Glutathione Microneedling

Microneedling with glutathione is a promising treatment for melasma, particularly in patients with darker skin tones. This minimally invasive technique stimulates fibroblasts proliferation, enhances collagen formation, and increases delivery of topically applied drugs. Glutathione acts as an antioxidant, reducing tyrosinase activity and shifting melanogenesis, leading to improved skin pigmentation.

Indications: 

Ideal for patients with melasma caused by sun exposure, inflammation, acne, hormones, and melasma, particularly those with darker skin tones. 

Anesthetic: 

Topical anesthesia Possible Side effects: Minimal discomfort during treatment, slight redness, and swelling immediately post-procedure, which usually subside quickly. 

Treatment course: 

A series of microneedling sessions, combined with glutathione application, is recommended for optimal results. Most patients experience improvement after the first session, with significant reduction in melasma observed over subsequent treatments.
