Genital Area Bleaching

What is Genital Area Bleaching (Vulvar Bleaching)?

Aesthetic treatments applied to the genital area are becoming more popular day by day. Reducing the labia minora, plumping the labia majora and vaginal rejuvenation, as well as bleaching the dark skin in the genital area, that is, genital bleaching (vulvar bleaching) are among the frequently preferred applications in recent years.

Why Does the Genital Area Darken?

Due to the epilation methods applied to the genital area, the dark skin color under the hairy area has become more visible.

Genital darkening (darkening, hyperpigmentation) is the darkening of the skin around the anal and genital area in both women and men. Excessive hyperpigmentation of the skin, ie darkening of the skin color of the genital area, may occur due to aging, hormonal problems, vaginal infections, postpartum scar tissue development or genetic reasons. It is usually evident in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, or dark-skinned women.

Although various solutions have been proposed to solve the problem of dark pigmentation of the genital skin, none of these treatments gives a permanent and satisfactory result. Topical chemicals applied to the vulvar and anal area together have caused many skin problems and the results are temporary. Since the skin in this area is very sensitive, many complications can occur with the application of chemical agents. Therefore, the best and most advanced way to remove hyperpigmentation is laser application. In recent years, Vulvar / Anal bleaching technology with CO2 laser is preferred for lightening the skin color in the genital-anal area and for permanent results.

The darkening that occurs in the genital area is due to the high concentration of melanin under the epidermis in that area. Laser genital area whitening method is an application that depresses the melanin in the genital area skin by using Femilift Pixel CO2 laser , it is aimed to remove the dark layer in the epidermis. Laser-damaged melanin pigments are reabsorbed by the lymphatic system and fibroblasts regenerate collagen and elastin, improving the skin’s appearance and pores, giving the area a more youthful and harmonious appearance.

How is Genital Area Whitening Made with Laser?

Laser vagina whitening (Vulvar bleaching, genital-anal bleaching) is a non-invasive procedure that takes less than 1 hour. The duration and number of applications may vary from person to person, depending on the current skin color, desired skin tone and the body’s natural reaction to the laser. The average number of applications varies between 1-3. However, even after the first treatment, you will see an immediate difference in your skin tone and will lighten well with the next application.

Application

Since the laser genital area bleaching is a non-invasive and painless procedure, it is performed without general anesthesia and therefore does not require hospitalization.

After the application, the patient can return to his usual normal life routine. It is important that you follow all procedures prescribed by your doctor.

Results
