What Is Body Whitening?

Body whitening refers to dermatological treatments designed to reduce melanin production and improve overall skin clarity and brightness. It is often chosen by patients who want to address dark knees, elbows, underarms, bikini lines, or overall dullness caused by aging, friction, or sun exposure.

Who Is It For?

Body whitening is ideal for:

• Individuals with uneven body skin tone
• Those experiencing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
• People looking to brighten intimate or friction-prone areas
• Anyone wanting a smoother, more radiant complexion on the body

Popular Body Whitening Treatments at Gangnam YAAN Skin Clinic

1. Glutathione Injections

A powerful antioxidant that brightens the skin from within, glutathione is often administered as a series of IV drips or injections. It helps reduce melanin levels naturally and supports overall detox and skin glow.

2. Vitamin C Whitening Boosters

Often combined with glutathione, Vitamin C injections help accelerate skin brightening, support collagen production, and protect against free radical damage.

3. Laser Toning for Body Areas

Laser treatments, such as Q-switched Nd:YAG or Pico Laser, are used to treat areas like the underarms, knees, elbows, and inner thighs. These treatments break up excess pigmentation and stimulate collagen for smoother, more even-toned skin.

4. Whitening Cream Programs

Customized topical treatments may be recommended for home use to support and maintain results between clinic visits.

5. Brightening Peels for the Body

Gentle chemical peels can be applied to darkened or rough body areas, removing dead skin and encouraging new, brighter skin to surface.
