Looking after your intimate areas is just as important as your outer appearance. Nowadays, many women have insecurities about the colour of their vagina and areas surrounding the vagina. These insecurities can now be diminished by intimate area lightening (also known as bleaching).
Intimate area lightening is a much more common practice than anyone would assume, and it has gradually gained more popularity over the years. While there are some `at home` methods that are still promoted, intimate bleaching should always be performed by an experienced medical professional to ensure results that are effective and safe, as well as to avoid complications and discomfort.
At WHAM Clinics, we offer elite intimate area lightening services that can be performed on the genital area, restoring our clients` confidence in the appearance of these sensitive areas.

Generally, the excessive accumulation of melanin leads to the appearance of dark spots on the skin. Factors contributing to the formation of pigment spots is the process of skin aging resulting from several factors, mainly the genetic factor, excessive sunlight, and hormones.
In women’s intimate areas, the effect of Oestrogen hormone in these tissues is one of the most important causes of darkening of the genital area tissues. The Oestrogen hormone can cause the genital area to darken by stimulating cells called melanocytes.
Pregnancy, the use of contraceptive drugs, and some hormonal drugs that are used for long periods, and some creams that are placed on this area, can cause darkening in the intimate area.
Other factors that can play a role in the darkening of the intimate area are clothing and sports. This is because repeated friction on these areas causes increased sweating on the skin, which leads to a darker colouration of the skin.
Genetic factors, pregnancy, and age progression can contribute to darkening of the skin in our intimate areas. Weight gain and continual friction may also result in hyperpigmentation. Darkened tissue can appear rougher or generally displeasing, but intimate area lightening can help women achieve the softer and fair-looking skin they desire.
Done inside the clinic, intimate area lightening is a quick procedure that can take between 20 and 30 minutes without any downtime afterwards.
