What Is Nipple-Areola Lightening?
Nipple-Areola Lightening is a cosmetic treatment that reduces dark pigmentation on the nipples and areolas. It targets discoloration caused by genetics, hormones, breastfeeding, friction, or aging. Nipple-Areola Lightening at our affiliated clinic includes applying Tretinoin and Hydroquinone, followed by laser treatment. These methods work by reducing melanin production and promoting skin renewal. The result is a brighter, more even skin tone, and a natural pink appearance, enhancing the overall look of the bust.
How It Works
Hydroquinone has the ability to inhibit the activation of enzyme called thyrosinase, which is responsible for controlling the pigmentation of skin as well as hair. The ingredient also destroys the normal melanin cells, and decomposes melanosomes, this results in prevention of new melanin production.
Tretinoin is vitamin A derived ingredient normally used for acne treatment due to its skin turnover effect. For Nipple-Areola Lightening, Tretinoin is used to target melanin pigment by removing dead skin cells and promoting skin regeneration. With Hydroquinone, the combination increases the effect of the skin lightening.
For deeper pigmentation, laser toning is performed at our affiliated clinic. A low-output laser is gently applied to the nipple and areola, breaking down melanin without damaging surrounding tissue.
Each session takes about 10 minutes and may involve multiple treatments for optimal results. The procedure is generally painless, though local anesthesia can be used upon request with additional charge.
