That depends on the depth and type of the scars. With few types of peels and derma abrasions depth of the scars can be reduced.

I recently got Glutathione through an IV, and today I drank an iced americano. I'm really worried that the caffeine might cause me to just pee out all the Glutathione because it's a diuretic. Is there any truth to that? Will the Glutathione be wasted because of the caffeine? I'm definitely concerned about this.

While caffeine can have a diuretic effect, it does not necessarily mean that the glutathione will be completely wasted. To help maximize the benefits of the glutathione injection, you can try to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Additionally, you may consider taking a supplement like Vitamin C to help support the effects of glutathione in your body.

I'm thinking about using Skinlite cream for just a week, and I'm a bit worried. Can using it for only seven days cause any harm? Would love your advice.

Using Skinlite cream, which contains hydroquinone, for only 7 days is unlikely to cause significant harm, but it's essential to follow the recommended usage and consult a dermatologist, as prolonged or excessive use can lead to skin darkening, irritation, or other adverse effects.
