Last year, an article from The Strait Times warned people about the use of genital lightening products, particularly those that are brought online. Popular among women between 24 and 44, the article says there are creams, masks, and serums that claim to lighten hyperpigmentation or discoloration in the nipples and intimate areas. 

The main concern about these products is the risk of inflammation and irritation in delicate areas. The article mentioned that these regions have a rich nerve supply and are more prone to the effects of friction and humidity, as well as any other product that is used or applied repeatedly. 

So, the question is, how do you go about intimate area lightening? Is there a right way to tackle pigmentation or darkening of intimate areas? Continue reading as we shed light into intimate area lightening and what our aesthetic clinic in Singapore offers if you decide to do so. 

What causes darker skin in intimate areas?

One important thing to keep in mind is that it is perfectly normal to have darker intimate areas, as well as underarms, knees, and elbows. Also, there is nobody in the world that has 100% completely even skin tone on their entire body. The skin on our body ages and changes over time, and the sensitive area of the vulva is no exception. 

A number of factors can cause these changes, including: 

  • Hormonal changes during pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause
  • Genetics and aging
  • Frequent waxing or shaving
  • Friction due to tight clothing and underwear
  • Sweating a lot
  • Moisture and lack of ventilation

Are there benefits to intimate lightening?

Healthline says you shouldn’t get the area bleached, noting that there are no health benefits to intimate lightening. It may, however, boost happiness or increase a person’s confidence, especially if you’re self-conscious about the darkened intimate areas. It can help you feel more attractive and confident about your body.  

Other benefits may include:

  • Rejuvenates the intimate area and makes you feel invigorated
  • No need to avoid certain bikinis or lingerie (due to darker groin or bikini line)
  • Helps you feel more secure in your own skin
  • Helps enhance intimacy or confidence during sexual intercourse

What is the safe way to lighten your intimate areas?

If you’re concerned about pigmentation in your intimate area, it is best to get a medical consultation. The article from The Strait Times also recommends considering medical-grade treatments or having them performed at a clinic by a professional who has training and experience in administering such procedures. 

Avoid buying lightening products online even if they have good reviews or are recommended by others. The same is also true for those that claim to have “natural ingredients”. Regular use of unregulated products can only increase your likelihood of experiencing side effects, such as irritation, itchiness, burning, and further darkening. 

What do we have at Cutis for intimate lightening?

Our aesthetic clinic in Singapore has Dermamelan Intimate, a medical depigmenting treatment specifically tailored for the intimate areas. This solution is developed in collaboration with gynecologists and contains active compounds that target the conditions responsible for intimate area darkening/discoloration.

What makes Dermamelan Intimate unique – This non-invasive solution features a corrective and regulatory dual action. It lightens the treated area and tackles the root of the issues. It provides short- and long-term correction of hyperpigmentation that can prevent the reappearance of dark spots. It also accelerates skin peeling and renewal and is gentle on delicate areas.

Key benefits of Dermamelan intimate – It lightens intimate area pigmentation, which then improves your confidence. Benefits include: 

  • Unified skin tone
  • Short- and long-term correction of pigmentation
  • Improves skin elasticity and water retention
  • Helps prevent the reappearance of pigmentation/dark spots
  • Improves the quality, turgidity, and appearance of the intimate areas

How is Dermamelan intimate performedDermamelan intimate is applied to the skin and combines an in-clinic setting with an at-home protocol. The latter is essential to regulating melanin production and achieving your desired results. 

What results can you expect – You may see improvements as early as one week but significant results appear in four weeks, as the discoloration continues to fade over time. A single session can make the area look even, healthy, and luminous.
