Practitioners typically use two main densities of hyaluronic acid for intimate health:
High-Density Fillers: Used for Labia Majora Augmentation (sometimes called labial puffing) to restore youthfulness, volume, and cushioning to sagging or hypoplastic outer labia.
Low-Density Fillers: Used for tissue biorevitalization. These act like a moisturizer, attracting water to smooth the mucous membrane, limit vaginal dryness, and alleviate discomfort.
Benefits and Functionality
Depending on the specific area treated, fillers provide several benefits:
Aesthetic: Improves the symmetry and plumpness of the external genitalia.
Functional: Plumping can relieve painful intercourse, reduce friction, and improve overall sensitivity. Specialized "bulking" injections are also used around the urethra to treat mild urinary incontinence.
What to Expect
Procedure: It is a non-surgical, in-office procedure. While the hyaluronic acid creates volume immediately, the final results often become even more apparent over the following week as the filler attracts moisture.
Longevity: Results are not permanent. The hyaluronic acid naturally dissolves over 1 to 1.5 years, after which the procedure must be repeated.
Safety Considerations: Though generally safe, common minor side effects can include temporary swelling, lumps, or bruising.
