Vulva Rejuvenation (Labia Majora Augmentation)
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) dermal fillers, commonly used for facial volumizing and hydration, have been increasingly used for genital enhancement in both men and women. This has resulted in new techniques and products specifically designed for this purpose. Women are now voicing concerns about labial and vaginal laxity, volume loss, and vaginal dryness, which can cause discomfort and reduced sensation. Labia Majora Augmentation is a popular option, which can improve contours by increasing size, enhancing shape, and improving firmness, similar to a “liquid facelift” for the face.
