Why do the labia majora become thin and/or wrinkled ?

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 :

  • Loss of volume, the labia majora become thin : with age, the adipose tissue that gives the labia majora their fullness diminishes, leading to thinning and a loss of firmness.
  • Decreased elasticity : the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin suppleness, gradually declines, causing skin laxity.
  • Wrinkled appearance, the labia majora become creased : the skin of the labia majora becomes thinner and wrinkled due to reduced hydration and the loss of elastic fibers.

Why do the labia majora change ?

Several factors can cause changes in the labia majora :

  • Fat loss : with age, adipose tissue gradually decreases. This fat loss leads to thinning of the labia majora and a reduction in their volume.
  • Decreased collagen production : the skin loses its elasticity due to reduced collagen and elastin production, two essential proteins for skin structure and suppleness. This decline contributes to a looser and more wrinkled appearance of the labia majora.
  • Hormonal variations : hormonal fluctuations, especially those occurring during menopause, can accelerate the loss of volume and firmness in the labia majora.
  • Pregnancy : the physiological and hormonal changes associated with pregnancy affect the appearance and texture of the labia majora.
  • Weight fluctuations : significant weight variations can lead to volume loss and skin laxity in the labia majora.
  • Genetics : some women naturally have flatter labia majora due to insufficient fat tissue development.
  • Repeated trauma : recurrent physical trauma, especially from sports such as cycling and horseback riding, can contribute to changes in the labia majora.epeated trauma, particularly sports trauma (especially cycling and horse riding).

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. 

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.

  • Medical: laser, radiofrequency, hyaluronic acid injections.
  • Surgical: labioplasty.

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.
