Laser whitening of intimate areas in 1 procedure

Pigment spots on intimate places or an excessively dark color of the perineum are not only a reason for embarrassment and awkwardness during intimacy. For dancers, actors, athletes and models, perineal pigmentation can be a career killer.

We have equipped the clinic with a modern generation of lasers, which in one session allow you to lighten the intimate area and forget about pigmentation-related problems forever.

Light peeling and redness of the skin disappears on the second day after the procedure.

What should the normal color of the intimate area be?

Let us clarify right away - usually the normal color of healthy skin in the intimate areas of men and women is still darker than the color of the entire body. The area around the anus, the perineal area, and the vulva area are most often naturally more pigmented.

But skin bleaching in intimate places and bleaching the anus is not always just a fashion caused by our desire to correspond to a certain aesthetic ideal.

It often happens that for many reasons (more on this below), the intimate area becomes a pronounced brown color, which is obvious even through underwear. At times, the dark color does not appear evenly, but in spots. In this case, undoubtedly, getting rid of pigmentation will be the most reasonable decision, which will allow you to return to a full intimate life, to your favorite underwear and to your favorite sport without shame and fear.

Localization Features

Inguinal pigment spots may appear due to the following conditions:

pigment spots in the groin as a consequence of inflammation due to poor hygiene, dirty water, masturbation, frequent changes of sex partners;
pubic eczema, fungi (spots begin to itch);
chloasma is the result of puberty, hormonal changes in the body, and aging.

If there are black and dark spots between the legs, in the bikini area, this may indicate reasons such as:

chloasma;
the result of thighs rubbing against each other as a result of excess weight or peculiarity; anatomical structure of the hip region;
liver diseases;
polycystic ovary syndrome;
diabetes;
excess adrenal hormone.

If we are talking about dark-colored spots on the external genitalia, anus, then they are provoked by the following factors:

genetic predisposition, normal variant;
inflammation of the internal and external genital organs;
venereal diseases;
the result of an allergic reaction to condom lubricant;
the result of taking hormonal contraceptives;
taking certain medications;
result of injury or surgery.

What causes pigmentation in the intimate area?

Why does the skin in intimate areas change color? The causes of pigmentation can be different. Here is a short list of what determines the color of the crotch.

You wear uncomfortable tight underwear, especially synthetic ones, because of which your delicate skin is constantly exposed to mechanical irritation. In response to it, pigment cells present in the skin - melanocytes - make the perineal area darker.
Increased sweating in the intimate area is usually a problem for overweight people.
Skin irritation due to improper depilation, use of incorrectly selected cosmetics and hygiene products.
In addition to the listed “external” reasons, skin pigmentation in intimate areas can be caused by “internal” reasons - infectious diseases, fungus, endocrine problems, diseases of internal organs, taking hormonal drugs and antibiotics.
Among other things, the perineal area may become darker during pregnancy and after childbirth, as well as with age.
Hyperpigmentation may simply be a congenital feature.

We strongly do not recommend lightening your intimate areas at home.

The Internet is replete with recipes that supposedly came to us from time immemorial. Lemon, cucumber, bearberry, parsley, licorice - the whole garden is at your service. Sometimes they offer radical measures such as bleaching the skin of the perineum with hydrogen peroxide.

If you really want to try to lighten the anus, correct the color of the vulva and labia using folk methods, do not forget that the perineal area is called the “delicate zone” for a reason. It is riddled with nerve endings and blood vessels. Therefore, any home skin lightening in intimate places can provoke a pronounced pain reaction and swelling, against the background of which pigmentation will seem like the most insignificant of the problems. Essential oils in parsley can cause an allergic reaction, and peroxide can simply burn the mucous membrane.

Causes of age spots

The reasons for the formation of age spots on the body are quite different. These include:

Excess UV rays resulting from tanning.
Skin irritation (including sunburn).
Uncomfortable tight underwear made of synthetics or with lace elements.
Changes in hormonal levels. In women, they can be caused, for example, by pregnancy, childbirth or long-term use of oral contraceptives.
Age-related changes.
Stress.
Metabolic disease.
Taking certain medications or cosmetics.
Disruption of internal organs.
Heredity.

Surprisingly, hyperpigmentation can persist even though the underlying cause is no longer present. Returning your skin to its normal color is a natural desire that you should not be ashamed of. One of the effective modern methods of skin whitening is the treatment of age spots with IPL Quantum light pulses.

How to lighten skin in intimate areas without risking health

In order to quickly remove pigmentation and change the color of the anus and vulva, we at Platinental use safe laser lightening of intimate areas.

Laser lightening of the anus and intimate area - bleeding - is a non-traumatic procedure that does not in any way interfere with the usual course of life.

Expert comment:

“The attachment used for laser whitening of the perineum is the same as the one used on the face. The laser is switched to the “whitening” mode and the entire pigmented area is sequentially processed. It will take no more than 15 minutes to lighten the entire perineum.

All processing is done only manually under local anesthesia: we use Emla cream for pain relief.”

Diagnosis and treatment

If the skin in certain areas has darkened and remains so for a long time, do not postpone a visit to the clinic. The specialist will perform a differential diagnosis, conduct a histological examination, and then confirm or refute the diagnosis.

Treatment is complex and involves both symptomatic measures and treatment of the underlying disease that provoked acanthosis. The patient may be prescribed vitamin complexes and restorative medications, anti-inflammatory ointments, zinc tablets, and baths with potassium permanganate. In severe cases, hormonal agents and cytostatics, antibacterial therapy and neurotropic drugs are used - always while following a strict diet. If the papillomas have grown seriously, they are removed.

If you discover darkening, do not put off your visit to the dermatologist. Sometimes this manifestation hides oncological diseases, which can still be affected at an early stage, while there are no general symptoms.

Rehabilitation after the procedure

During the rehabilitation process, local use of Bepanten cream is recommended.

Redness and slight peeling, the same as after facial peeling, disappear within one to three days.

After the laser procedure, you should not wear any thongs or synthetic underwear - wait until the recovery is complete. For several days you cannot take a hot bath or shower, or visit the bathhouse or sauna. The beach and bright sun are also prohibited for 14 days. Sex is not advisable for 5-7 days.

Recommendations from experts

To minimize dangerous risks, never perform phototherapy on age spots in the summer. In most cases, undesirable consequences are the result of neglecting the recommendations that must be followed for some time after the photo removal procedure:

For two weeks, visiting the solarium, sauna, bathhouse, and swimming pool is prohibited.
You need to protect your body from exposure to ultraviolet radiation for a month.
Treat the skin with Bepanten or Panthenol twice a day. Continue for at least 10 days.

Dermatime: intimate peelings for a delicate and effective procedure

The main advantage of Dermatime products is its carefully balanced composition, which corrects the problem without harming the soft tissues of the intimate area. For effective whitening and rejuvenation of the anogenital area, the Spanish brand Dermatime offers several drugs, different combinations of which allow you to achieve the desired result:

brightening and evening out skin tone;
elimination of pigmentation of various origins;
restoration of physiological processes and launch of neocollagen production: the skin becomes more hydrated, firmer and looks younger;
deeper penetration of active ingredients included in daily care.

The “headliner” of the intimate peeling procedure can easily be called the VITA C KOJIC Brightening Micro-Exfoliating Gel Mask , which is used in all Dermatime protocols and is used as the basis for peeling. The product contains highly concentrated vitamin C and kojic acid with intense antioxidant and revitalizing effects. The gel mask delicately exfoliates the skin and has a pronounced brightening, rejuvenating, strengthening and moisturizing effect on the intimate area.

As the main peeling agent, the doctor can choose the most suitable of three options: azelaic, milky or pyruvic.

Azelaic gel peeling Azelaic A20+ is ideally suited to the physiological environment of the intimate area, performing its work most delicately. It contains azelaic (20%) and phytic (2.4%) acids, which have a powerful antioxidant, brightening and rejuvenating effect. It also contains plant extracts that have anti-inflammatory and vascular strengthening effects. This significantly improves and evens out skin tone, because pigmentation can occur due to vascular disorders and inflammatory processes.

Moisturizing milky peeling Argilactic A Peeling Gel (20%) in gel form is more suitable for a rejuvenating effect on sensitive skin. It has a mild exfoliating and sebostatic effect, prevents the development of the inflammatory process; stimulates the synthesis of collagen, elastin and fibronectin, tightening and rejuvenating the skin. Lactic acid also has a whitening effect by inhibiting the synthesis of tyrosinase.

Pyruvic A40 pyruvic peeling, based on a combination of stabilized pyruvic and lactic acids in aqueous-alcoholic form, actively stimulates the synthesis of collagen, elastin and glycoproteins, and has a depigmenting and anti-inflammatory effect. After use, the tone and texture of the skin are evened out, and the turgor of soft tissues increases. This product is more suitable for normal, combination and oily skin. Does not cause severe burning, erythema or dehydration of the skin.

Sealing peels:

Yellow peeling Retinol 5n RRT ( 5%) with encapsulated retinol. This is a light, non-irritating peeling with gentle exfoliation. Its main properties: enhances enzyme activity, normalizes keratinization, regulates proliferation and mobility of melanocytes, evens out skin color and texture;
Retinol peeling Retinol 5n RRT (5%) is used for revitalizing and powerful anti-aging effects. Recommended for very sensitive skin intolerant to retinol. Retinol in the product enhances enzyme activity and regulates the mobility of melanocytes. The color and texture of the skin is evened out, pigmentation is eliminated and skin turgor increases.

Photorejuvenation and laser resurfacing

Hardware procedures provide the fastest results. The desired result is achieved in 1 – 4 sessions, depending on the severity of the defects.

The most common methods include:

Photorejuvenation.
Laser resurfacing.

The first method has the following effect:

improves perineal tone;
tightens sagging labia;
eliminates pigment spots, scars and other defects;
relieves vaginal dryness.

Photorejuvenation is more suitable for women who suffer from multiple problems in the intimate area. The procedure is most often used at the age of 40 years.

Laser resurfacing is designed to improve the appearance of the perineum - eliminating increased pigmentation, scars, and light spots. After several procedures, the defects disappear completely, and the result lasts for a long time (in the absence of serious pathologies that provoke increased pigmentation). As a bonus, a woman receives tightened skin and increased self-esteem.

Contraindications:

individual intolerance to electrical procedures;
pregnancy and lactation;
visiting a solarium or staying in the active sun less than a month before the procedure;
thrombophlebitis;
malignant neoplasms;
diffuse connective tissue diseases;
tendency to keloid and hypertrophic scars;
immunodeficiency states;
somatic diseases during exacerbation;
blood clotting disorder;
inflammatory, infectious or viral process in the acute stage;
elevated temperature;
diabetes;
taking medications that increase photosensitivity (for example, retinoids);
presence of a pacemaker.

Before and after laser treatment, you should not peel or scrub the treatment area. Usually the cosmetologist gives clear instructions on how to care for this area, these recommendations must be followed strictly.

The procedure itself takes from 15 to 30 minutes and is carried out every 1 month.

In the first days after lightening, darkening of the treated areas is observed, this is due to increased cell division, then the darkened areas become covered with a thin crust and are peeled off (cleaned off) from the surface of the skin and become lighter.

The disadvantages of hardware procedures include:

high cost;
the likelihood of developing side effects (this happens if the doctor is not properly qualified or if the recommendations are not followed);
a long list of contraindications;
temporary discomfort in the treated area.

Laser resurfacing gives the fastest lightening results compared to other methods, but do not forget about contraindications.

Skin whitening between legs

Skin whitening of intimate areas of the body: the vulva, labia and adjacent areas is of increasing interest among women aged 18 years and older. The reason is simple - many women are embarrassed by the color of their vulva and anus, and feel uncomfortable when someone sees their perineum, be it a cosmetologist, a gynecologist, or even a bed partner.

As a rule, the younger a woman is, the lighter and pinker her lips are. With the onset of sexual activity, the external genitalia darken. Moreover, according to some observations, the color of the labia minora in brunettes is often dark brown, while in blondes they are usually light or pink. The reason is quite understandable - they have different skin pigmentation. Further on the link you can find out in more detail why it can be dark between girls’ legs. The procedure for whitening the skin of intimate places in the salon is precisely designed to make the deep bikini area lighter.

Anal whitening

Are you brave enough to try anal bleaching? The bizarre trend comes after some Western female celebrities admitted to bleaching their anal area. The procedure involves lightening the color of the skin around the anus with special cosmetics (NOT laser!). This is done purely for aesthetic reasons, so that the skin around the anus is the same color as on the buttocks. Anal bleaching does not mean that a woman wants exactly “that” sex or is obsessed with it. It's just about confidence in every centimeter of your body.

The dangers of laser anal bleaching

Be careful - if laser bleaching of the anus and labia is performed unsanitarily or by an insufficiently trained person, it can cause cold sores, scarring and infection. It can also lead to strictures, which narrow the anus and make it difficult to have a bowel movement, or lead to tears in the anal canal when intercourse enters the rectum.

Bikini whitening

From a medical point of view, “bikini area whitening” is a cosmetic procedure that lightens the skin of the perineum, labia majora (outer) labia, clitoris, and around the anus. This medical service is performed for aesthetic purposes to lighten the skin color of the area, conventionally called the “deep bikini”). Bikini skin lightening in salons is often done with laser machines: we do not use this technology due to the increased risk of side effects (see link at the bottom of the page).

Whitening labia

It is completely normal and natural for the areas around the vagina to become darker, but it may not be aesthetically attractive. These spots can be successfully lightened by a combination of professional labia bleaching treatments at a salon and following at-home aftercare recommendations. If you have a history of diabetes, lupus, psoriasis, herpes, or unremoved genital warts, you cannot undergo whitening at this time. According to doctors, the intimate area should be completely healthy in appearance before starting treatment for darkening. Keep in mind that perineal hyperpigmentation is one of the most challenging skin conditions, so packages of a minimum of three to four treatments are recommended.

Why do I want to bleach my intimate area?

The dark color of sensitive areas can evoke conflicting emotions in girls. Many people do not pay attention, for example, to a darkened anus, since it is not outwardly noticeable in everyday life and is not accompanied by any unpleasant sensations. Others consider it ugly and are embarrassed to expose themselves in front of their boyfriend, when epilating a deep bikini in a beauty salon in front of a cosmetologist, or even in front of a gynecologist. After all, the discrepancy between the dark color of the skin of the intimate area and the light skin of the buttocks and thighs in contrast forms the visually perceived effect of an unattractive, “dirty” perineum. In addition, there are situations when in showers, locker rooms of fitness clubs and other places, everything unusual can become the subject of increased attention and discussion among friends or just others. For example, the anal area or labia minora of a girl of a dark, almost black color, accidentally revealed to the eye, will with almost 100% probability, voluntarily or involuntarily, attract curious glances.

Thus, dark genitals are not a medical indication for intimate bleaching or special treatment. However, this situation may contradict women's aesthetic ideas. Therefore, they resort to bleaching (whitening) in a salon or clinic. Usually, girls undergo intimate skin bleaching procedures for a deep bikini completely, although sometimes there are wishes to bleach only the anus and the skin around it, or limit it to the area of the labia majora.

By the way, this procedure is very popular, especially among young girls, and is associated with the lightening of the labia. But you should keep in mind that only the outer (large) lips can be bleached. If the labia minora (inner) have blackened, wrinkled edges, then intimate whitening of them in a salon or at home is pointless. The problem can only be solved radically, but for good - labiaplasty surgery!

Rash due to thrush in women

Candidiasis or thrush is an infectious and inflammatory disease caused by the proliferation of fungi of the genus Candida. Pathology occurs in almost every woman, because Candida is part of the opportunistic flora of the genital tract. Decreased immunity allows microorganisms to actively multiply, which leads to the appearance of characteristic symptoms.

The main symptom of the development of thrush is a cheesy white discharge from the vagina. Then an unpleasant red rash appears on the skin and mucous membranes of the genital organs. The rashes often itch, which is very irritating and provokes scratching of the affected areas. The woman also feels a burning sensation, which intensifies during sexual intercourse and urination. Pimples on the genitals with thrush are always covered with a white coating. This is the main sign of the development of a fungal infection.

Preparatory procedures before lightening

To achieve the best result, it is recommended to carry out preparations before lightening, namely:

do hair removal two to three days before the procedure;
remove dead skin cells using special lightening agents.

Hair removal is carried out:

razor;
wax stripes;
depilatory cream;
electroepilator and other methods.

Depilation with hot wax is preferable in this case.

The main thing is to choose a less traumatic option for yourself. For cleansing, it is better to take gentle scrubs suitable for sensitive skin. You cannot begin lightening immediately after the preparatory procedures; it is better to do this the next day, when redness and irritation have completely disappeared.

To cleanse the area around the anus, labia or scrotum, it is not recommended to use scrubs with large particles (salt, ground coffee beans, apricot kernels).

The use of rough products will cause severe irritation, and lightening will have to be postponed.

Precautionary measures

Use intimate area whitening products carefully, taking into account the body’s reaction and the consequences of their use. That is, the question: “Is it worth it?” — must be asked constantly. This is especially true for the use of chemicals. It would seem that a cream with hydroquinone - what’s seditious about it? However, after reading the instructions, looking up materials about this hydroquinone - a carcinogen that can cause skin cancer, you are already thinking: “Do I need it?”

Basically, it should be remembered that after using lightening products, the skin requires moisturizing and replenishing nutrients. Read the instructions for use carefully and remember that the whitening procedure in the armpits will be slightly different from other intimate areas.
