All About Whitening Injection

I had my first whitening injection in year 2004. At that time, I just completed my 3months full time Professional Aesthetician course. A classmate of mine has a beautician friend whos been doing the placenta and Vit C injection for her clients for about 20yrs. During the 80s and 90s, there are many such beauticians who performs aesthetic services, while aesthetic doctors/clinics are then unknown here. I am all along on  the fair side (as I take good care of my skin since young). But then hearing about this whitening jab, I cant help but get so curious that Ive to try it out for myself.

I recall my first course of 10 sessions of whiteninig jab costs me S$1500 then :( There are different dosage of Vit C, the older (and darker) you are, the higher Vit C dosage u will need (according to this 67yrs old yr Beautician!) I think she gave me the 2000mg Vit C per vial. It was injected to my butt. I went for the jab once a week for the next 10wks. I personally did not observe visible fairness, could be due the fact that I look at myself everyday so cant see the difference. However, my friends who've not seen me for some time commented that I look even fairer than before and that my skin glows. Haha...at least my $$ is well spent :)

It is only in the last 2yrs that glutathione comes into the picture of skin whitening. As I google to find out more about glutathione, I am surpirsed to read that glutathione is an amino acid, and is formally use for alcoholics, people with liver cirrhosis, asthma, weak immunity system. It claims that glutathione helps to detoxify your liver thus you will have healthy liver functions. Later, scientists found out a good side effect of glutathione, it makes the skin fairer!!

Thus, I contacted my overseas medical supplier friend and asked her to sell me 2 boxes of glutathione. It comes in a box of 10 ampoules wf a vial of 4ml FOC sterile water. There are 2 brands. Tationil 600mg and Saluta 600mg. My friend advise me to get the Saluta as he said that many of his clients commented that Saluta works better than Tationil.  As the package instructions states that if I want faster results, I can inject double dosage and once every 3days. I followed the instructions and injected 2 ampoules of glutathione each time. Indeed, the first week after the injection I seem to sleep better, and my face seems glowing not the usual frail fair look.

Anyway, I regard injecting the glutathione for healthy liver function since Ive become so physically weak for the past years possibly bcause I used to alcohol binge many years back when I had a KTV Pub business.  Its been almost a yr since my last glutathione jab, gonna get my new order now :) This time round, I'm gonna inject both Vit C wf collagen and Glutathione together. :p
