Body Lightening Treatment

Common causes include friction (from tight clothing or thigh rubbing), shaving or waxing irritation, hormonal changes, deodorant reactions, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from ingrown hairs, and sun exposure. Body lightening peels target the existing pigment while we address the underlying cause.

We use professional-grade blends tailored to the area — typically combinations of glycolic, lactic, mandelic, kojic, phytic, and tranexamic acid at concentrations appropriate for body skin. The body stratum corneum is thicker than facial skin, so we can use stronger concentrations safely.

Most clients see visible improvement after 2–3 sessions. A full course of 4–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart delivers optimal, lasting brightening. Maintenance every 2–3 months preserves the result.

Yes — but technique is critical. We prime the skin with tyrosinase inhibitors (e.g. hydroquinone, kojic acid, arbutin) for 2–4 weeks before starting, and use conservative peel concentrations to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. A test patch is always performed first.

Possibly, if the underlying cause continues. Friction, shaving irritation, and sun exposure all reignite pigmentation. Maintenance sessions, consistent SPF, and switching to laser hair removal (to eliminate ingrown-hair-related pigmentation) give the longest-lasting result.

Yes — in fact, this is the combination we recommend for stubborn underarm or bikini pigmentation. Laser hair removal prevents new friction-related pigmentation while the peel course clears existing dark patches. Sessions are spaced 2 weeks apart.
