Discoloration of the intimate areas
Every person is unique. For example, each individual has certain characteristics that only belong to him/her, including skin color. Responsible for this process is a substance called melanin. The smaller the amount present in the body, the lighter the skin color. For dark skinned, this is the exact opposite. The skin can discolor locally due to various factors, this is called hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation often develops as a result of shaving, waxing, excessive solar radiation, obesity, skin aging, injuries in the perineal area or rubbing underwear. Hyperpigmentation can also occur after childbirth. This is often due to hormone changes. Too dry and rough skin of the perineum and groin folds gradually darkens and can be the cause of hyperpigmentation even at the age of 25 – 30 years. The skin can become covered with non-aesthetic pigment spots after certain diseases, taking certain medicines and due to inflammatory processes.
Intimate whitening removes the top layer of the skin. This slows down the production of melanin. This reduces the pigmentation. By applying the treatment, small damages in the skin disappear. Think of traces of scars, small wrinkles or pigmentation. After the treatment, the skin turns lighter.
The following areas can be treated with intimate bleaching:
- Pubic bone
- Labia
- The area around the anus
- Inner thighs
- Armpits
- Areolas of the nipples
- Dark stripe on the belly
- Knees
- Elbows
Benefits of bleaching in the salon
It is hardly possible to carry out the treatment at home. Various products can cause burns, irritation and weakening of the skin – this will give a boost to the reproduction of the microflora. Modern cosmetology allows you to eliminate hyperpigmentation in the perineum. The first results appear after the first session – the skin becomes noticeably brighter, its structure improves, slackness disappears and a general rejuvenation of the skin is noted. After several sessions, you can lighten several shades, achieve ideal smoothness and elasticity of the skin. The method is safe and does not cause pain.
Whitening at home
Sometimes there are easy ways to treat hyperpigmentation at home on the internet. The Internet may issue whitening recipes using white clay at this request. It undoubtedly has such properties but is only used to brighten up the face. This is not suitable for treating the intimate area as this is not her area of impact. This (cruel) method of whitening the skin is often mentioned – using hydrogen peroxide, but in fact, apart from a burn, and then discomfort and prolonged non-healing injuries, this experiment will do nothing.
Number of treatments
This is a course of maximum 4 – 6 times, and then it is necessary to repeat 1 – 2 times every 3 – 6 months to maintain the result. This depends on your skin type and the degree of pigmentation. There is 1 – 2 weeks between each treatment.
Procedure:
A treatment consists of the following phases:
- Cleaning and degreasing of the skin using cosmetic products.
- Apply the bleach to the desired area. The chemical remains on the skin for a few minutes, after which it is removed from the skin.
- The specialist will apply an emollient to the treated areas.
- The bleaching agents used gently attack the skin and do not damage it. Therefore, the procedure has a short recovery period.
After the intimate bleaching treatment
When you have undergone an intimate whitening treatment, the effect is immediately visible. However, it is wise not to shower until the next day and to clean the treated skin without soap.
Within 7-10 days of lightening, the skin begins to exfoliate and actively renew itself. During this period it is necessary:
- To refuse sexual contacts
- Do not visit the bath/sauna/solarium
- Don’t sunbathe
- Do not take hot baths and showers
- Don’t wear tight underwear
- Do not swim in open water and pools
- Apply creams to the skin that soften the skin and speed up the regeneration process
- Why does the skin darken in intimate areas?
Darker skin color in the groin area is a natural phenomenon that occurs in many women. However, hyperpigmentation in this area can be associated with several diseases and conditions:
- Aging (pigmentation due to age-related causes)
- Genetic predisposition
- Skin characteristics
- Sunlight (dead skin cells grow on the elbows and knees, while retaining the ability to absorb sunlight. It is sunlight that darkens them)
- Friction (as dead skin cells grow on top of each other, the outer layer thickens and hardens. These dead cells are dead cells and give a darker shade than normal living skin.)
- The consequence of being overweight – friction of the skin with the inside of the thigh
- Systematic wearing of tight underwear
- Frequent use of chemicals
- Obesity (in this case, the excess skin will rub, rush)
- Hormonal imbalance, endocrine diseases
- Skin hyperpigmentation
- Treatment with hormone-containing drugs
- Dermatological diseases
- Ignition process
- Pregnancy and lactation
- Injuries and surgeries in the perineal area
Contraindications to the procedure:
- Oncology, as well as the stage of remission
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding
- Diabetes mellitus
- Weak immune system in general
- Violation of blood clotting; haemophilia; taking blood thinners
- Inflammation, wounds on the treated area, injuries and any violations of the integrity of the skin
- Skin diseases of the labia
- Skin diseases in the acute phase
- Viral skin diseases (herpes)
- Metal prostheses
- Allergy to sunlight
- High bloodpressure
- Damage to internal organs
- Strong body color or traces of a fresh color
- Individual intolerance to peeling components
- Skin hypersensitivity
- Tattoo (if bleaching is done where the tattoo is, it will be damaged)
- Epilepsy, severe psychiatric illness
- Pigmentation of the female intimate zone, as an aesthetic imperfection, occurs due to a number of reasons:
– Hormonal imbalance: often hormonal imbalances affect the condition of the skin and blood vessels, it is in the intimate areas of the body, for example, during breastfeeding or during age-related changes in the body, intimate areas may darken.
– Age changes: Age appears to be another risk factor; over the years, both the elasticity of the skin and its pigmentation change, age also affects the quality of the blood supply in certain parts of the body.
– Pregnancy and childbirth: This factor combines the hormonal background, as well as the probability of injury in the intimate area, the skin can stretch, tear, and so on, as a result – changes in the color of the “intimate areas”.
– Deficiency of hydration/hydration of the mucous membranes and labia: In which the structure of the skin changes. This unpleasant condition can occur at any time, in women and girls of all ages. Deficiency cannot be remedied by drinking, as preventive procedures are needed to retain water molecules.
– Wearing tight, uncomfortable synthetic underwear: Synthetic fabrics do not allow air to pass through, so moisture is retained in the underwear which is a favorable environment for the growth of bacteria, which can lead to the formation of pigment in the intimate area. Constant rubbing and squeezing underwear can also cause the skin in the groin area to darken
At what age can the treatment be given?
From 18 years.
Is the procedure of intimate peeling performed without local anaesthetic?
Intimate peeling does not require anesthesia as it does not cause any discomfort. Both during the procedure and during the rehabilitation period, a burning sensation, itching, irritation or tightness of the skin is completely absent.
How long will the result last after the treatment is completed?
The duration of the effect is influenced by several factors (age, skin type, frequency and duration of UV exposure, adherence to recommendations). On average, the desired result lasts 6 to 8 months. To maintain the result as long as possible, it is recommended to treat the skin 1 – 2 times a week with special brightening intimate cosmetics (creams, serums, scrubs).
Can intimate whitening be combined with other aesthetic procedures (PRP – technology, filling, RF – technology)?
Yes, because an integrated approach always leads to a faster and more pronounced result.
Can dark skin also be bleached?
It is worth knowing that only areas with pigmentation spots can be treated. But naturally dark skin cannot be relieved by cosmetic means.
