Underarm Bleaching at N2 Derm+ at SM North

My kili-kili with bleach

One rainy day I finally earned a day out from my mommy duties and went out with some Titas. I thought it would be the perfect time for some pampering and R&R, so we headed to SM North to try out N2 Derm because Heart Evangelista says so.

(Heart Evangelista is N2 Derm's endorser)

I had to ask the therapist what Heart gets done on her skin and she said laser to make her skin tighter and another service that renews tired skin, perfect for celebs.

They had a buffet of services, from head to foot, from peels to massages. I wanted to get crazy and try everything but my underarms need immediate attention. You see, when some fashionistas get preggers, their underarms get dark - like mine!

I can't get my usual peels yet because I am breastfeeding, so Mhel, the N2 derm staff told me I could get a quick bleach instead. I've tried lots of quick bleaching for my underarms before I found the holy grail of solution for it. Yet, I must say that N2 Derm's underarm quick bleach service has a super more noticeable effect than other spas that offer the same.


N2 Derm+ in Megamall

First, my underarms got scrubed with a hightech brush to remove dead skin cells. Next is a mild peeling solution that was rubbed onto the skin, no stings because it was super mild. Finally, the bleaching solution from fruit acids was applied and covered with cellophane.

Unlike other spas, N2 Derm does not require you to put your arms up for 30 minutes. You can put them down and SMS while waiting for the bleach to take effect.


Start to see results after 3 sessions and white underarms after 6 sessions, 2 weeks interval.

And the result, my underarm was smoother and 30% lighter! I won't put pictures because my underarms are not yet as white as they normally are, but I swear the quick bleach made it better and more bearable to look at :) I think after 3 sessions, you can start to see a huge difference and by the 6th session, you will have sparkling white kilikili.

If you don't want to have your underarms peeled with TCA by a dermatologist, then the quick bleach of N2 derm is a good option. I'll go back again after two weeks if I have the time. This service costs around Php 500, its fast and non-messy. N2 Derm and Nisce are available at SM North and SM Megamall. To see their other branches, log on to http://www.nisceskin.com/

Underarm News: Rexona Skin Light is Launched

Host Angel Jacob exposes the real causes of dark underarms at Rexona Skin Light Launch

Recently, a major breakthrough was launched in Manila. It's all about underarms, dark underarms and how one can be saved from being too self conscious because of this problem. Dark underarms are really a pain in the arse, especially when you want to be active flapping your arms up nonchalantly or just want to wear sleeveless tops, bikinis, or dresses.


Renowned dermatologist Dr. Jean Marquez discusses how plucking and shaving causes underarm discoloration during the event

I've talked about underarm peeling on this blog as well, but here's news - Rexona has added sunflower oil to their formula and even had an underarm doctor speak about the product. You read it right, underarm doctor.


Dr. Satish Goel, Unilever’s Research and Development Director for Asia-Africa, Middle East and Turkey, talks about how Rexona Skin Light offers a solution to dark underarms during the product’s launch

The product is said to give noticeably whiter underarms in as early as two weeks. Maybe if you're not ready for a drastic solution like having your arms peeled, trying Rexona Skin Light would be a nice step.

Bacne, Pimple, and Dark Underarm Solutions

During summer, more skin is naturally exposed because of the hot weather and to enjoy summer fashion or just being comfortable during this season, good if not perfect skin is a must.

Readers and friends ask me about bacne, pimple and dark underarm solutions frequently and just to recap here are the solutions I found effective - really effective!

Back Acne: Body Cream from Caraderme Clinic. Although you have to do this 2 months before summer so your skin can fully recover and peel. This is the only solution that banished my back acne that haunted me since elementary. When new bumps appear, just reapply the body cream or redo the process all over again.

Pimples: If you want to make one huge pimple disappear and stop ruining your photos, try having your pimple injected by your dermatologist. I will share my regimen for the face on another post. Again, I am not flawless but I have suffered from acne since birth and I feel the frustration of those who suffer from acne too.

Dark Underams: Underarm Peeling Treatment and Maintainence
Raising your hand is never embarrassing again if you can finally lighten your dark armpits. Many Asian women suffer from this maybe because of deodorants, shaving, or simply genetics. This worked for me and I hope it would work for you too. Finding a good dermatologist really solves all skin problems! It feels very liberating to wear sleeveless blouses with no problems or concerns about dark underarms.

Whew! Have a beautiful summer everyone! :)

Dark Underarms - the Peeling Solution

Dark underarms? If you have tried countless whitening deodorants, creams, and whitening or bleaching treatments to no avail, try an underarm peeling treatment with your dermatologist.

I personally tried underarm skin peeling at Caraderme, my dermatologist's clinic in Makati. For only Php 1,000 and for less than 30 minutes. Here's what to expect during and after the treatment:

During underarm peeling treatment:

It's better not to shave or wax or put anything at all on your underarms at the day of treatment. Doing so will increase the burning or stinging sensation. The dermatologist will put at least 3 coats of peeling solution at 10 minutes interval per coat. Your underarms will feel very itchy but if you feel pain, tell your dermatologist right away to avoid unpleasant skin reactions.

After the underarm skin peeling:

You can resume you daily activities right away but shaving should be skipped or at least, minimized to avoid abrasions. Do not expect white underarms right away! The skin will look dark as it will peel on its own after 2-3 weeks.

You will be asked to maintain your underarms with creams and a special deodorant that has a skin whitener. Commercial deodorants contain certain ingredients that are the main cause of dark underarms. The maintenance kit cost around Php 1,000.

Look out for:

Red patches on your underarms, look closely - if the skin has just peeled off, better put a small amount of maintenance creams and toner on it. If not, the skin will sting and might be painful for a couple of days (based on personal experience).

Total damage: Php 2,000 ++

Results: After 1 month, white underarms!
