Why Does the Genital Area Darken?
Genital darkening (hyperpigmentation) is a common complaint among many women today. Skin darkening around the anal and genital areas in both women and men can occur due to a variety of reasons. Hormonal problems, aging, vaginal infections, hair removal methods, genetic factors, and postpartum scarring can all contribute to darkening of the skin in the genital area. These factors can cause excessive hyperpigmentation, leading to a darker skin tone.
What is Laser Genital Area Whitening? How is it Performed?
Although various solutions have been proposed for this darkening in the genital area, many methods are not preferred because they do not provide permanent and satisfactory results. In particular, the indiscriminate application of chemical products to this area for whitening can lead to skin problems and various complications. Therefore, laser treatment is preferred as the healthiest and most permanent method.
In recent years, CO2 laser vulvar/anal bleaching technology has been used to lighten dark skin in the genital and anal areas. The laser treatment suppresses melanin in the genital region, aiming to remove the dark layer of skin in the epidermis.
The duration of laser genital whitening treatments can vary depending on the desired level of whiteness, existing skin color, and the body's reaction to the laser. A change in skin tone is usually noticeable after the first treatment. The procedure is painless and is performed without general anesthesia. A local anesthetic cream is applied to the area before the procedure to prevent any potential pain.
Laser genital whitening is not recommended for individuals with lupus, psoriasis, herpes, or genital warts, as well as those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Therefore, I recommend informing your doctor about any of these conditions before the procedure.
