Skin brightening injections in Gangnam, Seoul
Antioxidant IV drips with glutathione and vitamin C that support a clearer, more even complexion — best used alongside targeted pigmentation treatment.
What are skin whitening injections?
Skin whitening, or brightening, injections are intravenous drips that combine antioxidants such as glutathione and vitamin C. They aim to reduce oxidative stress and dullness and support a more even, radiant tone over a series of sessions. They do not change your natural skin colour and work best combined with laser or topical pigment care. There is no downtime; each drip takes about 20–40 minutes.
Evidence for injectable brightening is limited and results vary, so we present it as a supportive treatment. For defined spots or melasma, targeted treatments such as laser toning are more effective.

Skin brightening injections questions we hear most
Can’t find your answer? Message our English-speaking team on WhatsApp.
Do whitening injections permanently lighten skin?
No. They support radiance and evenness but do not change your natural skin colour, and effects fade without maintenance.
How many sessions do I need?
Most people notice a difference over 4–8 sessions, followed by monthly maintenance if desired.
Are skin whitening injections safe?
Under medical supervision they are generally well tolerated; mild vein discomfort or nausea can occur. We review your health history first and do not use them in pregnancy.
Can they treat melasma or dark spots?
Not on their own. For defined pigment, melasma treatment, pico laser or laser toning are more effective.
How much do they cost?
Generally ₩150,000 to ₩400,000 per session in Seoul. See our event price list.
