Some people, have darker underarms or bikini area, and that can often lead to self-consciousness and a lack of confidence. The visible discolouration in these intimate areas can make a person feel insecure about their appearance, particularly when wearing revealing clothing or participating in activities that require exposure.
The causes of such pigmentation can vary, ranging from hormonal imbalances and genetic factors to certain skin conditions or excessive friction. Hormonal changes during pregnancy or puberty, as well as conditions like acanthosis nigricans or hyperpigmentation, can contribute to the darkening of these areas.
Additionally, factors like shaving, excessive sweating, and the use of certain cosmetics or deodorants can also play a role. The psychological impact of these darkened areas should not be underestimated, as they can significantly affect a persons self-esteem and body image.
What Is The INSTA-WHITE Treatment?
Pink Parlour’s newly launched INSTA-WHITE treatment is a relaxing 30 minute long five step treatment that promises to effectively lighten discoloured and overly pigmented skin of the armpits, groin and Brazilian area.
The first step in the treatment is the Supreme whitening duo scrub infused with collagen and gluta gel containing Vitamin C, E, and Lemon fibre together with Niacinamide and arbutin velvet salt to exfoliate dead skin cells.
The second step is the Whitening Light therapy using photothermolysis or specific wavelengths of light to heat up the targeted areas in order to break up melanin within the skin, leading to the gradual lightening of the darkened or pigmented area. I noticed an immediate improvement after this step.
This treatment while safe for all skin types is not recommended for those with severe photo-sensitivity.
The Snow White Mask, which is the third step is a gentle powdery mask that works to gradually lighten pigmented skin without the need to rub or scrub.
The Thera-Clear Infusion which contains green tea, salicylic acid and zinc PCA is used in step four, to moisturise the skin, reduce oil production and dark spots. Used together with a High frequency device, it stimulates cell renewal and boosts the absorption of the skin care products by gently warming the tissue.
The final step is the application of the Rose water Brightening Solution which is enriched with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and galactomyces to brighten, hydrate, and even out the skin tone.
Is It Worth The Hype?
I honestly enjoyed the treatment. It takes just 30 minutes, is completely painless and requires zero effort, and better yet, I actually saw an immediate improvement in my bikini area, after just one session.
While I can’t be 100% sure that it will lighten my bikini area completely as I only had one session, I do think that if I were to continue with the treatments, it would lighten and improve its appearance after around three to five sessions, so yes, I do think it’s worth the hype, especially if you are self conscious or unhappy with your darker underarms or bikini area.
Pink Parlour has several branches across the island, so if you would like to try the treatment out, do give them a call and schedule an appointment.
