Many people feel uncomfortable if they have darker pigments on certain parts of the body. In some cases, this is due to hormones, a pregnancy, friction or heat but it can also be congenital. One should be aware that it is natural and that most people are darker in the intimate areas. If you now, after all, want to try to light up certain areas, there is little to think about.
There are two different options – bleaching or chemical peeling.
Chemical peel is a superficial and gentler type of pigment inhibitor.
Chemical bleaching is stronger and affects pigmentation in depth and is what is actually being talked about when we say INTIMATE BLEACHING and you need to do a stress test before you can proceed with this treatment.
WE PERFORM GENUINE CHEMICAL BLEACHING
To begin with, bleaching is not beneficial for the skin and is not recommended by dermatologists.
It is also associated with certain risks. You can get, for example, irritated skin or an allergic reaction. Skin whitening works by reducing the presence of melanin in the skin. You are solely responsible for the possible consequences of bleaching, both positive and negative.
With that said, intimate bleaching is extremely popular in the world. In some countries it is estimated that between 60-80% of the adult population bleaches. It has existed in Sweden for many years, but we are still quite a few tiles that have the knowledge and perform this treatment.
What areas can you try bleaching?
The inside of the thighs, the entire intimate area both in front and around the anus, under the arms, nipples and knees are common areas.
Does it really work?
It works for most people, but for some it doesn’t work and in some you don’t really get the results you want even if it gives a weak effect. Whether it works for you is impossible to answer, you simply have to try. Through Intimblekning, most people can restore hyperpigmented areas to their original shade or at least as close as possible.
Do you have to pay if it doesn’t work?
Yes, unfortunately, we still have overhead costs for both products and personnel.
How many treatments do you need?
We recommend at least 3 treatments at the salon with an interval of 3-10 days. If the desired result has not been achieved, you can do up to a maximum of 10 treatments within a course. It takes a few weeks before the result is visible, but once it does, it then goes quickly. Most people see results within 4-6 weeks, but it can take a few months to achieve a final result.
Who can have intimate bleaching?
Bleaching works best for, and is intended for, pigment changes. Those caused by hormones, friction, heat or vitamin deficiency are usually suitable for treatment. You must be at least 18 years old, identification is always required regardless of age. You must be generally healthy. The skin in the area must be intact and without irritation. Those with skin type 6, the darkest skin type, cannot bleach. It will not have any effect. Those with congenital very dark pigments will also have difficulty getting an effect from bleaching. For those who choose to have bleaching, the following also applies: You must absolutely not be pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant soon. Men must also not plan to become a parent during the treatment period and for 3 months afterwards. The treatment does not affect fertility but may possibly affect a fetus.
How does it work?
The skin is treated with a chemical bleaching solution that is left to act on the area for a while. The product is then wiped off and the area is lubricated with an aftercare cream for continued bleaching effects. After that, you should use Bright Maintainer Forte daily during the treatment course, and we recommend our exfoliating intimate wash and scrub to speed up the process.
Does it hurt?
No, it doesn’t hurt. It may tingle and feel a little warm. If it starts to sting, get really hot, or if you seem to have a reaction, we will stop the treatment immediately and neutralize the skin.
Isn’t it embarrassing to lie there?
We have long been specialists in intimate treatments for both women and men. This is something we work with daily. With us, you can feel safe and calm even in this situation.
Before your treatment
At your first visit, we will do a consultation where we will go over what intimate bleaching involves and you will be asked to fill out a health declaration. We will then do a stress test to see if you are suitable for further treatment. We will therefore perform an initial bleaching of the area at this visit. Come freshly showered and do not use any creams etc. on the area. You should have waxed or shaved the entire area at least the day before the treatment. When bleaching, you should not sunbathe at all during the treatment period. You should also avoid alcohol.
