Aesthetic care for the female intimate area has ceased to be a taboo subject and has become an increasingly frequent and normal consultation. Intimate aesthetic medicine, also called gynaecoesthetics, groups a set of non-surgical treatments designed to address changes in the hydration, firmness, comfort, or tone of this area. In this article, we explain, respectfully and without sensationalism, what it consists of.
Why the intimate area changes over time
The skin and mucous membranes of the intimate area, like the rest of the body, evolve throughout life. Factors such as pregnancies, postpartum, hormonal changes during menopause, or simply the passage of years can modify their hydration, elasticity, or pigmentation. These are natural changes that, for some women, cause discomfort or insecurity and can be addressed with non-surgical aesthetic approaches.
What concerns are most frequently consulted
- Dryness and lack of hydration of the intimate area, especially during menopause.
- Loss of firmness or tone of the vulvar skin after pregnancies or with age.
- Pigmentation changes: darkening of the area that some women wish to unify.
- Sensation of volume loss in the labia majora.
Each of these concerns has a different approach, and the first step is always a medical assessment to rule out causes that require specific gynaecological attention before considering any aesthetic treatment.
What treatments it covers
Intimate aesthetic medicine brings together regenerative and hydrating techniques, all of which are non-surgical:
- Regeneration with PRP, PRF, or exosomes: to stimulate tissue quality and regeneration.
- Hydration with hyaluronic acid: to improve hydration and comfort.
- Radiofrequency: to work on firmness non-invasively.
- Intimate chemical peeling and depigmenting laser: to unify skin tone.
- Depigmenting mesotherapy: to address pigmentation with microinjections of active ingredients.
It is important to clarify what gynaecoesthetics is not: it is not intimate surgery, nor does it deal with sexual function or infections, areas that correspond to other specialties. It is regenerative and comfort-oriented aesthetic medicine.

Frequently asked questions
Does intimate aesthetic medicine include surgery?
No. At Santé, we work exclusively with non-surgical techniques: regeneration, hydration, radiofrequency, peelings, and laser. Intimate surgery belongs to another specialty.
Is it painful?
It depends on the treatment. Generally, measures are used for your comfort, such as anaesthetic creams, and discomfort is usually mild. We will discuss this in the consultation.
Who is a good candidate?
Adult women with concerns about hydration, firmness, or tone of the intimate area, after a medical assessment that rules out causes requiring another approach.
When are results seen?
They vary depending on the technique: hydration with hyaluronic acid is perceived sooner; regenerative treatments act more progressively. Results may vary between individuals.
