Vaginal dryness

The female genital organs, like all organs of the body, has changed over the time. During the menopause, the tissues of the vulvar area are particularly affected by the decreasing oestrogen production.

Without oestrogen, the vaginal mucosa thins and dries out, making it weaker. The vagina becomes less supple and less elastic. Vagina’s natural protection mechanisms become less effective, exacerbating the risk of vaginal infection. As a result, global discomfort and the modification of the vulvo- vaginal mucosa can have an adverse effect on the women’s quality of daily life including painful sexual intercourse. These symptoms are usually due to the loss of elasticity of the mucosa and occur specifically during the menopause. Child-bearing age women can also be affected.

DESIRIAL® is the world’s first range of non-animal, bioresorbable, injectable hydrogels, exclusively developed to preserve women’s intimate health. DESIRIAL® products are designed and manufactured in France by Laboratoires Vivacy, the Aesthetic and Anti-Ageing Medicine specialist.

DESIRIAL® is indicated for all cases of vulvo-vaginal dryness. This degradation of tissues may be perceived as discomfort or burning, increased sensitivity or chronic irritation and itching which can lead to wounds.

Results

• Soothing effect of the irritated areas

How can an injection of hyaluronic acid help relieve women suffering from vulvo-vaginal disorders?

Injections bring hyaluronic acid directly into the tissues of the vulvo-vaginal area to contribute to its efficient hydration. This type of injection exerts a mechanical pressure on the cells of the vulvo-vaginal mucosa indirectly increasing their activity, leading to the synthesis of elastin and collagen fibres to improve the quality of the vulvo-vaginal mucosa and improving dryness.

HYALURONIC ACID: HYDRATING ACTION

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring molecule in the human body, particularly in the skin and mucous membranes. It has the specific feature of retaining up to 1,000 times its weight in water2, contributing to the hydration and the tone of the concerned tissues.
Hyaluronic acid has a short half-life and is soluble in water, so it needs to be crosslinked in order to stabilise the product. This process will bind molecules together according to the patented IPN-Like Technology to obtain a cohesive gel that will last for several months. As a result, DESIRIAL® is able to maintain its hydrating capabilities for several months.
