Here is how VLCC treats dark underarms with Science:

 

Chemical peels

Our Chemical peels can effectively exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and stimulating the growth of new, brighter skin.

 

Laser therapy

Our Laser treatments target the melanin in the skin and break down the pigment, resulting in a lighter appearance. Laser therapy is particularly useful for individuals with more stubborn or deeply rooted dark spots.

 

Topical creams

Our dermatologists often prescribe creams containing ingredients like kojic acid, niacinamide, or hydroquinone to help lighten dark areas over time.

 

Here are a few indicators that one needs underarm skin brightening:

 

 

Dark patches

Noticeable darkened areas in the underarm region that differ from the surrounding skin tone.

 

Thickened skin

The skin under your arms may feel thicker or have a velvety texture, particularly in cases of acanthosis nigricans.

 

Rashes or irritation

Redness, itching, or a rash in the underarm area that may precede or accompany darkening.

 

Uneven skin tone

Visible differences in skin colour, with some patches being significantly darker than others.

 

Tips to consider:

 

Gentle hair removal

Switching from shaving to less abrasive methods like waxing or laser hair removal can reduce the chances of developing irritation and hyperpigmentation.

 

Wear breathable clothing

Tight clothing can cause friction and irritation, leading to darkening of the skin. Opt for loose, breathable fabrics like cotton, especially during hot and humid weather.

 

Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet

Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables can improve your skin's overall health. Staying hydrated helps flush out toxins and can contribute to a more even skin tone.

 

Exfoliate regularly

Gently exfoliating your underarms once a week can help remove dead skin cells and prevent the buildup of oils and dirt that contribute to darkening.

 

Natural remedies to consider:

 

Lemon juice: Lemon juice acts as a natural exfoliant and bleaching agent, helping to lighten dark underarms.

Cucumber: Rubbing cucumber slices on your underarms can help reduce darkness.

Aloe vera gel: Aloe vera can aid in healing and brightening the skin over time.
