DEBUNKING MYTHS ABOUT IV DRIPS AND GLUTATHIONE

IN THE MODERN ERA OF QUICK FIXES, IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS OFTEN SURROUND BEAUTY AND WELLNESS TREATMENTS. ONE SUCH AREA RIPE FOR DEBUNKING IS IV DRIP THERAPY, THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION BECAUSE OF THE SERIES 'MADE IN HEAVEN'. DR. GEETIKA, FOUNDER AND MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF ISAAC LUXE, SEPARATES FACT FROM FICTION

- Dr Geetika Mittal Gupta

IN TRUTH, LIKE ANY MEDICAL PROCEDURE, IV THERAPY CARRIES POTENTIAL RISKS, INCLUDING INFECTION, ALLERGIC REACTIONS, OR COMPLICATIONS IF ADMINISTERED INCORRECTLY. OVERDOING IV DRIPS IS NOT SUGGESTED AS IT CAN AFFECT YOUR LIVER AND CAN CAUSE ADVERSE REACTIONS.

IV Drips: Dispelling the Intriguing Mystique

Myth 1: IV Drips Are Only for Celebrities and the Super-Rich

In ‘Made in Heaven’ Season 2, we witnessed the extravagant lifestyles of the elite. While IV drips may seem like a luxury reserved for the privileged, they are not exclusively for celebrities. IV therapy has legitimate medical applications, such as rehydrating patients or delivering essential nutrients.

IV drips have become more accessible to the general public, offered in wellness centres and aesthetic clinics. People seek them for hydration and a boost of vitamins and minerals that can help with various health concerns, such as energy boost, antioxidant fulfilment, and even to cure hangovers. These are available at the House of Drips.

Myth 2: IV Drips Are a Magical Fountain of Youth

The world around us is striving for perfection and eternal youth. IV drips may appear to be a shortcut to this goal, but they are not a magical solution to aging or glowing skin.
Glutathione, as emphasised, does not help change your skin’s colour. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that helps in the resolution of free radical damage, it also helps in building up immunity and it also helps in detoxification of the body to get clear and glowing skin.
