Ageing does not only affect the face. Over the years, the labia majora gradually lose volume and firmness, resulting in a looser appearance that many women associate with a loss of femininity and self-confidence.
At Clínica Áureo, in Palma de Mallorca, we offer a safe, non-surgical treatment to restore volume and rejuvenate the external genital area: labia majora volumisation with hyaluronic acid.
As we age, the body progressively produces less collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid throughout all tissues, including the intimate area. Hormonal changes associated with menopause, childbirth and significant weight loss can further accelerate the loss of fatty tissue in the labia majora.
As a result, the skin becomes thinner, laxity increases, asymmetries may become more noticeable and, in some cases, women experience dryness or discomfort during physical activity or sexual intercourse. Although this is a completely natural process, it can be effectively treated.
Labia majora volumisation is an aesthetic gynaecology treatment that involves injecting high-density hyaluronic acid into the labia majora using a cannula. This technique minimises discomfort and significantly reduces the risk of bruising.
The hyaluronic acid restores lost volume from within the tissues while improving hydration and skin firmness in the treated area.
The procedure is performed by Dr Cristina Núñez, Medical Director of Clínica Áureo and an experienced aesthetic physician specialising in intimate rejuvenation treatments.
1. Initial consultation: A personalised medical assessment is carried out to evaluate the patient's anatomy, concerns and expectations.
2. Topical anaesthetic: A local anaesthetic cream is applied to maximise comfort throughout the procedure.
3. Hyaluronic acid injection using a cannula: The product is carefully distributed using a cannula instead of a needle, allowing a more even placement while minimising tissue trauma and bruising.
4. Final assessment: Before the patient leaves the clinic, Dr Núñez carefully evaluates the result to ensure optimal symmetry and volume.
5. Follow-up appointment after 15 days: A review appointment is scheduled to confirm the correct integration of the hyaluronic acid and assess whether any minor touch-up is required.
The entire procedure takes approximately 45 minutes, and patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately afterwards.
Labia majora volumisation may be recommended for women who experience:
Menopause is not required for these changes to occur. Many women between the ages of 30 and 45 already notice a gradual loss of firmness that can be successfully improved with this treatment.
Results are visible immediately after treatment and continue to improve over the following weeks as the hyaluronic acid integrates naturally into the tissues and stimulates the body's own collagen production.
Results generally last between 12 and 18 months, depending on each patient's metabolism and the degree of initial tissue atrophy. An annual maintenance session is usually recommended to preserve the results over time.
Labia majora volumisation is a minimally invasive procedure with an excellent safety profile. The most common side effects are mild and temporary:
No downtime or sick leave is required, and most patients resume their normal routine on the same day.
Labia majora augmentation with hyaluronic acid and lipofilling (fat transfer) or intimate surgery share the same objective—restoring lost volume to the labia majora—but they differ significantly in terms of complexity, recovery time and longevity of results.
Hyaluronic acid augmentation is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment performed in the clinic using topical anaesthetic. It requires no operating theatre, no general anaesthesia and no downtime. Results typically last between 12 and 18 months and, if necessary, can be completely reversed using hyaluronidase. It is also considerably more affordable than surgery.
By contrast, intimate surgery usually requires either general anaesthesia or sedation, involves several days of recovery and carries the inherent risks associated with any surgical procedure. However, the results are generally longer lasting.
For women seeking a natural-looking improvement without undergoing surgery, labia majora augmentation is often the ideal option. In cases of more advanced volume loss, Dr Cristina Núñez will assess during the consultation whether intimate surgery may be the more appropriate treatment.
Most patients experience very little discomfort. A topical anaesthetic is applied before the procedure, and the use of a cannula instead of a needle makes the treatment considerably more comfortable while significantly reducing the risk of bruising.
Most women describe the sensation as mild pressure rather than pain. Afterwards, a slight feeling of tightness may be present for a few hours or days before resolving naturally.
In most cases, a single treatment session provides excellent results.
A follow-up appointment is scheduled approximately 15 days later to assess the outcome and determine whether a small additional amount of hyaluronic acid would further optimise the result.
The effects generally last between 12 and 18 months. After this period, a maintenance session is recommended to preserve the restored volume and hydration.
Yes. There is no need for rest or time off work, and most patients resume their normal daily routine immediately after treatment.
As a precaution, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and sexual intercourse for the first 48 hours.
A maintenance treatment is generally recommended every 12 to 18 months, although this varies depending on each patient's metabolism and individual response to hyaluronic acid.
Yes. Labia majora augmentation can be safely performed throughout the year, with no seasonal restrictions.
Yes. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally produced by the body, making it highly biocompatible and very well tolerated.
