It provides a faster way of delivering vital nutrients to the body.\u00a0 Vitamin deficiencies are a common phenomenon that can be affected by day to day life, and the stresses imposed on the body.\u00a0 Deficiencies can also cause dull skin, hair fallout, brittle nails, etc. External topical nutrients like creams, serums and soaps, among other products only provide temporary relief and don&#8217;t compensate for internal deficiencies. Furthermore, many oral vitamins and supplements have can have a low absorption rate while some can be harsh to your digestive system. An IV drip, on the contrary, provides better absorption of these nutrients so you can \u2018glow from the inside out\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The appeal of using IV drips and infusions for beauty is the quickness of delivery into the body and the results are almost immediate, unlike most procedures. Within 24 hours, one can see a visible difference in the skin&#8217;s quality and texture. The skin will be more hydrated and have the right nutrients to detoxify and rebuild.\u00a0 Other procedures are methodical like fillers and botox that can cause side effects and require post-care procedures. IV drips, on the other hand, is totally safe without much post care needed other than your regular skincare regime.\u00a0 Many actors and actresses use this method to prepare their skin before events and brides have found a fondness for this procedure to get glowing skin for their big day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Potential_Benefits_of_IV_Treatment_for_Our_Skin\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Potential Benefits of IV Treatment for Our Skin:<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Helps to improve skin hyper-pigmentation<\/li>\n<li>Helps to repair and nourish your skin<\/li>\n<li>Helps skin to be smoother and clearer<\/li>\n<li>Helps to give your skin a radiant glow<\/li>\n<li>Helps to make pores smaller<\/li>\n<li>Helps to prevent acne and heal marks<\/li>\n<li>Helps to defy the aging process<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7404 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeclinic.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Untitled-1200-\u00d7-1200px-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeclinic.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Untitled-1200-\u00d7-1200px-1.png 1200w, https:\/\/lifeclinic.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Untitled-1200-\u00d7-1200px-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/lifeclinic.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Untitled-1200-\u00d7-1200px-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/lifeclinic.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Untitled-1200-\u00d7-1200px-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/lifeclinic.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Untitled-1200-\u00d7-1200px-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/lifeclinic.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Untitled-1200-\u00d7-1200px-1-12x12.png 12w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Nutrients\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Key Nutrients<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Diet is always the foundation for health. But getting an extra dose of certain key nutrients helps optimize your skin\u2019s health and appearance.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Collagen\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Collagen<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Collagen is the answer to maintaining tight and firm skin, especially important when we reach the age of 40s-50s with declining hormones causing the skin to lose its elasticity and to sag. In addition, collagen helps maintain healthy joint function by maintaining the integrity of your cartilage, which protects your joints. It is also an important nutrient for maintaining good bone density as bones are made up of collagen.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Glutathione\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Glutathione<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Glutathione is an antioxidant produced in cells. It\u2019s comprised largely of three amino acids: glutamine, glycine, and cysteine. Glutathione is depleted when the liver has lots of oxidative stress from poor diet and nutrition or alcohol drinking which can lead to problems like fatty liver disease. The concentration of glutathione will also decline with age. Improving glutathione levels helps our body fight against oxidative stress and enhances our liver\u2019s ability to detoxify toxins from our environment.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vitamin_C\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Vitamin C<\/span> <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and can help prevent UV-induced skin damage. It is also essential in producing collagen. Deficiency can result in rough, dry skin and abnormal hair growth as well as poor wound healing and wrinkles.<\/p>\n<p>A study of 56 patients taking vitamin A, C, E and procyanidins over 8 weeks proved the safety and effectiveness of this combined supplement for uneven and mottled skin pigmentation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So why not give it a try this Mother\u2019s Day as part of your self-care ritual. \u00a0Or give the gift of \u2018glow\u2019 to your matriarch as a thankful gesture for being the best mum in the entire world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>References<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"css-dp76we\"><cite>Ali A, et al.
