specific health conditions?
Many people can safely undergo glutathione with vitamin C therapy. However, it’s important that we review your medical history and current health status before recommending this option since certain conditions or medications may affect how you respond to IV therapy. During your consultation at Seattle Plastic Surgery, we will discuss any concerns you may have and determine if you’re a suitable candidate before developing the best treatment plan for you.
Will I have any downtime after the therapy session?
In general, there is little to no downtime needed after a session of glutathione + vitamin C IV therapy. You can typically go about your day as usual, whether that means returning to work, running errands, or heading to the gym. Some people feel an immediate boost in energy, while others prefer to take a brief rest period. It all depends on how your body reacts.
How quickly can I see results?
Visible results can take some time and may vary. You may start noticing subtle improvements in your skin’s brightness and clarity after a few sessions, though it’s possible to need more treatments to see a significant change. Consistent IV therapy may provide more reliable, longer-lasting benefits. Schedule a consultation at Seattle Plastic Surgery so we can tailor a treatment timeline based on your goals and lifestyle.
