Useful information for patients on Hydration and Restructuring of the Vulvovaginal Mucosa
Vaginal dryness is very common, especially after menopause when hormone levels naturally change. However, it can also be caused by other underlying medical conditions. Because of this, it is always a good idea to have a medical examination of the condition before treatment before starting any treatment.
Sometimes, dryness is linked to changes in the vagina's natural pH balance. This can be triggered by:
Vulvovaginal hydration and restructuring refers to a group of non-surgical or minimally invasive treatments designed to improve:
These treatments aim to support the health of the vaginal lining (mucosa), which can become dry, thin, or less elastic over time.
Changes in the vaginal area are common and can be caused by:
Techniques for this may include:
When performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, this treatment is considered safe and effective. However, as with all surgery, risks should be discussed during consultation.
Your practitioner may recommend one or a combination of the following:
These approaches aim to improve lubrication, trophism, and tissue quality.
PRP has the potential to be a non-hormonal minimally invasive treatment in patients with sexual dysfunction, producing an increase in collagen formation and neovascularization of the vaginal mucosa (new blood vessels formed in the tissue lining).
PRP is done by drawing blood from the patient, processing it and extracting the portion where a higher platelet concentration is present and with it a high concentration of the patient’s own growth factor. This rich platelet plasma is then applied into the vaginal lining.
PRP in the vagina wall supports tissue repair and regeneration. This may help improve hydration, sensitivity and overall tissue health. Some early studies suggest potential benefits, but more research is needed to fully understand how long the results can last.
There are many ways to rejuvenate the vulvovaginal area. However, micro and nanofat offer significant and long-lasting improvement, being an autologous treatment that integrates into the tissues without producing serious side effects.
This may help:
Because it utilises your own tissue, it is generally well tolerated.

Ensure you consider all aspects of a procedure. You can speak to your surgeon about these areas of the surgery in more detail during a consultation.
How Long Is the Procedure?
Hydration and restructuring of the vulvovaginal mucosa with vitamins and hyaluronic Acid (HA)/PRP: 20-40 minutes (office procedure)
Do I Need Anesthesia?
HA/PRP: Topical anesthesia is typically used for better results and more comfort.
Fat grafting: Local anesthesia with light sedation
General anesthesia, or pudendal blockage may also be chosen.
Is The Procedure Inpatient or Outpatient?
Typically an outpatient procedure.
What are the side effects?
Potential Risks:
Hydration and restructuring of the vulvovaginal mucosa with vitamins and hyaluronic acid or PRP, the incorporation to habitual life is immediate while the same procedure with micro and nanofat usually needs 24 hours of recovery at home.
Patients commonly report improved lubrication and comfort in daily life. Multiple sessions may be required depending on the method used.
Please note: Individual results vary from patient to patient due to factors such as age, skin quality, body type, and overall health. To understand what results you can expect, consult with a qualified aesthetic plastic surgeon.
