This is an office-based procedure that utilizes our advanced compounded formula along with our predictive permeation machines that drive the formula deep into the dermis of the skin where the melanocyte cells reside in order to decrease production of melanin and therefore decrease darkened areas.
Unlike at-home bleaching creams and drugstore products, our professional formula contains no harsh chemicals, making it completely safe even for the most sensitive skin. But in addition, our predictive permeation helps to open the transport channels of the skin in order to drive our formula deeper into the dermis where it is most effective.
This treatment can be specifically performed in any area and most commonly in the vaginal, the surrounding anal area as as, and the entire genita and inner thighs area. In addition lighting of the skin can also be performed on the face, underarms, inner thighs, knees, elbows, and anywhere that darkening has occurred.
This is not surgical skin bleaching, which uses stronger compounds and carries higher risk. Intimate lightening in our office is a gentle, targeted approach designed for sensitive areas to optimize results.
Why Skin Discoloration Happens in Intimate Areas
Skin discoloration in intimate areas is common and treatable. Darkening of the skin in the vulvovaginal intimate area happens frequently post-childbirth or from the result of friction of the inner thighs and vulva rubbing together.
It could be due to hormonal changes, aging, or anything that causes increased friction to the area. It is definitely not a sign of poor hygiene or health, but simply a change in the skin tone with increased melanin production.
This darkened pigmentation area that can happen often leads to increased self-consciousness about uneven skin tone in those areas, and many women and men feel that there is little that can be done to treat those areas.
Fortunately, our Intimate Lightening Program offers a professional, non-invasive solution that utilizes botanical ingredients such as high-dose vitamin C, goji berry, and other proprietary ingredients to safely brighten the skin without harsh chemicals or downtime.
How Intimate Lightening Differs from At-Home Bleaching
At-home bleaching creams and kits typically contain harsher chemicals that can cause irritation, chemical burns, and disruption of healthy vaginal bacteria when used in this intimate area.
However, our professional intimate lightning cream uses safe botanical compounds and are appropriately made for the vulvovaginal area and the perianal area. We also utilize specific devices that open the transport channels in order to drive as much of the bleaching cream into the needed area as possible. By combining professional grade bleaching creams with our medical devices help develop better results then at home lightening systems.
What Happens During an Intimate Lightening Procedure
Every treatment begins with a thorough understanding of the goals you are trying to reach as well as a consultation to make sure you’re a good candidate.
The treatment is typically once a week for six treatments. Each treatment takes about 20 minutes and is completely painless. All activities can be resumed after the treatment.
During the treatment process, we begin with thorough cleaning of the area to remove dead skin cells and biological materials that may contribute to darken pigmentation.
The all-natural lighting solution is then applied directly to the area and our predictive permeation devices will open the transport channels of the skin in order to drive our compounded creams directly into the areas of the dermis where we can find the most significant changes to your skin.
Most patients will notice results after the first treatment, with skin appearing one to two shades lighter after six treatments.
Full results are typically achieved after three to six months, depending on the degree of discoloration and desired outcome.
Intimate and Body Areas That Respond to Skin Lightening Treatment
The areas that we focus on are typically the intimate areas of the vulva-vaginal area, the peri anal area. We can also lighten the nipples, kneecaps, elbows and any body part that feels darker to you.
