How does Intimate Skin Bleaching work?

Intimate skin whitening laser is an advanced non-invasive ablative technology, we gently remove micro thin layers of pigmented surface tissue, as well as targeting directly the pigment in the skin with ultra fast nano and pico second lasers revealing lighter skin and stimulating fresh, less pigmented cell development.


The greatest advantage of this laser technique is that intimate skin bleaching can be achieved fairly quickly and with little effort on your part. An additional benefit of using laser as vaginal bleaching is that the new skin developed will be tighter and smoother because of the stimulated collagen regeneration. Furthermore, there are few side effects and generally a mild sensitivity and temporary redness resolve within a few days.

Common areas are:

 

  • Vaginal bleaching, vulvar bleaching, anal (perianal) bleaching, buttocks bleaching, inner thigh bleaching, bikini line bleaching, underarm bleaching, knee and elbow bleaching can all be performed safely with our lasers

 

Intimate Skin Lightening Before & After

Are You A Candidate for Intimate Skin Bleaching?

To get the best possible results, you need to know if you are a good candidate for vulvar bleaching treatment. A consultation is recommended but generally, you are a good candidate if;

 

  • You fit into an ethnic group, who tends to have darker skin.
  • You are not satisfied with your physical appearance.
  • You are losing confidence due to dark skin.
  • You suffer from stretching and scarring after childbirth, hormonal discoloration, and the signs of aging

 

What causes Intimate Skin darkening?

There are many causes ranging from lifestyle to health. Discoloration of intimate areas, vulva darkening and vaginal darkening can be caused by aging, hormonal changes, pregnancy, infections and medical conditions such as contact dermatitis or STDs, and only a properly trained certified professional can help you determine the best course of action or if Intimate Skin Bleaching (ISB) is right for you. 


There are a few things that you can do in the meantime to prevent the skin from further discoloration; however, they are not guaranteed. Avoiding coffee, dark sodas, and artificial colors in food can help with the discoloration of the peri-anal area, for example. Discontinued use of deodorants that contain alcohol also helps with pigmentation in the underarm area. 


The use of G-strings, not only makes the rectal opening more visible, hence the need for some women to bleach the peri-anal area, but the actual use of G-strings causes the peri-anal (and vaginal) area to become darker with the rubbing of the material (usually nylon) against the skin, causing laceration or burning of the skin. So, women who are frequent users of G-strings tend to have darker peri-anal and vaginal areas.


Shaving and waxing the pubic area causes more pigmentation due to heat, inflammation and friction. In general, anything that produces heat, inflammation, laceration, and friction may cause hyperpigmentation, also known as Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH).


As with anything, you should consult a doctor if you suspect that health is the culprit. A certified personnel is able to determine if a health condition might be present and refer you to an appropriate health provider. A thorough consultation to determine the contraindications is necessary.

How many Intimate Skin Bleaching treatments will I need?

Everyone’s skin is a bit different so there is no hard and fast rule for how long it will take to lighten your skin. An average of 3-4 sessions is what we recommend to get noticeable changes. Again, as everyone is different and reacts differently to the same treatment, the need for more sessions is possible.
