What is vaginal/anal bleaching?

It is a cosmetic, laser treatment that takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. The vaginal/anal area is targeted by laser beams. The purpose of it is to help lighten the skin tone around the patient’s genital region. Many different factors play a part in darkening the genital area, such as:

Aging.
Heredity.
Friction.
Excessive pigment.
Hormonal changes.
Bacterial infection.
Post-childbirth.

A lot of women tend to feel embarrassed about having a darker skin tone around their private area. The skin in the vaginal and anal areas are extremely sensitive and require treatment by a skilled medical professional.
