No, the peel we use does not actually contain bleach and therefore does not interact with the hair it touches. Early on, genital and/or anal bleaching solutions had various harsh ingredients, like peroxide, which would lighten hair and cause irritation. Our formulas are gentle, yet effective.

Yes, it’s possible. The skin on the penis doesn’t lift as easily as the skin around the anus and scrotum, but it does work. It’s important to have realistic expectations knowing this area isn’t going to lift 4-5 shades, but we’ve seen it lift 1-2 shades nicely and patients have been very satisfied.

Genital and/or anal bleaching is mostly for aesthetic purposes. However, if you’re doing laser hair removal in the anal or geneital area where you also have darker pigmentation, we may recommend genital and/or anal bleaching to lighten the skin so the laser can be set at a higher setting to deliver optimal results.

This varies. Patients who lift several shades (usually more than 3 shades) rarely return to their baseline darkness, but will gradually darken over the course of time. In patients where they only lifted 1-2 shades they may see themselves returning to baseline in one to two years.

Our medical grade peel has been described as comfortable in comparison to other peels patients have experienced. We haven’t experienced any patients reporting a burning sensation with this peel, and we’ve also personally tested these peels to confirm the experience. In terms of “hurting” the anus or genitals, no, we only use products that are safe and effective. Occasionally some patients may report very mild itching or dryness 1-3 days post peel. But it can be easily relieved by applying moisturizer to the area. The peel makes the skin temporarily more sensitive (usually 5-7 days).

We recommend patients wait 5-7 days before engaging in sexual play (whether with a partner or a toy). This is because the skin will be more sensitive and excessive friction can be irritating. But we definitely want you to show off your new goodies once you’re healed!

Our genital and/or anal bleaching service is $800 per area and includes 2 treatments.

Thus far all of our patients have been satisfied with the 2 treatments included in the $800 package. If a patient wants to possibly go lighter, we can assess to determine the next best steps.

The two sessions are 2-3 weeks apart.

While our peel has consistently provided great results, we do find that a great portion of the result varies on the patient. Being consistent with the pre and post-treatment regimen is crucial to receiving optimal results. Some patients with extensive hyperpigmentation may see substantial results,while others with minimal hyperpigmentation may only see 1-2 shades lifted. If you schedule a  free consultation we can assess your area(s) of concern to give you some insight of what results you can expect.

There are various products on the market that are sold directly to consumers. We have done a full market review to try the most popular products out there and found no success with them. The bleaching protocol we use in our office includes a prescribed pre and post-treatment cream and a medical grade peel for optimal results.

Yes! Continuing your post-treatment as prescribed is important to maintain results. We also highly recommend laser hair removal, as the friction from shaving, waxing, etc… can darken skin.

Yes! We see many female patients (and trans men) for vaginal bleaching. The peel can be applied anywhere externally in the vaginal region to brighten up the skin and give you a more even toned look. Our patients have loved combining this with anal bleaching for a complete refresh to their intimate parts. The process is similar across the board in terms of recovery, it’s fairly easy and the most only side effect patients mention is dryness with some mild itching. This is easily relieved with over the counter cortisone cream and moisturizing.
