Is there an effective laser treatment for intimate lightening? (Photo)

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Hello Andreti24:I would try topical creams that are safe in this area, such as those containing glycolic acid, tranxemic acid, retinol, or botanicals. My “Share with Dr Sheryl” IG chat last week addresses treatment of hyperpigmentation if you want more details. Products are available in my store, and you can always call to inquire. I hope this is helpful!Sheryl Clark MD FAAD

Hi Andreti24,It appears that the hyperpigmentation of your labia majora may be improved by pigmented laser, or monalisa touch laser, or even topical whitening creams. However, the excess and hyperpigmented skin on the labia majora will best be improved by labiaplasty.  The latter will also rejuvenate your vagina.
