What is this procedure

Experts in the field of aesthetic gynecology provide a service called laser whitening of the intimate area, which can lighten skin in 1-2 sessions on the inner thighs, the scrotum of the penis (in men), and the labia minora (in women).

The majority of cosmetology clinics in Russia and the CIS carry out the procedure, which helps manage pigmentation’s aftereffects caused by:

• genetic predisposition;
• pregnancy and childbirth;
• hormonal changes in the body (these also include age-related pigment spots);
• disorders of the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, liver, ovaries;
• frequent use of tight synthetic or lace underwear that impairs proper air exchange of the skin;
• hyperhidrosis;
• irritation caused by the use of low-quality, alcohol-containing skin care products or the removal of unwanted hair on the body;
• infectious diseases, fungal skin lesions;
• taking antibacterial drugs and hormonal medications.

Melanin cells in the skin’s deep and outer layers are destroyed and evaporated as a result of heat pulses produced by the laser beam during the session.

One session lasts no more than 25 to 35 minutes, and it is performed under local anesthesia by a highly skilled specialist. The patient’s skin type and sensitivity are taken into consideration when choosing the laser nozzle, which guarantees optimal comfort and safety throughout the process.

Types of procedure

Two varieties of intimate whitening exist:

• The first is mechanical, is considered by specialists to be "superficial", does not affect the deep layers of the skin and is carried out by exposing its surface to a special solution containing citric, lactic, retinoic or kojic acids.
• The second is laser, helps remove melanin accumulations in the deep layers of the skin, as well as renew it, which explains the receipt of a stable, long-term result.

There are two types of laser whitening:

• Ablative – the implementation of which is similar to laser resurfacing, requires the removal of a layer of skin along with defects (pigment spots or scars) and stimulates increased growth of new, light skin. The rehabilitation period here is 7 days, and the procedure itself can be used in the case when, along with pigmentation, it is also necessary to carry out skin remodeling (removal of seals, stretch marks, scars).
• Non-ablative – during which a laser with an ultra-short beam length destroys only the subcutaneous pigment. This procedure does not require a rehabilitation period, and after its implementation, only a slight, short-term darkening of the treated area is noticeable.

Area of implementation

To get rid of hyperpigmentation, high-frequency laser beams are used to bleach the intimate area:

• in the bikini area;
• on the labia;
• on the inner thighs;
• on the areolas of the nipples;
• on the armpits;
• in the groin folds;
• around the anus;
• on the elbow bend and knee bend;
• on the pigmented strip from the navel to the intimate area.

Working with areas of increased sensitivity requires only highly qualified specialists, who use only medications certified in the Russian Federation and produced by reputable brands from the USA, Israel, South Korea, and Switzerland. These medications also aid in the following battles:

• pronounced signs of photoaging of the skin;
• chloasma, melasma;
• darkening of the skin due to vascular pathologies;
• the presence of postpartum hyperpigmentation;
• scars and cicatrices that appear after surgery.

Contraindications for use

In order to achieve an ideal appearance in sensitive areas of the body, laser skin whitening in the intimate area can be performed by either gender, provided certain conditions are met and the patient requests it.

It is not advised in the following situations:

• the occurrence of acute infectious diseases in the patient (flu, acute respiratory viral infections, accompanied by an increase in body temperature);
• exacerbation of chronic pathologies (including skin);
• the presence of the herpes virus and / or other genital infections;
• mechanical damage, irritation, the presence of wounds of the skin;
• diagnosed oncological diseases;
• if the client"s skin has recently been exposed to UV rays;
• detection of allergy to laser lightening;
• psychological illnesses;
• pathologies that disrupt blood clotting;
• confirmed diabetes mellitus.

The process is also subject to several time constraints:

• menstrual bleeding;
• a period of less than 2 weeks that have passed since the moment of depilation or deep skin peeling.

Can it be done after childbirth

It is not permitted to undergo intimate laser whitening right after childbirth or during the lactation period, even though it is advised to remove the pigmented strip that extends from the navel to the intimate area during pregnancy.

Only after nursing her child to the point of completion will a woman be able to remove melanin buildup and restore her skin to its natural state.

Intimate area laser whitening is a contemporary cosmetic procedure designed to lighten skin in sensitive areas, promoting self-confidence and comfort. Because of this treatment’s efficacy, short recovery period, and accessibility to before-and-after pictures that show actual outcomes, it is becoming more and more popular. The procedure is affordable for a wide range of budgets, with costs varying based on the clinic and area.

Carrying out the procedure

In a cosmetology clinic, laser whitening of the intimate area typically takes 20 to 45 minutes. It is sufficient to simply remove extra hair from the body area that will be exposed to the laser; there is no need to prepare specifically for it.

A dermatologist consultation is required prior to the procedure in order to rule out melanoma and confirm that the pigment spots are benign.

Method:

• The specialist examines the client"s skin, applies an anesthetic gel to it and adjusts the laser device depending on the condition and type of the client"s skin. All moles (nevi) present in the treatment area must be lubricated with a special protective cream, which will protect them from damage by the laser beam.
• Next, the laser waves are pulsed onto the client"s skin, heating and destroying melanin cells. The device"s nozzle does not touch the skin, but is kept at a small distance from it. The patient himself does not experience pain and may feel only a slight burning or tingling in the treated area.
• After completing the whitening procedure, the doctor applies a soothing gel to the skin with a regenerating, healing effect, preventing tissue irritation.
• There is no need to use anesthesia for the procedure. To reduce the severity of painful sensations, it is recommended to use a local anesthetic gel.

A maximum of one laser whitening session per month is allowed, and two to four sessions might be needed to get a noticeable, long-lasting result. Depending on the kind of skin and the intensity of the pigment spots, their precise number and length may change.

The process can be combined with photoepilation or laser resurfacing, but the latter two sessions need to be finished no less than two weeks prior to the whitening session.

Possible complications

Because the skin in the intimate area of the body is more sensitive, following a laser whitening procedure, clients may experience mild redness and swelling of the skin in the first few hours (or days). This is a normal variation of the skin that does not require special treatment and goes away on its own in two to three days.

Additionally, the following could happen:

• burning sensation;
• red spots.

Depending on the client’s skin type, the specialist performing the procedure will choose regenerating and soothing gels or infusions to apply to the skin after the procedure to lessen the severity of any negative effects.

If the skin’s redness and swelling do not go away on their own seven to ten days after the procedure, or if they are accompanied by any of the following, you should see a doctor:

• rash;
• high body temperature;
• enlarged lymph nodes.

If any of the following symptoms manifest on the skin, you should see a specialist right away:

• bruises and hematomas;
• symptoms of infection or an allergic reaction;
• spider veins;
• burns and wounds.

It is reasonable to assume that there may have been a technique infraction in this instance, that the specialist may have used the incorrect nozzle or installed a laser wave of the incorrect length, and that the proper treatment has not been scheduled.

Rehabilitation

Following laser bleaching of the intimate area, there is an outpatient, non-hospital rehabilitation period lasting five to seven days. The client can resume his regular life that same day.

It is advised that, throughout the duration of his rehabilitation:

• refrain from visiting the sauna, bathhouse;
• not swim in the pool or in open water;
• limit physical activity and not go to the gym;
• wash only in the shower, without immersing yourself in a hot bath, and during washing use only mild detergents, without adding alkaline components;
• do not use cosmetics containing alcohol, which dries the skin;
• refrain from sexual intercourse;
• do not wear synthetic clothing and underwear (including lace), choosing instead items made of natural, cotton fabrics that do not interfere with the air exchange of the skin.

The skin in the treated area develops a crust right away following the procedure, which disappears after the second day and leaves behind a faint pink patch. Peeling will start to show on the third or fourth day, signifying the start of the process of lighter skin and the elimination of hyperpigmentation.

The pigment spots will disappear completely on the seventh or tenth day, at which point new, lighter skin will emerge in their place. Additionally, the procedure’s rejuvenating effects will be readily apparent, aiding in the treated area’s skin relief and elasticity.

To minimize skin swelling and avoid a tight feeling, apply a moisturizing, softening, or regenerating cream containing panthenol to the skin that has been exposed to the laser within the first two to three days. As prescribed by the physician, you can also apply lotions containing herbal concoctions to hasten the healing process and encourage quicker crust peeling.

The entire skin restoration procedure takes about 28 to 30 days on average. During this time, the patient is not permitted to use harsh washcloths that could damage the skin during washing, sunbathe, or spend time in the solarium.

Efficiency

Laser bleaching’s efficacy can be observed almost instantly. The skin is gently exfoliated by a high-frequency device that doesn’t damage it, removing only keratinized particles and encouraging the skin’s own cells to produce collagen and elastin.

The process results in a sharp renewal and leveling of the skin, an increase in tone, and a change in the touch of the melanin accumulation being removed.

After the laser is used for the first time, little age spots start to lighten. Large or older hyperpigmented areas may need to schedule up to four sessions and then be treated with cosmetics that limit the release of melanin in excess.

• Possibility to whiten any, even old, persistent pigment spots. The result of the treatment can be seen after the first session.

• Increased sensitivity to touch of intimate areas subjected to laser whitening.

Reviews state that most patients experienced only a slight burning and tingling during the procedure, and that after the first session, the severity of the pigment spots reduced by 50–80%.
