Most people don’t notice when their energy starts slipping. They just get used to feeling a little off. The skin looks duller. Workouts feel heavier. Focus doesn’t come as easily. That slow fade is your body telling you something’s out of sync.
Glutathione is one of the ways we help people find that rhythm again. At Dedham Medical Aesthetics, our Glutathione wellness shot isn’t a fad or a “miracle shot.” It’s part of an approach to health that supports your skin, your metabolism, and your mind all at once. It fits naturally into a wellness routine designed for real life: steady energy, clear skin, sharper focus.
This page walks through what Glutathione actually does, why it matters, and how we use it as part of a functional medicine plan to help patients feel stronger, look refreshed, and stay well for the long run.
Your body makes Glutathione on its own. It’s a mix of three amino acids (cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid) produced mostly in the liver. Think of it as your body’s built-in cleaning crew. It clears out the waste that builds up from stress, late nights, alcohol, and pollution while keeping your immune system running efficiently.
When Glutathione levels dip with age, stress, or illness, your body has to work harder to keep up. That’s when you might notice energy crashes, uneven skin texture, or slower recovery after exercise.
Our Glutathione shot delivers a concentrated dose of this antioxidant directly into your system for faster absorption and better effect. No pills to digest. No waiting weeks to feel a difference, just steady support for your cells and your energy.
Glutathione therapy isn’t just for aesthetic glow. It’s for anyone serious about optimizing their overall wellness. The treatment aligns with functional medicine, which focuses on identifying root causes of imbalance, rather than masking symptoms.
Our multi-disciplinary healthcare team uses this antioxidant as part of a holistic approach to help patients manage stress, inflammation, and oxidative damage. That means it’s as valuable to someone training for a triathlon as it is to a busy professional fighting burnout.
When Glutathione is in balance, things start to click. Your skin looks brighter. You wake up clear-headed. Workouts feel more manageable. The benefits tend to show up gradually, then all at once.
Key benefits of Glutathione may include:
These results don’t happen overnight, but when glutathione becomes part of your ongoing wellness routine, you’ll notice the difference in how you look, feel, and move through your day.
If you’ve been feeling drained, noticing changes in your skin, or searching for a natural way to keep your energy steady, you’re probably a good fit for Glutathione therapy. Many of our Dedham patients use it to help with fatigue, mild discoloration, or that lingering “can’t catch up” feeling after travel or stress.
It’s also a smart option for people who’ve started a weight loss program and want to support their metabolism as they adjust their habits. During your consultation, our team reviews your health history and current medications to make sure the treatment fits safely into your plan.
For anyone juggling work, workouts, and family life, Glutathione can become that behind-the-scenes boost that keeps everything running smoother.
The dosage is administered every three weeks and is injected under your skin and into your muscle. The shots are quick, smooth, and comfortable.
Long days in the sun, city air, and even stress can leave the skin looking flat or blotchy. Glutathione helps by calming inflammation and reducing excess melanin production, the pigment that makes dark spots more visible. Over time, skin looks clearer and smoother, especially when combined with a chemical peel or salicylic acid facial for extra refinement.
As we age, collagen slows down, and oxidative damage speeds up. Glutathione helps restore collagen production, making skin appear smoother and firmer. Combined with DMA’s vitamin infusions or platelet-rich plasma treatments, it promotes natural repair instead of surface-level cover-ups.
Glutathione supports mitochondrial energy, the same process that keeps your brain sharp and your body moving. Patients often describe improved focus, better mood, and fewer afternoon crashes.
You don’t notice your immune system when it’s working well, and that’s the goal. Glutathione keeps immune cells responsive and inflammation in check, so you recover faster from travel, seasonal bugs, or any stretch of overwork. It’s a quiet kind of strength that pays off when stress hits.
For athletes, weekend warriors, or anyone who trains hard, Glutathione helps promote faster recovery, reduce soreness, and enhance athletic performance. Paired with Vitamin C and hydration therapy, it helps maintain peak performance and supports optimizing human performance naturally.
Glutathione assists in clearing free radicals and supports detox pathways in the liver. That’s why many people use it to complement nutrition counseling, balanced eating, or a holistic weight loss program.
For women managing hormonal shifts, Glutathione supports cell function, reduces oxidative stress, and helps restore vitality, especially when used as part of functional medicine plans focused on energy and better health.
Every Glutathione program at DMA begins with a thoughtful, one-on-one consultation in our exclusive private suite or Lab Wellness Lounge in Dedham.
During your session:
Preparation tips:
The shot is quick—usually just a few seconds. One of our nurses will clean the area, typically the arm or hip, and administer the injection. Some patients combine it with a B-12 or Vitamin C shot for added benefit.
You might feel a slight pinch or mild warmth as it’s delivered, but discomfort is minimal. Most people describe it as easier than a standard vaccine shot.
Afterward, you can go right back to your day—no downtime, no restrictions.
There’s no recovery period, no downtime, no weird side effects. You can leave the office and head straight to work, the gym, or home.
Most people start to feel clearer within a day or two. Skin improvements, brighter tone, smoother texture, tend to show up within a few weeks. Keep up a consistent schedule (every four to six weeks works well for most) and the effects build.
Drink water. Eat real food. Sleep well. Those simple habits amplify the treatment’s impact. Our dedicated team keeps in touch and adjusts your plan as needed so results stay steady over time.
Glutathione works best when it’s part of a bigger picture. At DMA, we build that picture with a mix of aesthetic and functional care, nutrition, and movement habits that actually fit your week.
If you’re an athlete pushing for faster recovery, a professional trying to stay sharp through long days, or someone who just wants steadier energy and healthier skin. Whatever your reason, our team helps you put together a routine that’s realistic and sustainable.
Many patients combine Glutathione with Platelet-Rich Plasma treatments, facials, or a structured weight loss program to stay consistent year-round.
Pricing depends on the number of shots in your plan and any combination options (like adding a Vitamin C or B-12 shot). You’ll receive clear pricing before your first session, which includes your consultation and personalized care from our licensed nursing team. Our goal is to keep wellness practical—customized to your needs, transparent in cost, and sustainable long-term.
At Dedham Medical Aesthetics, beauty and wellness aren’t separate. Our dedicated team combines the science of aesthetics with the philosophy of functional medicine.
We believe that true rejuvenation comes from understanding how systems connect: how the liver affects the skin, how stress influences hormones, how nutrition changes everything. That’s why our multi-disciplinary healthcare professionals, from emergency nursing veterans to aesthetic specialists, collaborate to create treatments that deliver both practical solutions and lasting wellness.
We don’t chase buzzwords. We provide personalized treatments, ongoing support, and tailored advice that inspire positive change in real life.
