Penis Whitening, What??!

A less spoken about, yet increasingly popular procedure, is penis and genital bleaching for men (obviously!) . With the rise in hair removal procedures, our intimate areas are left more exposed. Genital whitening for men fades the skin which can often become discoloured over time as a result of ageing and high levels of melanin in the skin. Chronic moisture can also cause skin irritation and result in hyperpigmentation of the inner thighs , posterior thighs and knees, underarms, buttocks and back.

Genital lightening is becoming important for men who want to achieve that lighter, more youthful look on their penis, their scrotum and all over their bodies. Do you have scarring or darker areas around your penis shaft from circumcision or something else? Is your scrotum, anus and penis skin darker than you prefer? Would the head of your penis look better if it was more pink in color? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you will likely benefit from having a penis whitening treatment which also covers the growing, anus area and all the dark skin around the genitals and inner thighs.

The main procedure we focus on in this section is the use of a painless and super safe Intense Pulse Lightning (IPL) technology. The IPL treatments is quick and painless, followed by a lightening cream on a serum form to penetrate deeper into the dermis.  It also works to fade the pigment of underarms, knees, elbows, nipples, inner thighs, and age spots on hands and face.

The genital area of our bodies has the highest concentration of melanocytes (pigment cells) so it is normal for this area of the body to be darker than other areas.  Any inflammation can cause more pigment to develop in an area (think of a pimple or scratch leaving a dark area when it resolves).  Typically, friction is the cause of chronic inflammation between the thighs.

But, how to whiten genital area? Together with effective IPL treatments on the genital area, a whitening concentrated serum will be applied. It contains super effective ingredients such as Bearberry Leaf Extract, Aloe Vera Leaf Juice Powder, Apple Fruit Extract, Green Tea Extract, Kiwi Fruit Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Rumex Officinalis. All these ingredients are potent tyrosinase inhibitors. Bearberry (arctostaphylos uva ursi) is quite effective on brightening the skin. The leaf extract of this plant contains hydroquinone derivatives, arbutin and methyl arbutin with skin whitening attributes [1.]

Green Tea Extract a super anti ageing ingredient also has whitening properties. Recently it has been postulated that ingredients with strong free-radical scavenging antioxidant activity can also lower the rate of melanogenesis, which could have a skin lightening effect. Recent studies have shown that Licorice Root is promising skin whitening activity. [2]

What are the reasons of skin getting darker? Human skin color is differentiated by the nature and quantity of natural pigment or melanin, present in the epidermal layers of skin. The formation of melanin from the amino acid tyrosine involves several biogenetic steps mediated initially by the enzyme tyrosinase. Tyrosine is first oxidized by tyrosinase to dihydroxyphenylalanine (1-dopa), then to dopaquinone. Dopaquinone is then converted into eumelanin (black, white, and Asian skin types: skin color dependent on the quantity of eumelanin in skin), or phaeomelanin (red-haired skin types). This conversion proceeds through the intermediate formation of leucodopachrome and dopachrome (eumelanin) or cysteinyldopa (phaeomelanin).

Nowadays, men regardless of how many times men are told that it doesn’t matter, it seems that many are still worried about the size and now, colour of their penis. Bigger and brighter is what men feel is better for their confidence.
