What is body whitening?
Body whitening, or body brightening, aims to reduce localised darkening and restore a more even tone, rather than change your natural skin colour. Darker patches often develop where skin rubs together or is irritated, such as the underarms, inner thighs, elbows and knees, and can also follow sun exposure, shaving, ingrown hairs or hormonal changes.
The main treatment at Egg Clinic is body laser toning, which uses low-energy laser pulses to gradually break up excess pigment with minimal irritation. Depending on your skin, the doctor may add gentle exfoliation or brightening care, and recommend home habits such as reducing friction and using sunscreen to support results.
Who is a good candidate for body whitening?
- Darker underarms, elbows, knees or ankles
- Uneven tone on the inner thighs or bikini line
- Pigmentation left after shaving, waxing or ingrown hairs
- Sun-related unevenness on the neck, chest or back
- People who want a gradual result with no downtime
Body whitening is not suitable over irritated, infected or freshly sunburned skin, and laser treatment is usually postponed during pregnancy. Sudden or spreading dark, velvety patches can be linked to medical conditions and should be checked by a doctor first. The doctor reviews your skin type and history before planning treatment.

What results can I expect?
Body laser toning works gradually: most people notice a brighter, more even tone after several sessions spaced about one to two weeks apart, with a typical course of five to ten sessions. There is usually no downtime, although slight redness can appear for a few hours. Because friction, shaving and sun exposure can bring darkening back, results last longest when you protect the skin and keep a maintenance plan. Results vary with the cause of the pigmentation and your skin type.

Frequently asked questions
Does body whitening change my natural skin colour?
No. Body whitening aims to lighten areas that have become darker than the rest of your skin, so the tone looks more even. It does not change your overall natural skin colour.
How many body whitening sessions do I need?
Most people need around five to ten sessions spaced one to two weeks apart. The doctor estimates the number based on the area and cause of darkening.
Does body laser toning hurt?
Most people feel only mild warmth or light snapping. Numbing cream is rarely needed.
Is there downtime after body whitening?
There is usually no downtime. Slight redness can occur for a few hours, and you can return to normal activities straight away.
Can darker underarms be treated?
Yes, underarms are one of the most commonly treated areas. Reducing friction and shaving irritation helps keep results.
How much does body whitening cost in Seoul?
The price depends on the area and number of sessions, so the doctor confirms it at consultation. You can see published prices on the body laser toning price list.
