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 frequent request in aesthetic-oriented medicine.
Rejuvenation of the labia majora is a procedure that can help women regain self-confidence and improve their intimate comfort.
Hyaluronic acid injections are used to plump the
labia majora. More generally, patient requests in vulvar aesthetics are :
Naturally plumping the labia majora is an option sought by many women wishing to improve the appearance and comfort of their intimate area without resorting to surgical procedures.
This is not possible, but certain habits help preserve the aesthetics of this area.
A balanced diet rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals is important to maintain skin health and promote the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for the firmness and elasticity of the labia majora.
Pelvic floor exercises, such as Kegels exercises, help strengthen muscle tone. This strengthening contributes to better support of 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 change over time.
These anatomical structures, essential for the protection and aesthetics of the vulva, undergo significant changes in terms of density, volume and appearance. Their functionality is also affected as a result.
The main changes are :
Several factors can cause changes in the labia majora :
Hyaluronic acid injections are an effective technique to plump the labia majora and are considered an alternative to aesthetic surgery : labia majora lipofilling.
The injection is performed in the clinic. Before proceeding with the injection, local anesthesia is administered.
The injection is carried out using a cannula, and its duration is approximately ten minutes.
The quantities of product used are often significant, on average between three to six syringes are required.
After the procedure, it is recommended to :
Hyaluronic acid injections for labia majora augmentation are indicated in the following cases :
It is rare that patients cannot benefit from this treatment; however, if skin laxity is too significant, hyaluronic acid injection is not an appropriate solution.
Like any medical procedure, hyaluronic acid injections can cause side effects, although they are rare and transient.
For one week, the patient may feel the product when palpating the treated area, but it will in no way be visible.
The results of the injections are visible immediately after the procedure, with a progressive improvement over the following two weeks.
Hyaluronic acid injections into the labia majora are beneficial from both an aesthetic and functional perspective.
The results last on average between eight and twelve months, depending on the patient's metabolism, physical activity, and the quality of the product used. Annual maintenance sessions are therefore necessary.
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.
Reviews from patients who have opted for hyaluronic acid injections in the labia majora are positive, with a high satisfaction rate.
The main feedback on this vulvar aesthetic-oriented medicine treatment is :
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, thereby improving skin quality and firmness.
Enlargement of the labia majora with hyaluronic acid can be performed in combination with a nymphoplasty (a surgical procedure performed by a surgeon), also known as a labiaplasty. This combination of treatments makes it possible to correct both the appearance of the labia majora and the labia minora, thus offering a global and 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, aging, 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 to rejuvenate the vulva.
Medical : laser, radiofrequency, hyaluronic acid injections.
Surgical : labiaplasty.
There is no “normal” size for the labia minora. If the labia minora cause discomfort, irritation, pain during sexual intercourse or difficulty wearing certain types of clothing, they may be considered too large.
With age, the production of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases and fat melts.
It is perfectly normal for the labia majora not to be perfectly symmetrical, as with other parts of the body.
To prevent thinning of the labia majora with age, it is important to avoid repeated trauma and possibly resort to medical treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections and laser treatments.
