penis whitening

Well, we've been hearing about vaginal rejuvenation for a while now. I guess it's only logical to assume some people are doing cosmetic surgery on their penis. Sure enough. World is getting crazier by the day.


PENIS-WHITENING LASER PROCEDURE GOES VIRAL IN THAILAND

from Newsweek
While in some parts of the world beauty standards push people to seek a tanned look, in other countries such as Thailand the trend is to make one’s skin look whiter, either via laser procedures or skin products. Several of these have caused controversy, including stirring accusations of promoting racism, such as a January 2016 commercial featuring a slogan “Whiteness makes you win,” as The Guardian reported at the time.
The Lelux Hospital in Bangkok began offering the penis-whitening procedure six months ago after one of its clients complained about dark pigmentation on his groin, French news agency Agence France-Presse reported. It has since performed the procedure on dozens of patients.
“These days a lot of people are asking about it. We get around 100 clients a month, three to four clients a day,” Bunthita Wattanasiri, a manager for the Skin and Laser department at Lelux Hospital told AFP, adding that most clients are between 22 and 55 years old.
The procedure is performed over several sessions, each costing about $155, according to German news agency dpa, or $650 for five sessions.
“We use the same pigmentation laser equipment employed in other skin treatments. All of the equipment received certification [by Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health],” Popol Tansakul, Lelux’s marketing manager, told dpa. According to him, the procedure is so popular, clients need to book at least a week in advance. He said so far no one reported issues.
However, authorities in Thailand have expressed concern about the procedure's health risk. “The skin of the private parts is sensitive. Such laser services may cause irritation, allergies and inflammation,” Dr. Thongchai Keeratihuttayakorn, deputy director-general of the Health Service Support Department said in a statement issued by the Ministry of Public Health. Warning that the procedure may also impact the reproductive system, the doctor summarized: "It's not worth the money."
