What is the skin whitening mechanism of whitening injections?
Disease description:
I hadn't seen this friend for a long time, and recently I noticed his skin looked very fair and exceptionally radiant. He said he had received injections of a whitening solution. So, what is the mechanism behind the skin-whitening effect of these whitening injections?

Dr. Li Qiang
The ingredients of whitening injections generally include vitamin C, tranexamic acid, and reduced glutathione. The mechanism behind skin whitening primarily relies on vitamin C's strong antioxidant properties, which help eliminate free radicals in the body and inhibit melanin synthesis. Tranexamic acid interferes with the process of melanin production, resulting in lighter skin. Reduced glutathione assists in removing free radicals and prevents melanin formation, thereby promoting skin whitening.
