Pourquoi les grandes lèvres sont fines et/ou fripées ?

The labia majora change over time.
These anatomical structures, which are essential to the protection and aesthetics of the vulva, undergo significant changes in terms of texture, volume and appearance. Their functionality is also affected.

The main changes are as follows:

  • Perte de volume, les labia majora deviennent fines : avec l’âge, le tissu adipeux qui confère aux grandes lèvres leur plénitude diminue, entraînant un amincissement et une perte de fermeté.
  • Diminution de l’élasticité : la production de collagène et d’élastine, essentielles à la souplesse de la peau, diminue progressivement, ce qui provoque un relâchement cutané.
  • Aspect fripé, les labia majora deviennent fripées : la peau des grandes lèvres devient plus fine et fripée à cause de la réduction de l’hydratation et de la perte de fibres élastiques.

  • Pregnancy: the physiological and hormonal changes associated with pregnancy affect the appearance and texture of the labia majora.
  • Weight fluctuations: significant variations in weight can lead to a loss of volume and sagging of the skin of the labia majora.

What causes ageing of the labia majora?

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. 

Toute femme souhaitant restaurer le volume perdu, améliorer la fermeté et l’aspect des grandes lèvres et augmenter son confort intime peut être une bonne candidate. Une consultation avec un médecin permettra de déterminer si cette option est indiquée.

Les injections d’acide hyaluronique restaurent le volume perdu en hydratant et en repulpant les grandes lèvres. Elles stimulent la production de collagène, améliorant ainsi la texture et la fermeté de la peau.

L’augmentation des grandes lèvres par acide hyaluronique peut être réalisée en association avec une nymphoplastie (intervention chirurgicale réalisée par un chirurgien), également connue sous le nom de labiaplastie. Cette combinaison de traitements permet de corriger à la fois l’apparence des grandes lèvres et des petites lèvres, offrant ainsi un rajeunissement global et harmonieux de la vulve.

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.

Oui, la vulve change avec le temps : la peau peut devenir moins élastique, les grandes lèvres s’affinent et se fripent.

Il existe plusieurs méthodes pour rajeunir la vulve.

  • Médicales : laser, radiofréquence, injections d’acide hyaluronique.
  • Chirurgicales : labioplastie.

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.

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.
