CO₂ Laser Vaginal Lightening:

 

As part of a vaginal rejuvenation procedure, some women prefer to lighten and brighten the skin in the bikini area, allowing it to more cohesively integrate with the surrounding skin tissue. Skin in the vaginal area naturally acquires a darker tone due to routine day-to-day activities such as walking, exercise, and sexual intercourse.

Many patients enjoy the natural look just fine, while some consider that the skin tone being more even and uniform adds to one’s beauty and intimate appeal. For these patients, we offer a process of vaginal lightening to help them reach their ideals.

​

What causes the vaginal area to darken?

Skin in the vaginal area darkens over time due to routine activities including wearing tight clothing, walking, jogging, exercising, and having sexual intercourse. There is nothing unnatural or alarming about the skin tissue in this intimate area darkening over time and the vaginal lightening procedure is a self-chosen routine that can help reduce the darker tones in order to create a lighter complexion that better integrates with the surrounding skin. 

Pregnancy, hyperhidrosis, and hormonal fluctuations can also cause the area to darken.

​

What does vaginal lightening do?

Vaginal lightening modifies the appearance of the external female genitalia. Despite its name, it doesn’t affect or address the internal vaginal canal but treats the intimate bikini area that includes the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, and perineum. The procedure simply and safely lightens the external skin tissue in this area in order to provide the patient with a more even skin tone that is free of unwanted hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and skin tone anomalies.

The treatment leaves these intimate areas with a lighter, brighter, and more even color tone that many patients find more attractive and confidence-building.

​

Is vaginal lightening safe?

The skin in the vaginal area is more sensitive than skin elsewhere on your body and there are certainly at-home and other treatments that are neither safe nor advised. However, Elite Gynecology and other med spas have developed vaginal lightening treatments that account for the delicate nature of the tissue in the treatment area. Done properly, vaginal lightening can be very safe but it’s certainly advised that you see an experienced professional for the treatment. Our female staff have extensive training and experience with vaginal lightening and routinely produce great results with the treatment.
