The mucous membranes of the vagina and cervix contain glands that secrete lubricants. These substances prevent the mucous membranes from drying out and facilitate penetration. A significant drop in this secretion causes vaginal dryness.
La sécheresse vaginale est un problème fréquent qui affecte la qualité de vie des femmes à tout âge. Elle se caractérise par une insuffisance de lubrification naturelle dans le vagin, ce qui peut entraîner une gêne et des douleurs.
La sècheresse intime peut gêner la femme pendant les rapports, à la ménopause ou être simplement cause des démangeaisons.
Le traitement de la sécheresse vaginale améliore le bien-être intime et la qualité de vie des femmes.
Pour la restauration de l’hydratation et le confort vaginal il existe des solutions, notamment les traitements laser et les injections d’acide hyaluronique.
Symptoms of vaginal dryness can vary, but often include :
In order to diagnose vaginal dryness, a medical examination is necessary to make a precise diagnosis and to propose an appropriate treatment.
Vaginal dryness occurs when the glands in the vagina do not produce enough secretions.
Several factors may be responsible:
There are several ways to treat vaginal dryness:
Most of the urogenital symptoms associated with the menopause are due to the reduction in oestrogen production. Genital epithelial tissue gradually thins. The vaginal mucosa becomes thinner and less lubricated. For this reason, hormone therapy has long been the standard treatment for menopausal symptoms. Lubricants and oestrogen pills are often prescribed, but hyaluronic acid injections and lasers are a real revolution in this indication.
L'hyaluronic acid is known for its moisturising properties, making it ideal for restoring moisture and firmness to vaginal tissue.
The hyaluronic acid used is DESIRIAL®.
DESIRIAL® is the first hyaluronic acid specifically formulated for women's intimacy to be CE-marked and validated by the authorities for gynaecological indications (rehydration of the mucosa, plasty of the labia majora and injection of the G-spot).
The injection is carried out in the surgery without a speculum. A local anaesthetic is administered by the doctor. Two syringes are used.
The injections are made at the :
Vaginal mucosa: injections are made into the lateral and posterior walls of the vagina using the multi-point technique. They are superficial and 0.5 - 1 cm deep.
The vestibule (the area where the labia minora meet the entrance to the vagina): injections are performed using the multi-point technique.
Le vaginal laser is a non-invasive treatment that improves the condition of the mucosa by stimulating collagen synthesis and activating microcirculation.
During a laser session, the entire vaginal mucosa is treated.
This treatment is often combined with an injection of hyaluronic acid: the injections target the last two centimetres of the vaginal mucosa, which are often more fragile and require a combined treatment.
The procedure is fast, painless and requires no recovery period.
To avoid side effects, it is important to follow these recommendations:
Certain practices can reduce the risk of vaginal dryness:
The results are immediate for injection of hyaluronic acid and felt after one month for the laser treatment.
The vaginal mucosa is thicker, lubricated and the intimate PH respected.
The benefits obtained are:
Results last between 8 and 12 months. Annual maintenance sessions are required to maintain the benefits of the treatment.

Laser treatment is appreciated for its action in stimulating collagen synthesis, which improves the firmness and tone of the vaginal walls in a lasting way.
Hyaluronic acid injections are recognised for their effectiveness in immediately restoring hydration and suppleness to the tissues.
Women describe a significant improvement in their intimate quality of life, which increases their self-confidence and general well-being.
Les remèdes de grand-mère pour la sécheresse intime sont des solutions naturelles et accessibles pour améliorer l’hydratation et le confort vaginal.
L’huile de coco est souvent recommandée pour ses propriétés hydratantes et antibactériennes. Appliquée localement, elle peut aider à apaiser et à hydrater les tissus vaginaux.
Le gel d’aloe vera est un autre remède, connu pour ses propriétés apaisantes et hydratantes. Les infusions de plantes telles que le calendula ou la camomille peuvent également être utilisées comme bains de siège pour réduire l’inflammation et l’irritation.
Bien que ces remèdes puissent apporter un certain soulagement, il est toujours recommandé de consulter un médecin pour un diagnostic précis et un traitement adapté.
Différencier une mycose vaginale d’une sécheresse vaginale peut parfois être difficile.
Pour déterminer avec précision si vous souffrez d’une mycose ou de sécheresse vaginale, il est essentiel de consulter un médecin pour recevoir le traitement approprié et soulager efficacement les symptômes.
Il existe des signes distinctifs pour chacune de ces conditions :

Symptoms of vaginal dryness
Laser treatment stimulates collagen production and increases blood flow to the vaginal tissues, improving their hydration, firmness and elasticity. This non-invasive method offers long-lasting results with little or no recovery time.
Hyaluronic acid is injected into the vaginal tissues to restore hydration and suppleness. This treatment helps to improve natural hydration and reduce the symptoms of vaginal dryness, providing immediate relief.
The number of sessions depends on the needs of each patient. In general, 2 to 3 sessions of laser treatment or hyaluronic acid injections are recommended for optimal results. Your doctor will draw up a personalised treatment plan during your initial consultation.
Treatments are generally well tolerated. Most patients feel slight heat or pressure, but no significant pain. A local anaesthetic is often used for hyaluronic acid injections.
Side effects are generally minor and temporary. You may experience slight redness, swelling or a sensation of heat in the treated area. These usually disappear within a few hours to a few days.
Laser treatments and hyaluronic acid injections offer fast, long-lasting results without the risks and recovery times associated with more invasive procedures. They are also non-hormonal, making them suitable for women who cannot or do not wish to undergo hormonal therapies.
The results of laser treatments and hyaluronic acid injections can last between 8 and 12 months. Maintenance sessions are necessary to prolong the effects. Your doctor will discuss a personalised follow-up plan to ensure that your results last.
