December 14, 2024

This episode explores a study on labia majora augmentation using stabilized hyaluronic acid injections in two age-specific groups of women. The research assesses the effects on reproductive-aged women and perimenopausal women, focusing on issues such as lipodystrophy and genitourinary syndrome of menopause. The study notes improvements in vaginal health index, particularly among perimenopausal participants, due to enhanced lubrication and pH balance. It confirms the procedure’s safety and highlights increased volume and elasticity, contributing to high patient satisfaction. The findings present valuable insights for both healthcare providers and patients in the field of aesthetic gynecology.

Episode Transcript

Today is December 14th, and we’re diving into an insightful study in the world of aesthetic gynecology regarding labia majora augmentation. Conducted on 40 women divided into two age-specific groups, this research evaluated the effects of stabilized hyaluronic acid injections. Group 1 consisted of women aged 25 to 45 with a primary focus on lipodystrophy, while Group 2 included perimenopausal women aged 46 to 65, also dealing with genitourinary syndrome of menopause.

During the year-long observation, participants received 2 ml of HYALUFORM Filler Intimo, renowned for its hyaluronic acid content. The study yielded some intriguing outcomes. Reproductive-aged women maintained a stable vaginal health index (VHI), while their perimenopausal counterparts experienced a notable VHI increase from 17 to 21 points. This improvement stemmed from enhanced lubrication and pH balance, highlighting the filler’s efficacy, despite it not directly impacting vaginal tissues.

Importantly, the procedure was well-tolerated, with no adverse side effects recorded. This research emphasizes the benefits of restored volume and elasticity, largely driven by elastogenesis and collagenogenesis, adding to patient satisfaction. This promising approach in intimate contour correction offers a new perspective for both medical professionals and patients alike.
