Glutathione IM Injections
(750mg injections three times a week)
If you’ve been searching for a quick, effective way to support your overall wellness, you may have come across glutathione injections. If you’re intrigued by how something so simple—a 15-minute injection—might hold such potential benefits for overall health, then you aren’t alone.
If you’re curious, too, keep reading as we break down what glutathione is, why it’s sometimes recommended via intramuscular (IM) injection, the potential perks, and why Allure Esthetic is an excellent choice for this treatment.
What Is Glutathione?
Glutathione is a tripeptide made up of three amino acids: cysteine, glycine, and glutamate1. It’s naturally produced in our bodies and plays a crucial role as an antioxidant, helping to protect our cells from oxidative damage. While that might sound like a bunch of scientific jargon, in simpler terms, glutathione is like the body’s personal bouncer, keeping the free radicals out and supporting our body’s overall defense systems2. Some key things to know about Glutathione include:
- Powerful antioxidant: Helps counteract oxidative stress2.
- Naturally occurring: Our bodies produce it, but levels can decline with age and illness1.
- Widely studied: Researchers are continually exploring its role in various aspects of health1,2.
Why Glutathione IM Injections?
You may wonder, if my body produces glutathione naturally, why would I need an injection? Here are some reasons to consider glutathione IM injections:
- Direct Delivery: When administered via intramuscular injection, glutathione bypasses the digestive system and enters the bloodstream directly, then reaches the muscle. This direct method ensures that more glutathione is readily available for your body to utilize.
- Quick and Convenient: IM injections are efficient, unlike oral supplements (which can sometimes have variable absorption rates). Patients can also take the injections home and do them themselves so that they can skip the clinic visit. Unlike our glutathione IV therapy, which can take over 30 minutes, the injections are quick, convenient, and fit into your unique schedule.
- Potential Nutrient Support: Since glutathione levels can decline due to stress, aging, or certain health conditions, IM injections may help support or restore optimal levels2.
Benefits Of Glutathione IM Injections
While ongoing research continues to shed more light on the potential benefits of glutathione, here are some reasons people look into these injections:
- Antioxidant Support: Glutathione helps combat oxidative stress1.
- Potential Skin Brightening: Some individuals report a brighter, more even complexion2.
- Immune System Support: Maintaining balanced levels of antioxidants can be beneficial for overall immune health2.
- Cellular Health: Glutathione may support cell repair and regeneration1.
It’s important to note that results can vary from person to person, and glutathione injections are not a magic wand. However, for those looking to give their wellness a little boost, it’s a popular option worth considering.

One of the biggest perks of IM injection is the efficiency of the entire process at Allure Esthetic. The treatment itself typically lasts around 15 minutes. Here’s a step-by-step of what you can expect if you decide to try it out:

Are Glutathione Injections Safe?
Safety is always a top concern for most patients, and if you’re reading this, I bet it’s yours too. According to available research, glutathione injections are generally well-tolerated when administered by a qualified medical professional1. Here’s what you should keep in mind:
