Wearing rough underwear can cause the areola to turn black? What are the methods to make the areola pink and tender

The areola is the essence of the breast, but with the increase of age, the color of the areola will gradually deepen and lose its original tenderness and attractiveness. In order to change this situation, many women are looking for effective methods, and some people are asking why the areola turns black? What are the methods for whitening areola?

What causes the areola to darken?

1. Bask in the sun

Wearing a bikini without sunscreen effect, the fabric becomes more transparent after entering the water, allowing sunlight to have a chance to invade the chest. Or if you prefer to wear thin, transparent and cute clothes, do not wear underwear, or do not protect against sun, it can cause the areola to turn black.

2. Wearing rough underwear

The material of underwear is rough, and continuous friction with the areola can also cause melanin deposition. The corpus luteum hormone of girls is secreted in large quantities every menstrual cycle, and the stimulation of melanocytes by corpus luteum hormone also promotes the secretion of a large amount of black, leading to blackening and deepening of the areola.

3. Excessive stimulation

Excessive sexual activity, babies sucking breast milk, liking to sponge their bodies, and improper exfoliation can cause melanin deposition. Due to physiological changes in the human body after adulthood, melanocytes are stimulated by luteinizing hormone, which promotes the secretion of a large amount of melanin in the body. Therefore, the areola will gradually deepen from pink to dark brown and then from dark brown to black.

4. High levels of estrogen

Those with higher levels of estrogen in females will experience nipple darkening, areola darkening, and labia minora darkening, which is a healthy female characteristic.

After menopause, women may experience pink in their nipples, areola, and labia minora due to low levels of estrogen. Melanin pigment increase, physiological dysfunction, menopausal production function factors, slow metabolism of epidermal cells.

5. Pregnancy

Hormonal changes cause the areola to become larger and blacker at the same time, and even if postpartum hormones gradually return to normal, the size of the areola cannot return to its pre pregnancy appearance. During pregnancy and after childbirth, women's liver continuously detoxifies fetuses, leading to weakened liver function. Coupled with the influence of hormonal balance, melanin increases sharply and strands of sediment accumulate, leading to darkening and deepening of the areola.

What are the methods for whitening areola?

1、 Laser

The advantage is that the effect is fast, while the disadvantage is that the wound recovery time is long and the cost is high. The cost varies depending on the size of the areola, and it costs about 8-10000 yuan. The recovery period is about 10-12 days. After the scab falls off, it can become a pink areola like a young girl. However, with personal physique, it will return to its original color in about 3-6 months. Due to the fact that areola blackening is often caused by personal factors, women who undergo laser whitening surgery usually recover their areola color within 3-6 months. To delay the blackening of the areola, daily maintenance can be carried out with substances such as citric acid, ursolic acid, and vitamin A acid to delay the blackening time.
