Our providers can lighten the skin of the vulva, inner thighs, perioral area, penis, and even the underarms, back of the neck, elbows, and knees. If there is another area you are interested in having lightened, our providers will be happy to discuss treatment options at your cosmetic consultation.

Many patients enjoy increased self-confidence in these intimate areas after treatment. This can translate to increased feelings of attractiveness and empowerment.

The laser removes the thin, uppermost layer of skin in order to reveal lighter skin and stimulate new, less pigmented skin formation.

Patients can expect to see results after each treatment, though it may take time for the full results of the treatment to be realized. Your provider will suggest how many treatments they believe it will take for final results during the cosmetic consultation. Some patients may be satisfied after 1-2 laser sessions, but depending on the area, the contributing factors, and results desired, additional treatments may be needed.

Potential side effects with the laser treatments are minimal and include post inflammatory pigmentary changes (discoloration of the skin) which usually resolves over time, temporary redness, altered sensation (also resolves over time), and rarely scarring. Some patients experience redness or mild swelling in the treated area immediately following treatment; this usually goes away in a few hours/days.
