Darkened skin in intimate places, how to whiten - means and methods

A modern woman strives to look well-groomed, sophisticated and sexy. Beautiful hair, nails, clear skin, neat eyebrows and, most importantly, a well-groomed and attractive intimate area.

Caring for intimate beauty is becoming increasingly popular today. Women want to be beautiful not only on the outside, taking care of visible parts of the body, but also in intimate areas. More and more attention is being paid to maintaining the freshness and youth of the genital organs, as a guarantee of high-quality sexual life and sensual relationships with a man.

One of the most common problems faced by women is the problem of excessive pigmentation of the genitals.

Why do some people have a nice light monochromatic color on their bikini area, while others, even young girls, have it diluted with various chocolate-colored spots? Why does excessive pigmentation of the genital organs occur?

Exfoliation (peeling) with acids

Exfoliation with acids is a cosmetic procedure that helps even out skin color and increase blood circulation in cells. Most often, the following types of acids are used for this bleaching technique:

• dairy;
• wine;
• lemon;
• azelaic;
• koyaeva;
• ascorbic acid;
• retinoic and others.

In addition, whitening peeling , based on the use of herbal preparations (for example, bearberry or paper mulberry extract). There are also various creams with a whitening effect , the active ingredient of which is hydroquinone.

Why does the skin in intimate places darken?

Over time, the skin of the intimate area loses its color, and at the same time its velvety texture. Sometimes this happens at a fairly young age: some girls already from 20-25 years old begin to complain about this problem.

The modern woman cares not only about the beauty of her facial skin, but also all other parts of her body.

There can be many reasons for the appearance of pigmentation:

1. Since we wear underwear and clothes almost all the time, the skin in the perineal area is constantly in rather stuffy conditions. She experiences a deficiency of oxygen necessary for normal regeneration of epidermal cells.
2. The intimate area constantly rubs against the underwear, which has seams and lace that has a relief structure. Perhaps these elements do not rub so much that it is clearly felt, but even a slight impact on the skin is enough to change the texture to a rougher one and start the darkening process.
3. Excess weight can also cause skin discoloration. When the intimate area is hidden behind folds of fat, it literally begins to swell. Sometimes not only she, but also the inner surface of the thighs. All this has an extremely negative effect on the condition of the epidermis, and dark spots begin to appear on it. It is imperative to lose weight, otherwise all attempts to whiten your skin may be useless.
4. Epilation can negatively affect the condition of the skin. For example, if you use a razor every day, the very top layer of the epidermis will be constantly “scraped off” and subjected to a kind of peeling. It seems that outwardly it is absolutely not noticeable, but at the cellular level, microtraumas are caused to the skin every day. In defense, she becomes rougher and darker. And a persistent change in color after hardware procedures such as photoepilation or laser hair removal may indicate a burn.
5. Hormonal changes, primarily age-related, can also cause darkening of the skin.
6. If, along with a change in the shade of the intimate area, itching and soreness are felt there, then the cause of the problem is most likely medical in nature. So, darkening and swelling may indicate that an allergic reaction is developing, and if itching is also added to this, then it may be thrush or even an increase in blood sugar. Of course, in this case it is necessary to deal with the cause. The use of cosmetic whitening products by itself will not give a noticeable effect.

Not only the skin of the intimate area is prone to darkening, but also other areas that are subject to constant rubbing

Whitening the groin of dark skin quickly and effectively - creams

Both in salons and at home, you can use special skin whitening creams in intimate places. Many cosmetic companies now produce such products.

Such creams and gels are especially in demand among dark-skinned women from Asian countries, since their white skin color is considered more aristocratic. And the problem with dark skin color in the bikini area is much more common among them than among beauties with fair skin.

You can purchase lightening cream in cosmetics stores, pharmacies, or order online. Some creams can be used not only to lighten the skin in the groin, but also on the face, under the arms and other parts of the body. Some creams are made based on chemical components, such as:

• ascorbic acid,
• azelaic acid,

• lemon juice,
• parsley,
• bearberry, etc.

When using these creams, you should not expect quick results. Depending on the degree of pigmentation, it may take several weeks for it to completely or partially lighten. Sometimes the course needs to be repeated. But the advantage of this method is the fact that there is no rehabilitation period. Therefore, it can be used even in summer and before going to the resort.

But often manufacturers use both chemical and herbal components.

The combined composition of creams increases the effectiveness of creams and prevents possible negative consequences of exposure to chemicals.

Services

Whitening of the intimate area in a medical clinic is carried out by gynecologists using two methods

• using fractional CO2 laser ERASER-C
• using chemical peeling

The procedure is performed on patients over 18 years of age after consultation and examination by a specialist.

Intimate whitening is the elimination of pigmentation of varying degrees in the following areas of the skin:

• pubis
• inner thighs around the intimate area
• labia majora and minora (only with fractional CO2 laser ERASER-C)
• area of ​​the posterior commissure of the labia

• microtrauma of the skin due to too tight underwear and trousers
• chafing of the skin of the inner thighs if you are overweight
• skin trauma during depilation, especially during the beach season (failure to follow skin care rules after various types of depilation)
• tanning in a solarium without using special products

INTIMATE LASER WHITENING

The ERASER-C device is a modern fractional CO2 laser operating using scanner technology. As a result of controlled laser exposure, the natural regeneration process is launched. Cells in undamaged areas are activated, and due to them, collagen cells are renewed in damaged areas. New collagen cells contribute to the restoration of damaged areas and comprehensive skin whitening.

EXAMINATIONS BEFORE LASER WHITENING OF THE INTIMATE AREA

• gynecologist appointment, perineal examination
• flora smear
• smear for oncocytology
• rapid test for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, C (blood test is performed in our laboratory within 30 minutes)

When the test results are ready and do not cause any contraindications, the gynecologist sets a date for the procedure.

HOW IS INTIMATE LASER WHITENING PERFORMED?

Laser pigmentation removal is performed on an outpatient basis. The patient is placed on a gynecological chair. The labia, skin of the thighs around the intimate area, anus, and perianal area are treated with an antiseptic, and an anesthetic spray is applied for 5-7 minutes. The gynecologist uses a special CO2 laser attachment to pass through the perineal area and its individual parts several times.

Under the influence of high temperatures of the laser beam, blood flow and tissue metabolism improve, cell renewal, collagen and elastin production, and tissue regeneration are triggered. The laser precisely heats and evaporates pigmentation areas. During the session, the patient may feel a slight tingling and burning sensation. After the procedure, the intimate area is treated with antibacterial agents. Pigmented areas become lighter after each procedure.

Anesthesia before the procedure.

Duration of 1 session – 60 minutes.

Course – 1-3 sessions, after 1 month. The number of sessions depends on the “age” and saturation of the pigmented areas and is selected individually.

There are no scars or scars left after the procedure.

INTIMATE WHITENING WITH PEELING

No anesthesia is required.

Duration of 1 session – 40 minutes.

Course – 6-10 sessions, every 7-14 days.

The effect is noticeable immediately after complete restoration of the skin (after 3-7 days). After the procedure, it is extremely rare to experience peeling, a feeling of dryness, or redness. The results are visible after the 1st session and increase noticeably with each procedure.
