Have been wondering how you can lighten dark inner thighs?
If you have, this blog post will teach you 9 things that you can do for effective dark thighs treatment. From dermatological procedures to prescription medications and skincare products, we have covered the best for you.
Causes of Dark Inner Thighs
Dark inner thighs are caused by an overproduction of the pigment known as melanin which gives skin its color. This melanin overproduction causes the skin to darken (hyperpigmentation) and it can be triggered by friction from the skin rubbing against itself of from tight clothing.
Conditions like PCOS and diabetes can also cause dark skin in between the thighs. Medications and sun exposure are other causes of this condition.
It is therefore important to consult a doctor so that you can be examined and the cause of the dark inner thighs determined.

How to Lighten Dark Inner Thighs:
Get Microneedling with PRP Done
Microneedling is a procedure in which a device with micro-needles is used to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s healing process.
Studies show that microneedling disrupts pigment deposition in the skin which makes it effective for treating dark patches. The micro-injuries created also enhance the absorption of the treatment products used and this further increases the efficacy of microneedling.
We offer microneedling at our Nairobi Almasi Skincare Clinic which is located in Fortis Suites, Hospital road, 8th floor, room 809. We see new clients on Saturdays at 10am and Wednesdays at 2pm.

Get Microdermabrasion Done
Microdermabrasion is a procedure which uses a device to painlessly remove the dead cells on the surface of the skin. This reduces the skin discolorations and results in more even toned skin. It also improves the absorption of the hyperpigmentation treatment products. This makes microdermabrasion effective for treating dark inner thighs.
