These IV infusions promise heaven and earth for brighter, clearer skin and an inside-out glow. They also claim to give faster and more rapid results than any serum or supplement ever could. But are they really the future of skin brightening or just another expensive beauty and wellness flex with questionable science behind it?To get clarity, I spoke to a formally trained Lagos-based skincare therapist and esthetician, Kiki Melissa, who has not only studied this trend deeply but has actually tried it herself.
