Glutathione is your body’s most powerful internally produced antioxidant, and it’s central to nearly every cellular protection and detoxification process your body runs. It neutralizes free radicals, supports liver function, brightens and tones skin by suppressing melanin overproduction, and protects cells from environmental and oxidative damage. But glutathione levels decline with age, stress, poor diet, and exposure to toxins. At SkinMD, physician-administered Glutathione therapy restores these protective levels, with noticeable benefits for both skin and systemic health.
What Is Glutathione Therapy?
Glutathione is a powerful master antioxidant produced in every cell that is essential to reducing oxidative stress, supporting detoxification, improving skin health, and promoting cognitive function. It is a tripeptide produced naturally in the liver from three amino acids: cysteine, glycine, and glutamine. When levels are optimal, it supports liver detoxification, reduces oxidative damage to cells, suppresses the enzyme responsible for melanin overproduction, and protects skin from UV and environmental damage. Oral glutathione is poorly absorbed. Injectable administration ensures systemic delivery.
How It Works
SkinMD administers Glutathione via subcutaneous injection after a consultation and labs that assess oxidative stress markers, liver function, and skin health goals. Because Glutathione crosses cellular membranes efficiently when injected, results are typically noticed faster than with oral supplementation. Many patients notice skin brightness improvements within 4 to 6 weeks.
