Quick Answer
Brightening IV Drip is an intravenous infusion delivering high-dose Vitamin C, glutathione, and supporting nutrients directly into the bloodstream for systemic absorption. It is administered as a compounded clinical preparation. Suitable for individuals seeking to address dull skin tone, oxidative stress, or uneven pigmentation from within, it works by saturating tissues with antioxidants that inhibit melanin synthesis and support cellular repair. At ID Cosmetic Clinic in Markham and Toronto, each session is personally performed by Dr. Dan Xu, M.D. A typical protocol involves multiple sessions spaced one to two weeks apart, with gradual results building over the course of treatment.
