Our Lighten infusion combines hydrating fluids with vitamin C and antioxidants. It’s provided as a clinical service following consultation, and our practitioners assess whether it’s appropriate for you beforehand.
This needs to be corrected to list every component actually administered, including glutathione, alpha lipoic acid and zinc if they’re included in the standard formulation. The clinic should confirm the actual composition before this goes live.

Nutrients taken orally are absorbed through the digestive tract, and how much reaches circulation varies between individuals. An infusion bypasses the digestive tract, which can produce higher circulating levels than an equivalent oral dose. Whether that’s clinically necessary for you is discussed at consultation.
Individual responses vary. This infusion is not a treatment for any skin condition. If you have concerns about pigmentation, melasma or scarring, we recommend discussing them with your GP or dermatologist, as these conditions have specific treatments and need proper assessment.
Your practitioner will discuss an appropriate schedule with you based on your circumstances. Responses vary between individuals.
This infusion is not suitable for everyone. We do not provide IV therapy to people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or to people with certain kidney or liver conditions. A full health screening is performed before your first treatment.
Please tell us about your medical history, any allergies, all medications you take, and any history of asthma or skin reactions.
As with any intravenous procedure, risks include bruising or discomfort at the cannula site, inflammation of the vein, fluid leaking into surrounding tissue, infection, and allergic reaction. Serious reactions have been reported with intravenous glutathione, including severe skin, kidney and thyroid effects. Your practitioner will discuss these with you before treatment.
This treatment is not a substitute for medical assessment. If you have an ongoing skin or health condition, please see your doctor.
