The labia majora are two skin folds that cover the vulva. Over time, the fat tissue within them diminishes, leading to a loss of volume and firmness. These changes can have both aesthetic and functional consequences.
Restoring the volume of the labia majora is a common request in aesthetic medicine.
Rejuvenating the labia majora can help women regain confidence and enhance intimate comfort.
Hyaluronic acid injections are used to plump and restore volume to the labia majora.
More generally, patients seeking vulvar
aesthetics often request :
Plumping the labia majora naturally is an option sought by many women who want to improve the appearance and comfort of their intimate area without having to resort to surgery.
This is not possible, but certain habits preserve the aesthetics of this area.
A balanced diet rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals is important for maintaining skin health and promoting the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for the firmness and elasticity of the labia majora.
Pelvic floor exercises, such as Kegels, can improve muscle tone, which supports the labia majora.
The regular application of moisturizing creams and natural oils, such as coconut oil or sweet almond oil, is important for hydration.
The labia majora undergo changes over time. These anatomical structures, essential for the protection and aesthetics of the vulva, experience significant modifications in terms of texture, volume, and appearance. Their functionality is also affected.
The main changes are :
Several factors can cause changes in the labia majora :
Hyaluronic acid injections are an effective technique for plumping the labia majora and are considered an alternative to aesthetic surgery, such as labial lipofilling.
The procedure is performed in-office, with local anesthesia using lidocaine administered before the injections.
The injection is done using a cannula and takes approximately ten minutes.
The quantity of product used is often significant, typically ranging from three to six syringes.
After the procedure, it is recommended to :
Hyaluronic acid injections for labia majora augmentation are indicated in the following cases :
While most patients are suitable candidates for this treatment, if skin laxity is too severe, hyaluronic acid injections may not be the best option.
Like any medical procedure, hyaluronic acid injections can lead to side effects, although they are rare and temporary.
For about a week, the patient may feel the product upon palpation, but it will not be visible.
The results of the injections are visible immediately after the procedure, with a gradual improvement over the following two weeks.
Hyaluronic acid injections in the labia majora provide both aesthetic and functional benefits.
The effects typically last between eight and twelve months, depending on the patient’s metabolism, level of physical activity, and the quality of the product used. Annual maintenance sessions are recommended to maintain the results.
The price of a hyaluronic acid injection in the labia majora mainly depends on the amount of product required, which varies according to the patient’s anatomy and the intended goal (volume restoration, improved symmetry, aesthetic or functional comfort).
One to two syringes are sufficient for a functional indication (recurrent infections, friction). For aesthetic correction, three to six syringes may be necessary.
The cost of a hyaluronic acid injection in the labia majora is 600 CHF per syringe.
A thorough assessment is always carried out during the consultation in order to define an appropriate treatment plan and provide a personalised quote.
Patient reviews from those who have opted for hyaluronic acid injections in the labia majora are overwhelmingly positive, with a high satisfaction rate. The main feedback on this vulvar aesthetic treatment includes :
Ageing of the labia majora is mainly caused by a reduction in the production of collagen and elastin in the skin and by fat loss.
Any woman wishing to restore lost volume, improve the firmness and appearance of the labia majora and increase intimate comfort may be a good candidate. A consultation with a doctor will determine whether this option is indicated.
Hyaluronic acid injections restore lost volume by hydrating and plumping the labia majora. They stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and firmness.
Augmentation of the labia majora with hyaluronic acid can be performed in association with a nymphoplasty (surgery performed by a surgeon), also known as a labiaplasty. This combination of treatments makes it possible to correct the appearance of both the labia majora and the labia minora, providing an overall, harmonious rejuvenation of the vulva.
The procedure is generally well tolerated, with slight discomfort rather than significant pain. A local anaesthetic is administered to minimise discomfort during the injections.
Hyaluronic acid injections are a non-invasive procedure, with rapid, natural results and immediate return to normal activities. They are an effective option for treating ageing of the labia majora without surgery.
Signs of ageing include loss of volume, a more wrinkled appearance, reduced firmness and elasticity of the skin, and sagging of the labia majora.
The main reasons are genetic factors, ageing, weight fluctuations, pregnancy and childbirth.
Yes, the vulva changes over time: the skin can become less elastic and the labia majora can become thinner and wrinkled.
There are several methods for rejuvenating the vulva.
There is no "normal" size for labia minora. If the labia minora cause discomfort, irritation, pain during intercourse or difficulty in wearing certain types of clothing, they may be considered too large.
With age, the skin's production of collagen and elastin diminishes and fat melts away.
It is perfectly normal for the labia majora not to be perfectly symmetrical, as is the case with other parts of the body.
To prevent the labia majora from becoming thinner with age, it is important to avoid repeated trauma and possibly resort to medical treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections and laser treatment.
