Deflated Labia & Labial Volume Loss Treatment UK Labia Majora Filler (HA) “Labial Puff"

Menopause-related oestrogen decline can significantly affect vulval and urogenital tissues[cite: 130, 152]. [cite_start]This condition, known as GSM, can cause atrophy, thinning, and reduced elasticity in tissues including the vulva[cite: 131, 257]. [cite_start]While hormone therapy addresses underlying tissue health, it may not fully restore lost volume once significant atrophy has occurred[cite: 189, 244].

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance that attracts and holds water, creating volume and hydration within the tissue[cite: 209]. [cite_start]In labia majora augmentation, medical-grade HA filler is placed into the subcutaneous tissue to restore fullness and protective cushioning[cite: 207]. [cite_start]Its safety profile is well-established through decades of clinical use[cite: 210].

As part of the natural ageing process, the labia majora can progressively flatten and lose subcutaneous fatty padding[cite: 133, 151]. [cite_start]This anatomical change reduces the protective function of the outer labia, making delicate structures more susceptible to friction and external irritation[cite: 149, 173]. [cite_start]This process is driven by universal changes in collagen density and skin elasticity[cite: 157, 158].

Certain medical interventions, such as chemotherapy, pelvic radiation, or breast cancer treatments like aromatase inhibitors, can induce rapid changes in hormone levels[cite: 166, 167]. [cite_start]These changes often lead to accelerated tissue atrophy and volume loss in the vulval area[cite: 156, 166]. [cite_start]For these women, non-hormonal restoration options like HA filler provide a targeted solution[cite: 135].

Individual anatomy varies considerably[cite: 165]. [cite_start]Some women naturally have less subcutaneous fat in their labia majora, while others may be genetically predisposed to earlier or more significant volume loss over time[cite: 164]. [cite_start]Understanding that "normal" looks different for every woman is a cornerstone of our clinical assessment[cite: 165].

Choosing softer, seamless underwear made from breathable natural fabrics can reduce friction and irritation[cite: 177]. [cite_start]Avoiding tight clothing, particularly during exercise or extended wear, minimises pressure on the area[cite: 178]. [cite_start]Some women benefit from using moisture-wicking fabrics during physical activity and switching to looser daily wear to improve comfort[cite: 179].

Regular use of vulval moisturisers can help maintain tissue hydration and create a protective barrier against friction[cite: 180]. [cite_start]It is important to use products specifically formulated for external vulval use that are free from harsh chemicals or fragrances[cite: 181]. [cite_start]Proper hygiene, including using gentle cleansers and pat drying the area gently, helps prevent further irritation[cite: 183, 185].
