What are vaginal bleaching and anal bleaching?, Inner thigh lightening treatment

Skin lightening treatments are performed with brightening ingredients, chemical peels, or lasers; none of which include bleach or chlorine that is harmful to the skin. This means, there’s no such thing as “skin bleaching”. The most effective treatments for skin lightening are a series of chemical peels or lasers with lightening products to effectively and safely treat hyperpigmentation. When spa’s list bleaching on the menu, they’re most commonly using chemical peels.

Who is it for?

Clients that frequently exercise, experience friction or chaffing on their intimate area, or have recently given birth often have skin that has darkened over time. Vaginal lightening will effectively lift this pigmentation and make the skin appear lighter and brighter. Clients that have scars that come from shaving, ingrown hairs, or acne also can have darkening that can effectively be treated by a V-lightening.  

How does it work and is it effective on all skin colors?

The VSPOT technician specializes in lightening. At first, a complimentary consultation is done to evaluate the area. The technician utilizes her years of expertise and the Fitzpatrick skin analysis to determine the strength of the peel to be used for your skin type.

At VSPOT, we use a natural almond-derived medical-grade peel. The peel breaks down pigmentation and causes your skin to resurface. This process removes layers of dead skin with melanated cells. After the peel, you are sent home with a month’s supply of customized skin “Brightening Pads” that you’ll apply to the areas being lightened twice, every day. The pads are made with brightening ingredients that lighten and stop your skin from producing new pigment.

Does Anal lightning and Vaginal lightning hurt?

The peel is painless and very gentle. As long as your skin doesn’t have any cuts or open lesions it should be a very comfortable experience.

How much time is the treatment for Vaginal Lightening and Anal Lightening?

The Treatment:

The peel takes ten to seven minutes to process on the skin. It’s neutralized and removed with zero discomforts. 

The Process:

The treatment is repeated three to nine times every one to two weeks depending on your desired results.

Factors:

For clients with new pigmentation, it can easily be removed in three sessions. Clients with pigmentation much darker than their base skin tone or pigmentation that has been on the skin for years need six to nine sessions on average. 

Why do some clients have more than 3 sessions?

The pigment is scattered on multiple layers of the epidermis. Continuing the process lets the pigment resurface as many times as needed to remove deeper layers of pigment.

Is it permanent?

Once you’ve finished the process, keeping your skin hydrated and getting one treatment every four to six months is effective at preventing new pigmentation. Getting a vajacial regularly is a great way to maintain your results and prevent significant darkening from forming again. New pigmentation is lighter and very easy to remove so your results aren’t difficult to maintain. 

Can I lighten it if I have ingrown hairs on my Bikini Line?

Because our lightning treatment exfoliates and brightens, it is very effective at removing ingrown. Lightening treatments paired with vajacials (facial for the vulva) allow us to do extractions during your lightening process, correcting both concerns in one treatment. 

Why do we pigment?

To know how skin lightening works, it’s good to know what factors cause pigmentation and skin darkening. The kind of pigmentation that is being treated in vaginal and anal lightening are two: hyperkeratosis and hyperpigmentation. 

Hyperkeratosis can be genetic but it is also caused by frictional stress on the skin. Areas that rub constantly or receive friction, like elbows and knees, stack protective layers of skin to prevent your skin from chaffing which makes the areas look darker. This occurs on the labia, lower bikini line, anal area, and inner thighs due to frictional stress from tight clothing, underwear, sanitary pads, and exercise.

Hyperpigmentation is an inflammatory response that is common from sun exposure, irritation,  and damage to the skin. On the vulva, it’s mainly caused by hair removal methods, friction, and folliculitis; commonly known as ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs cause inflammation that creates dark spots, especially after improper extractions. 

The most damaging and pigmenting hair removal method is depilatory creams like Nair and Veet. Although they’re labeled for the vaginal area, it removes hair by breaking down keratin which is also the main protein in our skin. Shaving and waxing are better alternatives. 

An unknown fact is Spas using very adhesive wax and/or higher wax temperatures to ensure perfect results leave skin free of hair but over-exfoliated, irritated, and darker. 

Cuts and scrapes leave marks on our skin. Shaving closely to the skin more than once a week creates tiny cuts and irritation on the vulva which gradually pigments. 

Scrubs are a mechanical exfoliation method with coarse or abrasive ingredients to remove dry skin. Scrubs can callus but always scrape the uppermost layers of the skin making it especially unsafe for clients with olive to darker toned skin who are at a higher risk for hyperpigmentation.

When can I start? 

Consultations are complimentary at VSpot and you can begin treatments the same day as long as you do not have ongoing laser sessions and have not shaved within 24 hours. After speaking with a specialist, she will project how many sessions you’ll need to reach your desired results and the best time to start.

Women’s Health and vaginal rejuvenation

The world of womens health and vaginal laser treatments has begun to grow and gain much media coverage.  As more women are taking an interest in educating themselves regarding their options for feminine health and appearance, medical device companies are taking note. From advertising the tightening of the vaginal canal to vaginal cellular rejuvenation, there are now more technological advancements than ever before to help women reclaim their confidence and overall vaginal health.  So, what are the most well-known vaginal lasers in the field of vaginal health?  There are 3 major vaginal laser devices: Co2 Lasers  MonaLisa Touch®, and Femilift™, and Radio Frequency Vaginal device such as Femme 360 and tThermiVa®.   All  of the vaginal health treatments r are non-invasive, non-surgical, require no anesthesia and no downtime.

The FemiLift™ laser   focuses on treating the symptoms of Vulvo-Vaginal Atrophy (VVA)  and vaginal laxity (overstretched vaginal tissues and muscles) that is often associated with childbirth, weight loss and the general aging process.The common request from clients is I feel loose.   FemiLift  uses a CO2 laser to promote the restoration of the vaginal skin in a safe, painless technique.  By delivering pulses of energy to the deep and superficial tissue, This procedure helps to stimulate collagen regrowth and restore blood flow to the tissues, thus eliminating the unpleasant symptoms of VVA. The laser  technology  delivers a deep thermal effect to the vaginal tissues, which results in tightening and restoration of collagen levels.  In addition Another Co2 laser is the the MonaLisa Touch®, 
Lastly, the Femm360 treatment uses radiofrequency energy to address skin and muscle laxity mostly and focuses on vaginal tightening.  The energy delivered to the tissues is a temperature-controlled radio frequency that delivers heat to the tissues and results in tightening of the vaginal muscles and skin. Thermiva is also a Radio Frequency vaginal rejuvenation treatment. 
When choosing a treatment option go to a gynecologist that offers both technologies in order to create a custom treatment plan that is right for you

Sex after Menopause: 4 Things You Can Now Live Without

For a long time society has considered these woes as just another part of being a woman. VSPOT Experts want you to know that you do not have to live with these symptoms for one more day.

Painful Sex

Sex is not supposed to hurt… EVER. Not the first time and not the last. Science and motivated women have come together to empower you and make un-doing this problem the easiest decision you’ll ever have to make. The most common cause of painful sex after age 50 is changes in your hormones. VSPOT Expert Tara Ford PA-C wants you to know,

 “At age 30, hormone levels start to decline…but painful sex at any age is not normal!” 

 When estrogen and/or testosterone levels are low it can cause the tissue to become dry, thin and painful causing vaginal atrophy. The painless and non-surgical Femilift treatment that VSPOT offers has the ability to age reverse the tissue in the vaginal canal for a lubricated and more enjoyable sex life.

Weak Orgasms

Faking orgasms is a thing of the past. Our generation of women have fought for orgasm equality and science has finally caught up to the times. Closing the orgasm gap has never been so attainable. Treatments like the O-Shot are only the beginning. VSPOT’s medical grade Feminine Serum is clinically proven to increase the blood flow to the clitoris by 80{838292c0f8e71476c5d30e609c6d95f0a2a77beddb6f4ec3b43e8e49f09b6988}. This serum has officially changed the Orgasm game forever. When paired with the O-shot it can jumpstart the effects leaving you prepped and primed for the most mind-blowing release. 

Low Libido

The world has evolved and people know that women want to have sex just as much as any man. If we don’t, that’s usually a signifier that something in our bodies is out of whack and a trip to VSPOT is overdue. The VSPOT Luxe Annual GYN Wellness Check-Up includes a complete hormone panel so that we can get the bottom of it.

“As women age, testosterone levels decrease naturally and can lower a woman’s desire for sex.”-VSPOT Expert Tara Ford, PA-C

If one of our certified medical providers finds that this is the cause of your low libido we have the ability to treat that here at VSPOT. Hormone Replacement Therapy has been shown to work to treat menopausal symptoms including low libido.

We want to make sure that you are in full control of when you do and don’t want to have sex.

Vaginal Dryness 

Painful Sex is usually associated with vaginal dryness, but if your noticing irritation and lack of discharge in your vagina something can be done. Just because you’re not having sex doesn’t mean that you have to live with dryness. A quick consultation with a VSPOT Expert can help determine the cause of your chronic vaginal dryness. The best part is you won’t need a referral to see someone else, we can treat all the causes in house and determine whether one of our non-surgical laser treatments or our VSPOT Vaginal Restorative Complex is right for you. Depending on your medical history a combination of both can be the cure you didn’t even know existed. 

 It is true that regular intercourse can help your body get adjusted to producing lubrication on its own. But just because you don’t have a partner doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to maintain your results. Some solo fun can help get your juices flowing. 

“Masturbation can help to maintain blood flow, tone and laxity of vaginal muscles and tissues, and also prevent your libido from declining.”-VSPOT Expert Dr. Grover.

4 Reasons you should ask your Best Friend… How’s Your Vagina?!

bodies go through so many changes as we age, it almost seems unfair that we can’t talk about it to everyone we meet so that everyone knows about our plight. VSPOT Experts aren’t telling you to share your intimate health status with every stranger you meet, but talk to your girlfriends about it. Here are 4 reasons why…

1. What you may think is abnormal is actually very common.

There is no reason to be anxious if this is your third time getting BV (bacterial vaginosis) this year. It’s not the topic you want to bring up while having brunch with your girlfriends, but have 3 mimosas and blurt it out. Chances are someone at the table is going through it too. You don’t have to freak out and think that this is happening to you alone. 

2. You’ll be able to better identify what to see your doctor about. 

As women, we know our body is always changing. Sometimes our cycles can be heavy and other times skip a whole month. If you’re chatting with your girlfriends about something you think is normal and happening to everybody and it’s only happening to you, that can be a signifier that you need to see your OB-GYN immediately. 

3. You might miss out on groundbreaking treatments

You may feel you’re walking around with this big secret, like you feel like you’re going to pee every time you watch Friends reruns with your bestie. It may seem embarrassing and like something you’d definitely want to keep private. Meanwhile you have no idea your best friend is going through the same thing and is getting non-invasive treatment for it, using the BTL Emsella aka the Kegel Throne at VSPOT every Tuesday and Thursday. Urinary Incontinence can, and does happen to anyone. 

4. Your best friend could have life changing recommendations. 

If your best friend doesn’t know what you’re going through she can’t recommend great doctors. If you’re having consistent odors or terrible menopause symptoms and your current OB-GYN hasn’t had any solutions that work for you, tell your friend. VSPOT Expert Dr. Monica Grover gets new clients monthly because women aren’t getting the treatment they need from their current OB-GYN’s. While some doctors stick to the old tricks, she is constantly looking for new solutions to help each individual. Your current OB may not know that the treatments she is offering are even available. 

5. Women need safe spaces! 

VSPOT, a place that every woman who enters deems absolutely necessary, wouldn’t be able to exist if we weren’t talking to our best friends about our intimate health. Word of mouth goes a long way to support small businesses like VSPOT. If you came to VSPOT and your sex life has improved because of our trademark  O-SHOT+Feminine Serum combo… tell a friend. If sex used to be painful for you, and you came to VSPOT for a Femilift…tell your sister. If estrogen creams and lubes just weren’t cutting for your menopause symptoms and after BioTe Hormone Therapy and you finally feel like yourself again…toast to it at your next brunch. 

Talking about our vaginas is how we make sure that the next generation never has to suffer in silence. So the next time you’re having a one on one with your bff turn to her and ask “How’s your vagina”?!  It could change your life forever.

5 Postpartum Secrets the Mommy Bloggers Forgot to Mention

Expecting a child is just about the most nerve-racking experience a woman will ever encounter. The preparation seems endless and exploring every “what if” scenario might feel absolutely necessary. We all want to know every way our bodies will change, but a quick google search just isn’t going to cut it. After numerous hours of research that included listening to podcasts and reading through various blogs, I hardly found a single platform that discussed the following woes in detail. Luckily, we are here to start this conversation and get you back to where you want to be postpartum

1. You might keep peeing your pants or leaking.

On the list of things nobody told you about postpartum health, there are some frequent fliers. The dreaded “first poop”, the abundance of after birth and the seemingly never-ending discharge (also known as lochia) appear on every list. Most of these can leave you thinking “gross, but at least there’s an end date.” The real B word, Bladder Leakage doesn’t always have one. “Sometimes it ends in 6-12 weeks and sometimes it doesn’t,” says VSPOT Expert and mother of two, Dr. Grover. Pregnancy can weaken the pelvic floor whether you had a vaginal birth or a C-section. Either one can make you susceptible to the uh-oh moment of a “sneeze and pee.” Thankfully, the Kegel Throne at VSPOT is here to help! The “kegel throne” can treat the urinary incontinence you have from your last child and prevent it from being prolonged in the future by keeping your pelvic core strong. For more information on this life-altering treatment, check out our blog post Kegels Are The New Botox or come in for a consultation with one of our VSPOT Experts to check your pelvic floor health.

2.  Your Tummy Splits in Two.

Two words I did not see enough while conducting my research were Diastasis Recti. If you’ve given birth recently and it feels like the muscle in your abdominal wall has split into two halves, you could have postpartum diastasis recti. The usual discussions surrounding new mommy tummies are usually about unwanted stretch marks and C-Section scars. Diastasis recti and its healing process are almost never talked about. This usually heals on its own in about two to six months after childbirth but sometimes it doesn’t. While it isn’t life-threatening, it can be a constant reminder of what your body used to be. The important thing to note is that you do not need surgery to correct this. “The Emsculpt is one of the few non-surgical ways that really correct diastasis (recti)” VSPOT Expert Dr. Grover said. The machine uses Highly Focused Electromagnetic Energy (HIFEM) to do 20,000 muscle contractions in 30 minutes. Clinical studies have shown that ab separation caused by diastasis is dramatically reduced after 4 treatments.

3. Your Vulva Darkens.

Considering VSPOT’s V-Lightening is among the most popular treatments, it’s sad to say I didn’t see this in the blogs. “One thing that is more common than you think is the darkening of the labial skin” VSPOT Expert Dr. Grover said when asked about her own postpartum concerns. “Excess hormones from the pregnancy and from breastfeeding can cause melasma and hyperpigmentation on labial and vulvar skin,” she continued. VSPOT’s safe, non-toxic almond-based peel naturally lightens your intimate skin to reveal an even single-tone complexion.

4. Your Vagina doesn’t just “snapback.”

The legend of the vaginal snapback is just that, a legend. The chances of your vagina being exactly the same as it was before is slim to none. Sex will be different! Orgasms will be different ! And it’s totally normal. However, with today’s technology and one trip to VSPOT, we will have your vag feeling like it is aging backwards. You will feel the difference, and we have Radio Frequency and Cindy Barshop to thank for that. Even if you plan on having another child in the future, it doesn’t mean that in-between you shouldn’t enjoy sex the way that you used to. The Ultra Femme 360 will make sure your entire vulva has never seen better days.

5. Your labia has extra skin.

If you looked in-between your legs right after you gave birth and tried not to look again for a couple of months, you would not be the first. I bet the next time you looked you didn’t expect it to be so similar to the last. Sometimes the labial skin extends and does not go back to where it was. If you’ve shared this concern with your partner, best friend, or your mother and they all said “it’s no big deal” but you just can’t shake it, you’re not alone. Before you resort to going under the knife, come in for a consultation for VSPOT’s one of a kind labia precision-plasty. This minimally invasive, first of it’s kind treatment uses heat and radio frequency to completely reshape the vulva to your liking. Don’t let people shame you into thinking you have to love your vulva the way it is. You deserve to feel powerful naked and VSPOT understands. That’s why we work tirelessly to bring the safest, effective and most innovative treatments to as many vulva owners as possible.
