Intimate Area Skin Lightening Treatment!

The process of lightening the skin in intimate areas such as the vagina is commonly called vaginal lightening or genital bleaching. This process of improving intimate beauty among women is becoming popular as it is helping them increase their self-confidence.

Bleaching is a common procedure among women that is used for lightening the hair on their arms, lower back, or the lips. In genital bleaching, the darkened area of the skin is bleached to make it lighter in colour. In this process, the area around inner thighs, the labia majora and the portion around the rectum or anus are treated.

Women chose this method when their intimate areas get darkened due to hyperpigmentation. The common causes of this condition are pregnancy and age. Perhaps the oldest method for skin lightening is chemical peel.

Chemical peel process - 

Before the process takes place, the doctor might ask you to stop taking certain drugs to prepare your skin for medications like mendelic acid and lactic acid which are used as peels in intimal areas. You may be prescribed antiviral medicines and antibiotics.

At first, the doctor will clean the skin where you wish to lighten very thoroughly. Then a nontoxic chemical is applied to the skin of the intimate area. The doctor might apply one or more chemicals such as trichloroacetic acid, and lactic acid. This makes the top layer of the skin blister, and then peel off eventually.

As a result, when the outer layer of the skin is removed, the skin cells below it are rejuvenated. Once the new skin cells get stimulated, the layer of skin now will look much younger and smoother.

After the treatment, you might feel a mild burning sensation and a stinging sensation for about 10 minutes.
