Genital mesotherapy is applied to the vulva and vagina to bring elasticity and firmness to the skin and activate microcirculation. In treating vulvovaginal atrophy, it provides hydration, improving dryness and the pain that can result from coital penetration during sexual intercourse.
It is also used to improve the quality of the skin in some dermatological conditions affecting the genital region, such as vulvar lichen sclerosus, and in cases of genital hyperpigmentation as an adjuvant in depigmentation treatments.
It is a very versatile treatment with multiple indications which can be performed on anyone from the age of 18 regardless of their skin type.
What it is
It consists of applying multiple microinjections to the skin and genital mucosa containing carefully chosen active ingredients which act selectively. At our clinic, each patient receives a combination of ingredients that have been custom formulated to address their specific needs.
Although the needles are very thin and barely noticeable, topical or localised anaesthesia is always applied to the vaginal area.
- Mechanical stimulation
The action of the needle causes a physical stimulation that activates the skin’s repair and regeneration mechanisms.
- Action of active substances
Vitamins or other active ingredients administered directly by microinjections ensure the utmost efficacy of the treatment.
- Microdosing
Multiple injection points with small amounts of solution in each one activates a greater number of skin receptors and optimises the capacity to absorb the active substances.
Who is the treatment intended for?
- Vulvovaginal atrophy.
- Poor hydration, vaginal dryness.
- Poor luminosity, flaccidity, sagging of the vulvar skin.
- Painful sexual intercourse.
- Vulvar lichen sclerosus.
- As a complementary therapy in depigmentation treatments.
Expected outcome
With the right ingredients, it is possible to:
- Improve the elasticity of the skin and mucosa of the vulva and vagina.
- Deeply moisturise.
- Redensify and reduce skin’s laxity.
- Prevent skin oxidation.
- Reduce and prevent genital darkening.
Advantages
The advantages of this treatment are:
- Safe and effective outpatient treatment: clinical evidence guarantees that this is a well-tolerated, effective and safe technique.
- Minimally-invasive technique:intradermal administration is carried out superficially with an ultra-thin needle which is barely perceptible. If the patient is particularly sensitive, an anaesthetic cream can be applied beforehand.
- Immediate recovery: since the treatment is minimally invasive, it has few side effects and there is no recovery time. This means normal activity can be resumed immediately.
FAQs
What type of active ingredients are administered with mesotherapy?
The entire range of products we apply (mesohyal®) contain a hyaluronic acid base of non-animal origin that improves skin hydration and quality. Depending on the indication, vitamins and compounds with antioxidant action, trace elements and/or amino acids are added. The goal is to achieve the highest therapeutic response and dermal tolerance in multiple indications.
When are mesotherapy’s results visible?
The first results can be seen about 2-3 days after the first session. However, a minimum of 3 sessions is recommended for best results.
Are there any contraindications to mesotherapy?
It is contraindicated if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and if you are known to be allergic to any of the active ingredients in the formulas used. It is also contraindicated if there is any active infection or skin alteration in the area to be treated, in patients with coagulation disorders and if there is a history of vulvar cancer or in patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment.
Is it compatible with other gynaecological regeneration treatments?
Yes. Mesotherapy can be combined with functional regeneration laser or radiofrequency, although they should not be performed in the same session.
How long do the effects of mesotherapy last?
The effects of the therapy begin to wear off after a year. The technique can then be repeated as long as it is done under medical supervision.
