A glutathione IV drip gives glutathione, an antioxidant the body makes naturally, directly into a vein through a slow drip. People ask for it as part of a skin glow and wellness routine. At 7 Dimensions Medical Center (7DMC) every glutathione drip starts with a medical screening, and we are clear about what the science does and does not show: evidence for effects on the skin is limited. We offer IV therapy at our Jumeirah (Umm Suqeim 3) and Al Barsha (Arjan) branches.
Glutathione is a small molecule made in the body from three amino acids (glutamate, cysteine and glycine). It is one of the body's main antioxidants and helps the liver process substances and protect cells from oxidative stress. Levels can be lower with age, illness, smoking and some medicines.
In a glutathione drip, a measured dose is mixed into a saline drip and given slowly into a vein, often with vitamin C. Giving it into a vein avoids the gut, where much of swallowed glutathione is broken down.
Research on glutathione for the skin is still limited. A few small studies of glutathione, mostly given as tablets or creams, suggest a modest effect on skin tone in some people, but the results are mixed, the studies are short, and good-quality evidence for IV glutathione is lacking. Health regulators in several countries have warned against using injected glutathione to lighten the skin. At 7DMC, a glutathione drip is offered as an antioxidant drip after a medical check, not as a skin-lightening treatment, and no particular result is promised.
For skin concerns, treatments with stronger evidence that our doctors may also suggest options such as skin boosters, chemical peels or pigmentation treatment.

Glutathione is not a quick fix, and there is no agreed number of drips for any skin result. Some people say their skin looks fresher during a course; others notice no change. Your doctor advises whether, and how often, to repeat the drip, and checks in with you before each one. Results vary from person to person.
Any IV treatment carries risks, and a glutathione drip is no different. Common, short-lived effects are discomfort, bruising or irritation where the needle went in. Some people feel nauseous, dizzy, flushed or have a headache. Allergic reactions can happen and, rarely, can be severe, which is why drips are given in a clinic with medical staff and emergency equipment. People with asthma may get wheezing or breathing symptoms. Infection or inflammation of the vein is uncommon. Long-term safety of repeated high doses is not well studied. Your doctor explains the risks for you before your first drip.
The cost of a glutathione IV drip in Dubai usually ranges from AED 300 to AED 1,800 per drip, depending on the dose, what is added to the drip and the clinic. These are typical market prices across Dubai clinics, not a 7DMC price list. At 7DMC, your exact price is confirmed at your consultation, before any treatment.

The evidence is limited and mixed. Some small studies suggest a modest effect on skin tone, mostly with tablets or creams, and good-quality research on IV glutathione is lacking. Sun protection and skin treatments with stronger evidence matter more.
We do not offer it as a skin-lightening treatment. Health regulators in several countries have warned against injected glutathione for skin lightening, and no result can be promised.
For screened, healthy adults it is generally well tolerated, but side effects such as bruising, nausea, headache and allergic reactions can happen. That is why every first drip at 7DMC starts with a medical check.
There is no proven number. Your doctor advises whether to repeat the drip and how often, based on your health and goals.
An injection gives a dose quickly into a vein, while a drip gives it slowly with fluid over 30 to 45 minutes. At 7DMC your doctor decides the most suitable way for you.
7DMC offers IV therapy at two branches: Jumeirah, in Umm Suqeim 3 opposite Jumeirah Beach Hotel, and Al Barsha, in Arjan, Al Barsha South.
