The latest cosmetic trend to hit the Philippines is a vaginal lightening procedure dubbed ‘angel whitening.’
The procedure – which costs PHP50,000 (£700) a session – is being offered at Belo Medical Group clinics, run by celebrity cosmetic surgeon Vicky Belo.
Only licensed practitioners are allowed to perform the treatment, which uses laser technology and takes around 30 minutes, according to local media reports.
And according to a television report about the treatment, it is said to not only whiten but ‘tighten, relax and clean’ a woman’s vagina.
It’s not the only treatment for vaginas offered at Ms. Belo’s clinics. A tightening procedure called FemiLift has been available for women who want ‘to feel like virgins again,’ according to Ms. Belo.
‘Before the fads were facelifts, then came armpit whitening, now we’re seeing women caring about how things look and feel even lower,’
It comes after a report about a Thai clinic offering penis whitening procedure went viral across the world.
Earlier this month, the Leleux Hospital in Bangkok said the craze was sweeping the country – and claimed more than 100 men a month visit the clinic for the procedure.
