Hyperpigmentation on my vulva and labia, can I use a laser bleaching procedure to remove it?

June 14, 2017
Asked By:lo1992 in Manhattan, NY

My vulva and labia used to be very dark, so I bleached it with some cream that later on turned out to be benoquin, and on of the side effects of benoquin is that the color may come back. And it surely did. Now, not only the pigment returned in patches, but it's also much darker than it used to be. I've read about laser bleaching procedure with laser called More-Xel Aphrodite, but I can't find it anywhere in NYC. I do not want labiaplasty, I want the pigment removed. Please help!! Thank you
