Vaginal Fillers
Vaginal fillers are specially formulated to improve and rejuvenate the vulvo-vaginal area. They can be a solution for women who have found the tissue in and around their vagina has thinned and become looser and depleted. Losing tissue in this area can have an impact on personal comfort, sexual enjoyment and affect the appearance of the vulval area.

Why have vaginal fillers?
A loss of volume in the vulval and vagina area can lead to discomfort and a loss of confidence. Sex may become uncomfortable, and even riding a bike or a horse may be difficult when the protective cushioning tissue is depleted. Fillers can relieve tenderness, as well as enhancing and strengthening the mucosa and structures of the vagina, which in turn, improves appearance.
Who needs vaginal fillers?
Any woman who feels they require more volume and plumpness in the vaginal area should seek advice from a specialist.

Are vaginal fillers like facial fillers?
Yes, in that they work in a similar way, and both contain hyaluronic acid (HA), a type of dermal filler. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally throughout the body, with the highest concentrations in the joints, eyes, and skin. In the skin hyaluronic acid attracts water, which allows the skin to become more hydrated. However, vaginal fillers are particularly formulated for the delicate genital area. Another difference is, vaginal fillers are not just used for aesthetic reasons, they can help with function too, improving sexual intimacy and allowing women to enjoy activities such as cycling and horse-riding more comfortably.

Sexual intercourse or vigorous exercise should be avoided for about 5 days after the procedure.
Are vaginal fillers painful?
