Body Pigmentation
Depigmentation & Tone Correction
What Is Body Pigmentation Treatment?
Body pigmentation refers to the localised darkening of skin caused by hormonal shifts, chronic friction, inflammation, or post-acne scarring. It often appears in areas such as the inner thighs, underarms, groin, and buttocks.
At Gerka Clinic, we use industry-leading depigmentation protocols like Dermamelan® and Happy Intim®. Our approach is purely medical, focusing on regulating melanin production while improving overall skin texture and health.
How Does the Treatment Work?
Our clinical protocol combines advanced depigmenting agents with barrier-respecting solutions:
1. Happy Intim® Peels
A medical-grade brightening solution specifically designed for sensitive areas to gently exfoliate and lighten pigmentation.
2. Dermamelan® Intimate
The gold-standard depigmenting treatment for the intimate area, groin, and inner thighs, targeting stubborn or deep-seated pigment.
3. Mesoestetic® Body Protocols
Professional peeling agents such as lactic or mandelic acid used to treat pigmentation on the back, chest, and limbs.
4. Prescription Home Care
Tailored formulas to maintain results and prevent rebound hyperpigmentation, ensuring the skin barrier remains healthy.

Clinical FAQs
1. Is body pigmentation treatment safe?
Yes — we use specialized medical-grade ingredients and adjust the protocol based on the sensitivity of the area being treated.
2. How long until I see results?
Noticeable brightening typically appears within 2-4 weeks. For deeper pigmentation or Dermamelan protocols, results continue to improve over 3 months.
3. Can this treat dark inner thighs and underarms?
Absolutely. Friction-induced darkening in these areas is one of the most common concerns we manage at the clinic.
4. Can pigmentation come back?
Yes, if the underlying cause (like friction) continues. We provide specific guidelines on prevention and long-term maintenance.
