Why Do Underarms Turn Darker

Introduction: Dealing with Dark Underarms in Singapore

We’ve heard this question many times from our customers at Wellaholic. As aesthetic professionals with years of experience, we’ve seen how underarm discoloration can affect confidence.

In this article, we’ll share our expert advice on underarm brightening. We’ll cover the causes of dark underarms, effective treatments, and tips for maintaining brighter skin. Our goal is to help you understand your options and feel more confident about your underarms.

Axillary hyperpigmentation, commonly known as dark armpits, is a condition that affects many, especially those with darker skin tones.

Understanding Axillary Hyperpigmentation

At Wellaholic, we often see customers concerned about dark patches under their arms. This condition, known as axillary hyperpigmentation, is more common than you might think. We’ve noticed it can range from light brown to deep black, and some people have it worse than others. It’s not just about looks – early spotting and getting a proper diagnosis are key to treating it well.

We always tell our customers that if they notice any changes in their underarm skin colour, it’s best to get it checked out. Our team at Wellaholic is trained to spot the signs and guide you towards the right treatment. Remember, what works for one person might not work for another, so professional advice is crucial.

Wellaholic’s Approach to Treating Dark Underarms

We at Wellaholic have developed a unique approach to treating dark underarms that combines our Skin Whitening Treatment with AfterGlow Red Light Therapy. Our Skin Whitening Treatment uses safe, customized ingredients to control melanin production in the underarm area. We pair this with AfterGlow Red Light Therapy, which repairs and rejuvenates the skin while boosting collagen and reducing inflammation.

This combined approach offers several benefits for our customers at Wellaholic. It effectively lightens the underarm area while improving overall skin health. Many of our customers have seen great results, with noticeably lighter and smoother underarms after a series of treatments. We’re excited to offer this innovative solution that addresses both pigmentation and skin quality concerns in one comprehensive treatment.

Acanthosis Nigricans and skin darkening

Acanthosis Nigricans and Underarm Darkening

As an expert in dermatology, I can tell you that Acanthosis Nigricans is a skin condition that often affects areas of the body with folds and creases, such as the underarms. It is characterized by dark, thick, and velvety skin. This condition is commonly associated with insulin resistance, which is often seen in individuals with obesity or diabetes. 

Unveiling the Cause: Rapid Skin Cell Growth and Insulin Levels

When there’s an excess of insulin in the bloodstream, it can trigger rapid reproduction of epidermal skin cells. This abnormal skin cell growth is what leads to the darkening and thickening of the skin in areas like the underarms. Treating the underlying cause, such as improving insulin sensitivity, can often restore the skin’s usual color and texture.

To maintain the results after skin whitening treatments, it is important to establish a proper skincare routine with emphasis on sun protection, hydration, exfoliation, and incorporating ingredients such as retinoids, vitamin C, and antioxidants

Maintaining Results and Preventing Recurrence

We’ve seen many customers at Wellaholic struggle with dark underarms even after treatment. That’s why we always stress the importance of a good aftercare routine. Sun protection is key – we can’t say it enough! Make sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen on your underarms, especially if you’re wearing sleeveless tops. Keeping your skin hydrated and gently exfoliating once a week can also help maintain those results.

In our experience, certain ingredients can make a big difference. We often recommend products with retinoids, vitamin C, and antioxidants to our customers. These powerhouses can help keep skin bright and even-toned. Don’t forget about what you wear and eat, too. Loose, breathable fabrics can prevent irritation, while a diet rich in antioxidants can boost your skin’s health from the inside out. And remember, regular touch-up treatments at Wellaholic can help you keep those underarms looking their best long-term.

How Wellaholic’s Skin Whitening Treatment Works

We at Wellaholic have developed a skin whitening treatment that tackles dark spots and uneven skin tones head-on. Our approach combines powerful ingredients with advanced technology. The star of our treatment is dipotassium glycyrrhizinate. This ingredient works wonders by reducing melanin production in the skin. We’ve seen great results in customers with stubborn pigmentation issues.

Our treatment doesn’t stop at whitening. We also focus on hydration to keep skin healthy and glowing. For sensitive skin, especially after hair removal, we use gentle methods that soothe and nourish. To top it off, we include our AfterGlow Red Light Therapy. This step boosts collagen production and helps skin heal from the inside out. Many customers tell us they see a visible difference after just a few sessions. We’re proud to offer a treatment that works for all skin types, giving everyone a chance to achieve their skin goals.

We’ve seen many customers at Wellaholic who feel self-conscious about their dark underarms. It’s a common concern, and we’re glad they trust us to help. In our experience, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Each person’s skin is unique, so we always start with a careful assessment to understand the root cause and skin type.
