Underarm Whitening – Treatments and Prices in Singapore

Underarm Whitening - Treatments and Prices in Singapore

Women love to wear sleeveless tops, tank tops, tube tops, and bikinis – but sometimes, a dark underarm keeps them from wearing these. Dark underarms can make you conscious about showing your body. Just like any skin blemishes and skin pigmentation, dark underarms can lower your confidence.

Dark armpits may be caused by an underlying condition such as diabetes or hypothyroidism. Imbalance in hormones also leads to dark armpits because melanocytes are stimulated by the abnormal levels of progesterone and estrogen. Certain medications such as insulin and corticosteroids are known to have side effects of skin pigmentation. Dark underarms can also be related to external causes such as harsh ingredients from deodorants, dead skin cell build-ups, some lifestyle habits, and friction.

A lot of women can relate to this underarm dilemma, which is why there are a number of underarm whitening treatments being offered nowadays. The proper treatment will depend on the cause of pigmentation, and in some cases, lifestyle changes should be made to get rid of dark underarm skin.

Underarm Whitening Treatments in Singapore

Hyperpigmentation is a common problem, especially among women. This causes the skin to become darker than the rest of the normal area surrounding the skin. Melanocytes produce melanin, the skin’s natural pigment enzymes. A number of factors may stimulate the melanocytes cells, causing an overproduction of melanin, leading to skin pigmentation such as underarm hyperpigmentation, melasmafreckles, and more. 

Since the underarm has delicate skin, it requires proper care and proper treatment. It is recommended to consult a specialist to understand the underlying cause of it and to know what’s the best way to treat your dark armpits.

Underarm Whitening Laser Treatments is a non-invasive treatment that requires little to no downtime. Specialists are able to give more precise treatments for effective underarm lightening. 

Underarm hair also adds to the appearance of dark armpits, which is why you have to get rid of it in a proper way. Shaving causes friction on the skin which worsens pigmentation.

This is designed to treat natural pigmentation conditions such as melasma, freckles, and hyperpigmentation. The cost of this treatment is from $180.

Laser Hair Removal Treatment can permanently get rid of unwanted hair and stop their growth. But asides from removing hair which adds to the dark appearance of armpits, it can also help lighten underarms. The laser energy emitted wipes out hair follicles that make your underarms look darker.

Underarm Whitening Creams

There are a number of topical creams that are used as an underarm whitening treatment that can be bought over-the-counter or through a prescription from the doctor. These products contain active ingredients of skin lighteners and skin bleaching agents that are designed to fight pigmentation. They have the ability to reduce or stop the production of melanin, the skin’s natural pigment. Here are the common active ingredients used in underarm whitening creams:

  • Hydroquinone is a bleaching agent that helps lighten underarms, as well as other skin pigmentation conditions such as melasma, acne scars, freckles, and age spots. Hydroquinone has the ability to decrease melanocyte cells which are responsible for producing melanin.
  • Tri-Luma is a topical cream designed to lighten several types of skin pigmentation. It contains 4% hydroquinone to reduce melanin production, 0.05% of tretinoin for skin exfoliation effect, and 0.01% fluocinolone acetonide to reduce inflammation. The price of this product is around $150 to $250 per 15g tube.
  • Tretinoin, also known as ATRA or all-trans retinoic acid, is an acidic form of Vitamin A. Besides being used as an acne treatment, tretinoin helps increase the production of collagen leading to skin lightening and shedding of old skin cells. This ingredient is found in topical creams and gels.
  • Kojic Acid comes from the fermentation of sake. It is an active ingredient when it comes to fighting hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. Kojic acid contains properties that stop melanocytes from producing melanin. It is also an antioxidant that destroys free radicals before creating further damage to the skin and worsening the pigmentation.
