Discoloration, darkening and regional staining may occur on the inner outer lips, which are located in the vulva region, the external genital area, and covered with hair. Genital area whitening and bleaching treatments are applied to eliminate this problem.

Why do the external genitalia darken?

The external genital area darkens over time for different reasons. Its natural color may deteriorate over time. This situation causes aesthetic discomfort in women. The following factors play a role in darkening of the external genital area:

• Estrogen hormone
• Sunlight exposure
• Having naturally dark skin
• Pregnancy and hormonal changes during pregnancy
• Use of birth control pills (OCS)
• Polycystic ovary syndrome
• Some hormone disorders
• Waxing or laser genital hair removal

Why is laser whitening done?

Darkening in the genital area affects women psychologically in a negative way. It causes lack of self-confidence during sexual intercourse and embarrassment of the genital area. The ideal appearance is pinkish and full.

This procedure, which is applied with a laser, ensures that the old skin is peeled off and a young skin is obtained from underneath.

Vaginal lightening with laser therapy targets the buttocks, perianal area, perineum, inner taut and outer vaginal areas to lighten skin tone. The treatment does not require general anesthesia. Treatments usually take about 30 minutes. Patients should not apply any cream, shave the area or enter the solarium 3 days before the treatment.

How is laser whitening done?

Genital area whitening with laser is completed in 20-30 minutes. The procedure is completed in a short time under local anesthesia or sedation anesthesia. After the laser whitening procedure, thanks to the thermal effect of the laser, the upper skin layer called epidermis, that is, the old skin is peeled off and new, young skin grows from underneath. In this way, the dark color will disappear and a vibrant, bright and pinkish skin will appear.

In general, a single 2-3 session application is sufficient for whitening. When necessary, more than one session may be required. The results of laser whitening start to show up definitively after 1 month.

It is very important not only for a healthy and satisfying sexual relationship, but also for the woman to feel healthy, peaceful and beautiful.

What are Genital Aesthetic Surgeries?

Genital aesthetic operations include many surgical and non-surgical procedures. Genital plastic surgeries:

• Inner lip aesthetics (Labiaplasty),
• External lip aesthetics (Majoraplasty),
• Clitoris aesthetics (Clitorohudoplasty),
• Vaginal tightening (Vaginoplasty),
• Correction of the perineum (Perineoplasty),
• Outer lip augmentation (labia majora augmentation) is among the procedures performed.

Labioplasty

The lips called labium form the external genital structure. Over time or congenitally, sagging, elongation and asymmetry can be seen in these lips. This can cause problems especially when wearing swimsuits or tights.

Long or drooping lips can cause pain during sexual intercourse. It can lead to a risky situation in terms of infection. The appearance of elongated or sagging lips can be improved with simple procedures. After labiaplasty, the person returns to daily life in a short time. However, sexual intercourse should not be established during the average 5-week healing process.

Vaginoplasty

Vaginoplasty, commonly known as vaginal aesthetics, can be performed surgically or with laser. Vaginas begin to lose their narrowness with advancing age, structurally or due to vaginal births.

Such deformities prevent the pleasure received in sexual intercourse. Thanks to the aesthetic intervention applied, excess loosened tissue is removed, narrowing and rejuvenation of the surrounding tissues is supported.

Repairing Postpartum Scars

An episiotomy procedure can be applied during normal childbirth. If these incisions are not applied correctly, if the stitches are faulty or if there are problems in the healing process, the woman may later feel both aesthetically and physically uncomfortable because of these scars.

Scar tissues can be repaired in a simple way with local anesthesia. Then, the tissues are compared in a proper alignment and re-sutured to ensure a correct suture and restart the healing process. During this process, internal tissue loosening or sagging is also repaired.

After vaginal aesthetics, the patient returns to her daily life in a short time, but she should be on sexual abstinence for 6 weeks during the recovery period.

Hymenoplasty and mons pubis (upper parts of the vagina – lips area) augmentation procedures are also applied in genital aesthetic operations.
