Hello.
I am Dr. Hyuk-chan Jo, Director of Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch.
Have you ever felt that your skin tone looks dull or that your fatigue doesn't go away easily during seasonal changes or periods of accumulated overtime work?
"I don't feel refreshed even after sleeping, and my face looks dull.
I'm taking nutritional supplements, but I don't feel like I'm recovering from within."
Active oxygen (free radicals) is a byproduct that naturally occurs during the process of our body creating energy.
When UV rays, stress, lack of sleep, and environmental stimuli accumulate, active oxygen becomes excessive,
creating an environment where oxidative stress is placed on cells, leading to fatigue, dull skin, and
a decline in recovery capacity.
Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection is a method of directly administering glutathione, the core of the body's natural antioxidant system, intravenously
to reach blood concentrations that are difficult to achieve through oral intake.
Today, I will summarize how Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection works and
who it is recommended for.
What is Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection?
👉 Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection is a nutritional injection line that provides antioxidant, detoxification, and immune-regulating effects by directly administering
tripeptide glutathione, which combines three amino acids—glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine—intravenously.
Glutathione is an antioxidant found in every cell of our body.
It is a component mainly produced naturally in the liver, often called the "master antioxidant,"
and is known for its role in neutralizing active oxygen.
Because it is difficult to reach a certain level of blood concentration when taken orally,
this line is administered intravenously to increase the absorption rate.
In the field of aesthetics, it is also known as the "White Jade Injection" (Baekok Injection),
as it is used supplementarily for skin tone improvement.
Mechanism of Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection
👉 Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection is known for its four-part mechanism: neutralizing active oxygen, supporting liver detoxification pathways, inhibiting tyrosinase activity, and immune regulation.
Neutralizing Active Oxygen (Antioxidant Defense)
Glutathione works by neutralizing free radicals (active oxygen) that can damage cells.
It is known to reduce oxidative stress accumulated due to factors such as
UV rays, stress, lack of sleep, and smoking.
Supporting Liver Detoxification Pathways
Glutathione is reported to be a component that assists in the process of binding to toxins like heavy metals and pollutants in liver detoxification pathways
and excreting them from the body.
Because of this, it is also used for recovery after drinking or managing chronic fatigue.
Inhibiting Tyrosinase Activity (Whitening Support)
Melanin, which determines skin tone, is produced by the action of an enzyme called tyrosinase.
It is hypothesized that glutathione inhibits tyrosinase activity,
shifting the production from dark eumelanin to light pheomelanin.
However, it is good to understand in advance that skin whitening is not an official indication approved by the MFDS or the US FDA
for glutathione injections, and it is positioned as an off-label supplementary care.
Immune Regulation
Glutathione is known to be a component that regulates cytokine production in immune cells and
lymphocyte activity.
It is used in the area of supporting overall condition recovery.
Effects and Advantages of Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection
👉 The key advantages of Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection are summarized as absorption rate through intravenous administration, simultaneous approach to antioxidant and detoxification, and supplementary care combined with lifestyle management.
First, it achieves high absorption through intravenous administration.
While the absorption rate of oral glutathione is limited due to breakdown in the stomach, intravenous administration allows it to reach the bloodstream directly, making it effective for internal bodily functions.
Next, it approaches antioxidant and detoxification simultaneously.
Since it neutralizes active oxygen and supports liver detoxification pathways, it is used for daily condition management such as seasonal changes, accumulated overtime, and recovery after drinking.
Finally, it is a supplementary care line that works alongside lifestyle management.
Since it is difficult to fundamentally treat photoaging or melasma with injections alone,
it is reported that results are more stable when combined with lifestyle management such as
UV protection, moisturizing, sleep, and smoking cessation.
Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection Lineup
👉 At the Uijeongbu branch, we operate glutathione injections as a basic IV drip combined with antioxidants and vitamins within our nutritional IV line.
Glutathione is not a treatment that brings about all changes with a single injection.
As it is a component that is naturally metabolized in the body,
it is configured with 5-session and 10-session accumulation options
because condition changes become more stable when performed at regular intervals.
We will review the session configuration that suits your condition and cycle during the pre-procedure consultation.
Who is Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection recommended for?
Those who have difficulty recovering from fatigue due to seasonal changes or accumulated overtime
Those whose skin tone looks dull due to accumulated UV rays and stress
Those who find it difficult to recover after drinking
Those looking for antioxidant and detoxification support nutritional care
Those who want to maintain cumulative care along with lifestyle management
Side Effects and Precautions for Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection
👉 Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection is a line used supplementarily in the aesthetic field,
and it is difficult to fundamentally treat pigment diseases or photoaging on its own.
Skin whitening is not an official indication approved by the MFDS or the US FDA,
so it is used as an off-label supplementary treatment.
While whitening effects have been reported in small-scale studies,
it is not an area with sufficient large-scale clinical data,
so it is good to understand in advance that there are large individual differences in the degree and onset of effects.
Some people may report mild dizziness, chills, or nausea immediately after the injection,
but these symptoms usually subside shortly after the procedure.
There are reports that high-dose repeated administration may affect kidney function,
so it is recommended to review your health status during the pre-procedure consultation
when undergoing cumulative care.
Please inform us in advance if any of the following apply, as the procedure may be restricted:
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If you have G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) deficiency
If you have underlying diseases such as impaired kidney function or liver disease
If you have a history of allergy to glutathione components
If you have active inflammation or infection at the intravenous injection site
⚠️ Precautions before and after Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection
👉 For Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection, both pre- and post-procedure condition checks and lifestyle management affect the perceived results.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Is Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection the same as the "White Jade Injection"?
It is a different name for the same component.
The official name is Glutathione Injection,
and it came to be called the "White Jade Injection" (Baekok Injection)
as its skin tone support effects became known in the aesthetic field.
Q. Is certain skin whitening possible with Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection?
Skin whitening is not an official indication approved by the MFDS or the US FDA,
so it is used as an off-label supplementary treatment.
While there are reports of skin tone improvement in small-scale studies, it is not an area with sufficient large-scale clinical data,
so it is good to understand in advance that there are large individual differences in the degree of effect.
Q. When can I see the effects of Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection?
Antioxidant and detoxification effects are reported as condition changes that accumulate over time,
so it is a treatment that gradually takes effect through 5 or 10 cumulative sessions rather than immediate changes.
Skin tone improvement is also known to have large individual differences.
Q. How often should I receive Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection?
As it is a component that is naturally metabolized in the body,
it is generally recommended to receive it at intervals of 1-2 times per week.
We will review the interval that suits your condition and cycle during the pre-procedure consultation.
Q. How much pain is involved with Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection?
As it is an intravenous injection, there may be a brief stinging sensation when the needle enters,
but the procedure itself is conducted in a comfortable environment.
Q. Are there cases where I cannot receive Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection?
The procedure may be restricted if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have G6PD deficiency,
have underlying diseases such as impaired kidney function or liver disease,
or have a history of allergy to glutathione components.
We will review your health status together during the pre-procedure consultation.
Q. Can skin tone be maintained with Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection alone?
Since it is difficult to fundamentally treat photoaging or melasma with injections alone,
it is reported that results are more stable when combined with lifestyle management such as
UV protection, moisturizing, sleep, and smoking cessation.
If surface pigment care is also needed, a combination with other options is recommended.
Active oxygen is a byproduct that is constantly accumulated in daily life due to factors such as
UV rays, stress, lack of sleep, and environmental stimuli.
When this oxidative stress accumulates, it creates an environment accompanied by
fatigue, dull skin tone, and reduced recovery capacity,
which is why care that supports the body's internal antioxidant system has become established.
Uijeongbu Glutathione Injection is a nutritional injection line that achieves an absorption rate
difficult to obtain orally by directly administering glutathione, known as the master antioxidant, intravenously.
It is good to understand that skin whitening is not an official indication approved by the MFDS or the FDA,
but is positioned as off-label supplementary care.
At the Uijeongbu branch, in addition to the basic IV drip containing glutathione,
we operate various nutritional IV lines.
Premium IV lines for specific purposes such as respiratory care, glowing skin condition, mood enhancement, and body fit
are operated with 1, 5, and 10-session options,
allowing you to choose according to your condition concerns.
We will personally check the IV composition that suits your condition during the consultation.
