Frequently Asked Question!
Whitening injections, often containing the antioxidant glutathione, are a cosmetic procedure administered intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM). Glutathione helps inhibit melanin production, which is the pigment responsible for skin color. By reducing melanin, these injections can help to lighten and even out skin tone, reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots, and give the skin a brighter and more radiant appearance.
When administered under the supervision of a qualified medical professional, whitening injections are generally considered safe. However, potential side effects can include nausea, dizziness, headaches, and low blood pressure. It is crucial to have a consultation with a healthcare provider to determine if they are suitable for you, as the U.S. FDA has not approved any injectable skin whitening products and warns against their use due to potential risks.
The term “whitening drops” most often refers to eye drops designed to reduce eye redness and make the whites of the eyes appear brighter. These drops work by constricting blood vessels in the eye. They are typically used by applying one or two drops to each eye, up to four times a day.
While eye-whitening drops are generally safe for occasional use, long-term or frequent use can lead to a “rebound effect,” where the eyes become even redder after the effects of the drops wear off. This can create a cycle of dependency. It’s important to use them as directed and consult a doctor if you have persistent eye redness, as it could be a symptom of an underlying condition.
Weight loss tablets and medications work in different ways. Some, like Orlistat, prevent the absorption of fat from the food you eat. Others, like the injectable medications Semaglutide (Wegovy) or Tirzepatide (Zepbound), are GLP-1 receptor agonists that help reduce appetite and make you feel full. These are not a quick fix and are meant to be used as part of a comprehensive weight management plan that includes diet and exercise.
Many effective weight loss medications require a prescription and medical supervision. Before starting any weight loss medication, including tablets, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional. They can assess your overall health, discuss potential side effects and risks, and determine the most appropriate and safest course of treatment for you.
