It is quite common thought that the pink color of the genitals is more pleasant than the dark one. In my experience most women requesting a labia minora correction procedure when asked “Would you prefer pink or dark labia minora?” the answer is consistently the same: “Rosee.” The same goes for the perianal and perineal region. It seems that the pink color is the most welcome, the most reassuring and probably in the unconscious most similar to the perfection of the adolescent anatomical model and therefore to absolute beauty. I find nothing aberrant in a woman or man who wishes to have pinker genitals or perigenital area. The problem is not the legitimacy of the desire for treatment but the extreme difficulty of finding an appropriate treatment with high efficacy and low complication rate.
The genital region is in fact difficult to treat due to the delicacy of the tissues and their sometimes unpredictable reactivity. Treatments that prove effective on facial skin pigmentations prove to be ineffective or excessively effective on mucous membranes and genital skin. Lasers that act favorably on the pigmentations of other body areas must be used with appropriateness and particular precautions.
The masters of depigmentation are Egyptian, Indonesian and Arab dermatologists, who deal with pigmentation problems infinitely more complex than those we are used to. They, the masters, with whom to interface in the search for treatments with innovative topical compounds of efficacy and low local reactivity. Depigmentation or whitening is a myth exaggerated by the media, exaggerated, almost censored by the somewhat moralistic common thought but in reality it is a little requested procedure
