Dermal fillers are not only used to restore and replace volume of the face.
Dermal fillers are an effective treatment and offer many potential benefits when used to treat the vaginal area.
Vaginal dermal fillers can address certain symptoms associated with menopause, such as vaginal atrophy.
Vaginal atrophy is a common issue among menopausal and postmenopausal individuals, which involves thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls due to decreased estrogen levels.
Some of the potential benefits of treating the vagina with dermal fillers in addressing menopausal symptoms are:
Improved Vaginal Lubrication: Dermal fillers, when used in the vaginal area, help in improving moisture and lubrication by restoring volume to the tissues. This can reduce dryness and discomfort during intercourse, which is a common symptom of vaginal atrophy.
Enhanced Vaginal Elasticity: Dermal fillers can help improve the elasticity and firmness of the vaginal tissues, reducing the sensation of looseness that some individuals experience due to reduced collagen and elastin in the vaginal walls during menopause.
Relief from Painful Intercourse (Dyspareunia): Vaginal atrophy can lead to painful intercourse and vaginal irritation due to dryness and thinning of vaginal tissues. Dermal fillers help alleviate this discomfort by improving the condition of the vaginal walls.
Improved Quality of Life: By addressing these symptoms, women may experience an improvement in their overall quality of life, especially in their sexual relationships, reducing any discomfort or pain associated with intimacy.
Non-Hormonal Approach: For individuals who cannot or prefer not to use hormonal treatments for menopausal symptoms, dermal fillers can offer a non-hormonal alternative.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and many patients report little to no discomfort.
A full face to face consultation is required prior to any treatment.
