Are there any side effects and risks associated with whitening injections?

Generally, intravenous whitening injections may have side effects and risks, mainly including allergic reactions, uneven skin pigmentation, skin infections, phlebitis, and liver or kidney damage.

1. Allergic reactions: People with allergic constitutions may experience allergic symptoms after receiving whitening injections, such as itching, redness, and hives on the skin.

2. Uneven skin pigmentation: Skin may develop localized areas of increased or decreased pigmentation, resulting in a mottled appearance.

3. Skin infection: Whitening injections are an invasive procedure. If the injection environment does not strictly follow aseptic principles, bacteria and viruses may enter the skin and subcutaneous tissue, leading to infections.

4. Phlebitis: Long-term intravenous administration of whitening injections may cause phlebitis, presenting as local redness, pain, and even the formation of blood clots.

5. Liver and kidney damage: Glutathione in whitening injections needs to be metabolized by the liver. Long-term or high-dose use may increase the burden on the liver.

It is recommended that individuals seeking aesthetic improvements maintain healthy lifestyle habits, eat a balanced diet, consume more fruits rich in vitamin C such as oranges and lemons, and ensure adequate sleep to help maintain good skin condition.
