As skin ages, collagen production declines, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and an uneven texture. Medium to deep chemical peels are an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that helps reverse these signs of aging by removing damaged skin layers, stimulating new collagen growth, and promoting a youthful, radiant complexion. These peels use potent exfoliating agents, such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA), phenol, and high-strength glycolic acid, which penetrate deeper into the skin layers to trigger cell renewal, enhance skin elasticity, and smooth out wrinkles.

PowerGlow IV drips deliver a concentrated blend of skin-supporting vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system entirely. Oral supplements lose a significant portion of their potency during absorption — bioavailability for oral vitamin C, for instance, caps at roughly 50 percent even at moderate doses. Intravenous delivery achieves close to 100 percent bioavailability, allowing therapeutic concentrations that oral intake simply cannot reach.

This treatment effectively combats aging by:

Deep Skin Exfoliation – Exfoliating damaged skin, eliminating dullness and rough texture.

Collagen & Elastin Stimulation – Stimulating collagen and elastin production, restoring firmness and elasticity.

Fine Line & Wrinkle Reduction – Reducing fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and mouth.

Even Skin Tone – Improving skin tone and brightness, diminishing sun damage and age spots.

Dull, Fatigued Skin – When the body is under stress or nutrient-depleted, skin cell turnover slows and antioxidant reserves drop. A PowerGlow drip replenishes these reserves rapidly.

Uneven Skin Tone – Glutathione's tyrosinase-inhibiting action helps reduce excess melanin production that causes patchy discolouration. Over a series of six to ten sessions, patients typically notice a more uniform complexion.

Post-Procedure Recovery – After laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or microneedling, the skin's demand for antioxidants and repair nutrients spikes.

PowerGlow IV drips suit patients who want to address skin dullness, uneven tone, and oxidative stress from the systemic level. They are particularly popular among patients preparing for events, recovering from intense laser procedures, or looking to amplify the results of their topical brightening regimen.

Smooths Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Reduces crow’s feet, frown lines, and smile lines for smoother skin.

Collagen Boost – Boosts collagen production, reducing sagging and improving firmness.

Sun Damage & Age Spot Reduction – Corrects sun damage, fading age spots and pigmentation.

Restores Skin Radiance – Enhances overall skin radiance for a youthful glow.

Glutathione – The master antioxidant of the body. It neutralises free radicals, supports liver detoxification, and directly inhibits melanin synthesis by blocking tyrosinase activity.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) – A cofactor for prolyl hydroxylase, the enzyme essential for collagen cross-linking. High-dose IV vitamin C also recycles oxidised glutathione back to its active form, amplifying the antioxidant benefit.

B-Complex Vitamins – B vitamins — including B5 (pantothenic acid), B6, B7 (biotin), and B12 — support cellular energy production, keratinocyte metabolism, and nervous system function.

A PowerGlow IV drip session at Claire Derma takes 30 to 45 minutes. You'll be seated comfortably while a trained nurse places a small intravenous cannula — typically in the hand or forearm. The drip solution is prepared fresh for each session using pharmaceutical-grade ingredients at concentrations determined by your dermatologist.

Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Improves skin texture and smooths visible signs of aging.

Firms & Tightens Skin – Stimulates collagen for long-term skin rejuvenation.

Brightens & Evens Skin Tone – Evens out skin tone by reducing pigmentation and dullness.

Benefit – Intravenous delivery bypasses the gut, achieving near-complete bioavailability. This means the active ingredients reach your cells at therapeutic concentrations, producing effects that oral supplements at the same dose cannot replicate.

Benefit – The infusion simultaneously hydrates the body with 250 to 500 ml of sterile saline, which benefits skin plumpness and overall cell function.

Benefit – PowerGlow drips can be customised to your specific needs. If your primary concern is pigmentation, the glutathione dose is emphasised.

Having IV drip therapy at a medical dermatology clinic like Claire Derma provides safety assurances that non-medical drip lounges cannot offer. IV access carries inherent risks — infection, vein irritation, air embolism, and allergic reaction — that require medical training to prevent and manage. Our nursing staff are IV-certified, and a physician is always available on-site during drip sessions.

This treatment is ideal for individuals who:

Have visible fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.

Want to reverse sun damage, age spots, or uneven skin tone.

PowerGlow IV drips are generally safe for healthy adults, but certain conditions warrant caution or avoidance. Patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency should not receive high-dose IV vitamin C, as it can trigger haemolytic anaemia. Kidney disease impairs the clearance of infused nutrients, so renal function should be confirmed before treatment. Patients with sulfa allergies may react to certain glutathione formulations.
