What it is: the application of hyaluronic acid specifically for the intimate area, a molecule with a great capacity to retain water.
What it's for: to improve hydration, elasticity, and comfort of intimate tissue, especially when there is dryness.
When: it is common during menopause, postpartum, or whenever the area loses hydration.
Results: improved comfort is usually perceived relatively quickly and can vary between individuals.
Dryness in the intimate area is a very common concern, especially after menopause, and directly affects daily comfort. Intimate hydration with hyaluronic acid is one of the aesthetic gynecology treatments designed to address it non-surgically. In this article, we explain it naturally.
Why intimate dryness appears
The hydration of the intimate mucosa largely depends on hormonal balance. When estrogen levels decrease — as occurs during menopause, postpartum, or during lactation — the tissue can become thinner and drier, causing discomfort. Other individual factors also play a role. It is a common physiological change that has comfort-focused approaches.
What hyaluronic acid is and why it hydrates
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that the body itself produces and has an enormous capacity to retain water. In aesthetic medicine, it is used precisely for this property. In the intimate area, specific formulations are used, designed for this mucosa, with the aim of providing hydration and improving the elasticity and comfort of the tissue.
Unlike creams, which act on the surface, hyaluronic acid applied medically works from within the tissue itself, giving it a more sustained effect.
How it is applied
The treatment is performed by medical personnel in the clinic, with measures for your comfort such as anesthetic cream. Hyaluronic acid is applied to the indicated area in a controlled manner. The procedure is quick and generally well-tolerated. It does not act on sexual function: its objective is tissue hydration and comfort.
What to realistically expect
One of the advantages of hydration with hyaluronic acid is that the sensation of comfort is usually perceived relatively quickly. The effect is temporary and lasts for a period that varies depending on the person and the formulation, so repeating the treatment periodically can be considered to maintain it.
As with any medical treatment, results may vary, and the prior assessment rules out causes of dryness that require a specific gynecological or hormonal approach.
How we approach it at Santé
At Santé, intimate hydration with hyaluronic acid is performed by Dr. Nerina Mengani, a gynecologist with a Master's in Aesthetic and Cosmetic Gynecology. In the consultation, we assess the cause of your dryness and decide with you if hyaluronic acid hydration is the most suitable option or if it should be combined with other regenerative techniques.
We attend in Spanish, English, Portuguese, and Russian at Avenida Diagonal 384, in the Eixample of Barcelona. The initial assessment consultation resolves your doubts in a discreet environment, without promising guaranteed results.
