Frequently Asked Questions About Shiratama IV Drip

Q

What are the benefits of a shiratama IV drip?

A

The Shiratama IV drip is expected to help improve dark spots, melasma, and dullness, as well as alleviate stress and chronic fatigue and improve liver function.

Glutathione, the main ingredient, has antioxidant properties and helps suppress melanin production, supporting skin brightening and healthy skin from the inside out.

Q

Is a single session of shiratama IV effective?

A

While some people notice a difference after their very first Shiratama IV treatment, the way the effects manifest varies from person to person.

If your goal is skin brightening, skin rejuvenation, or detoxification, you may not notice significant results after just one session, so it’s important to continue receiving treatments based on your specific goals.

Q

Who is the Shiratama IV drip recommended for?

A

The Shiratama IV drip is ideal for those concerned about age spots, melasma, or dull skin, as well as those experiencing stress or chronic fatigue.

It’s also recommended for those concerned about oxidation of the skin and body, as well as those who want to achieve a radiant complexion from the inside out.

Q

What ingredients are in the Shiratama IV drip?

A

The main ingredient in the Shiratama IV drip is glutathione, which is made up of three amino acids: glutamine, cysteine, and glycine.

Glutathione has antioxidant properties, helps inhibit melanin production, and supports liver function.

Q

How often should I get a shiratama IV drip?

A

At YAYOI CLINIC, we generally recommend receiving an IV treatment about once every two weeks if you wish to maintain the effects. Since the appropriate frequency and intervals vary depending on your goals, we will determine the best course of action during your consultation.

Q

How long does a shiratama IV take?

A

A Shiratama IV treatment typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes.

The duration of the procedure varies depending on factors such as the volume of the IV infusion and does not include time spent on consultations or other related activities.

Q

Will I gain weight if I stop taking the shiratama IV drip?

A

It is believed that there is little correlation between stopping shiratama IV drips and weight gain.

Some people experience a temporary loss of appetite after receiving a shiratama IV drip, but since this usually resolves within a few hours, stopping the IV drip does not directly lead to weight gain.

Q

Are there any side effects or risks associated with shiratama IV drips?

A

With shiratama IV therapy, side effects such as swelling or bruising at the injection site, edema, itching, rash, headache, vascular pain, and nausea may occur.

In rare cases, serious symptoms such as anaphylactic shock may occur; therefore, if you experience any concerning symptoms after your treatment, please contact the clinic.

Q

Is the white ball infusion covered by insurance?

A

The Shiratama IV drip is not covered by insurance and is considered an out-of-pocket treatment.

Since these IV treatments are intended for beauty and health maintenance, you will be responsible for the costs.
