Dermatology ClinicGlutathione Treatment in Busan, Korea An antioxidant IV for a brighter-looking, more even complexion, given after a medical check
Glutathione is an antioxidant your body already makes. In Korea it is given as an IV, often called Baekok (white jade), as part of brightening care. At JRYN Seomyeon the doctor checks your health before any drip and explains honestly what it can and cannot do.
What does a glutathione IV do for the skin?
Glutathione is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress and is involved in how the skin produces pigment. A glutathione IV is used as supportive brightening care: some people notice a fresher, more even-looking complexion, especially over repeated sessions. Results are subtle and vary, it does not permanently change your natural skin colour, and it does not replace laser for spots or melasma.
At JRYN Seomyeon, glutathione IV (Baekok) is part of the Whitening Care package at ₩190,000 , together with vitamin C, LDM (12 minutes), oxygen toning, LED and a pack. Dr. Yoon Jung-wook reviews your health history first and confirms suitability and dose.

How much is glutathione at JRYN Seomyeon?
Glutathione IV (Baekok) is included in the Whitening Care package at ₩190,000, together with vitamin C, LDM, oxygen toning, LED and a pack. Your doctor confirms suitability before treatment.
Does glutathione really whiten skin?
It can help some people look brighter and more even over repeated sessions, but the effect is subtle and varies. It does not permanently change your natural skin colour, and evidence for strong whitening is limited. For spots and melasma, laser is more effective.
Is glutathione given as an injection or an IV?
At JRYN it is given as an IV drip after a medical check. An IV lets the doctor control the dose and the speed of the drip.
How many glutathione sessions do I need?
There is no fixed number. Any effect builds with repeated sessions, so some people have it regularly over several weeks. Your doctor advises a frequency that suits your health and goals.
Are there side effects?
Most people have none. Possible effects include a bruise at the needle site, mild nausea or, rarely, an allergic reaction. This is why the doctor checks your health history first and you are monitored during the drip.
Can I combine glutathione with laser treatment?
Yes. It is often paired with laser toning or LDM for an overall brightening plan. The Whitening Care package already combines glutathione IV with skin treatments in one visit.
Can I have a glutathione IV on a short trip?
Yes. It takes about 30 to 60 minutes with no downtime for most people, so it fits easily into a travel day. Message JRYN on WhatsApp to book.
