aesthetic Gyne Filler
◆
Aesthetic gynecology fillers are minimally invasive, hyaluronic acid-based injections designed to restore volume, hydration, and function to the intimate areas. They are used to combat age- or childbirth-related laxity, dryness, and discomfort, ultimately improving both the physical appearance and sensitivity of the vulvo-vaginal region.
Who needs vaginal fillers?
Any woman who feels they require more volume and plumpness in the vaginal area should seek advice from a specialist. Women who have been through the menopause or are going through the perimenopause and experiencing a drop in their levels of oestrogen levels could particularly benefit. A deficiency of oestrogen leads to loss of elasticity and the tissue becoming flaccid Woman who have had cancer treatment or after weight loss may also find vaginal fillers helpful.
Are vaginal fillers like facial fillers?
Yes, in that they work in a similar way, and both contain hyaluronic acid (HA), a type of dermal filler. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally throughout the body, with the highest concentrations in the joints, eyes, and skin. In the skin hyaluronic acid attracts water, which allows the skin to become more hydrated. However, vaginal fillers are particularly formulated for the delicate genital area. Another difference is, vaginal fillers are not just used for aesthetic reasons, they can help with function too, improving sexual intimacy and allowing women to enjoy activities such as cycling and horse-riding more comfortably.
Why have vaginal fillers?
A loss of volume in the vulval and vagina area can lead to discomfort and a loss of confidence. Sex may become uncomfortable, and even riding a bike or doing sports may be difficult when the protective cushioning tissue is depleted. Fillers can relieve tenderness, as well as enhancing and strengthening the mucosa and structures of the vagina, which in turn, improves appearance.
Key Treatment Types
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.
