Genital Area (Vagina) Whitening

Genital area whitening has become one of the most frequently preferred methods especially after 2010. The aim of the treatments, which are successfully applied in our country as well, is to eliminate the appearance of skin darkening occurring in the genital area. The procedure, also referred to as vaginal color lightening or vagina whitening, receives quite intense demand. The fact that it is performed with non-surgical methods is also one of the reasons for this interest.

We will answer which methods are used to perform genital area color lightening procedures, what should be considered after the procedures, and all the questions that are wondered. But before that, let’s address why these procedures are performed.

Why Does Vaginal Darkening Occur?
Darkening in the vulva area is a common problem, and this is because it can occur due to many different reasons. Let us remind that genital area whitening can be applied in every case. The answers to the question of why darkening occurs in the vaginal area are as follows:

Hormonal Changes

Sudden changes in the body’s hormonal balance can cause darkening in the skin in the vulva area. Puberty, pregnancy, or menopause are times when women’s hormonal balance changes. During these periods, darkening in the vaginal area occurs frequently. Especially an increase in the body’s estrogen hormone is seen as one of the reasons for skin darkening.

Use of Birth Control Pills

Long-term use of birth control pills to prevent pregnancy may also cause this problem. The reason is that these pills contain hormones. Since it causes changes in the body’s hormonal balance, it may also lead to darkening in the vaginal area.

Pregnancy and Childbirth

Some changes occur as the body adapts to the baby along with pregnancy. One of these changes is the hormonal balance, and accordingly, darkening may occur in the genital area.

Prolonged Sunbathing

The fact that the genital area is covered with a swimsuit or bikini while sunbathing creates the thought that sunlight does not reach it. However, this information is not correct, and sunlight also reaches the genital area. Prolonged sunbathing may cause skin darkening in this area.

Advancing Age

It is known that significant changes occur in the skin structure with advancing age. One of these changes is skin darkening in the vulva.

Incorrect Practices

Incorrect practices for genital cleaning or hair removal and the use of low-quality cosmetics are among the reasons.

How Is Genital Area Whitening Done?
Depending on which method is preferred for genital area whitening, the application method may change. Laser genital area whitening, which is completed in a short time and is a painless and comfortable option, is the most frequently preferred method. This procedure is not surgery; no incision is made on the skin, no stitches are placed, and it does not leave scars. It is a method performed by benefiting from laser beams.

With this method, subcutaneous pigments are targeted with laser beams and the pigments are broken down. By breaking down the melanin pigment that causes darkening in the skin, the appearance of darkening is also eliminated. This procedure also contributes to tightening the tissues in the area. Therefore, it is also effective in achieving a younger skin appearance.

Is the Vagina Whitening Procedure Permanent?
Of course, the result of genital area whitening remains effective for a while. However, if the factor that causes darkening in the skin is not eliminated, darkening may occur again after a while. In such cases, there is no drawback to applying the vagina whitening procedure again. These procedures are repeatable methods.
