We all know that the body slows collagen production throughout our adult life. Starting at age 18.5, we loose 1% of collagen per year , and most people have up to 20% collagen loss by age 40. This is when we start to notice the dreadful WRINKLES!
In the vaginal or outer labia area, many women want a firmer, tighter, and fuller natural look. To understand more about which treatments make sense, we should learn about the important components that help with skin structure, namely: Collagen, Elastin, Hyaluronic acid, and fat.
Collagen and its role in smooth, healthy skin
Collagen is a key component of the structure of the skin. Collagen is a protein that supports the functions of elastin and hyaluronic acid (HA). Elastin is an elastic protein that maintains skin shape, while HA cushions and lubricates to keep the skin hydrated. More collagen, allows more elastin and HA to be present, creating skin that appears youthful, fuller, hydrated, and smooth.

Treatment options
Collagen stimulators are used to diminish wrinkles by helping to restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin. There are several ways to achieve this. For the outer labia, deflation or sagging portrays the appearance of an aging vagina.
In order to improve the appearance of the outer labia, several treatment options exist. This options are a part of the XX Revolution™ Restore program which helps restore the youthful appearance of the vagina.

You’re not alone.
Many women struggle with enlarged or droopy outer labial tissue that creates visible bulging in clothes – a common, yet rarely discussed concern that affects daily confidence.
If the outer labia skin is too loose, excision of the excess skin is important. Sometimes, surgery is necessary to create the look we want. Filling loose skin will cause it to stretch even further and create an unnatural look with loose and heavy lips.
Fillers
Use of fillers such as your own fat, hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers or off-the-shelf fat matrix can be used to create a fuller, but natural appearance.
Non-surgical collagen stimulators
Radiofrequency treatments have been shown to stimulate production of both collagen and elastin. Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator injectable works with your body to gradually replace lost collagen.
Sculptra® Aesthetic
As a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, Sculptra Aesthetic is different. It is not a filler. It works with your body deep within the skin structure to help revitalize collagen production and help restore your skin’s inner structure and volume.
As the Sculptra Aesthetic PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate new collagen production. This is the start of the building blocks to rebuild collagen strands that will support elastin and hyaluronic acid proteins to create the youthful look with all want.
Sculptra® Aesthetic Applications
Although initially FDA approved for facial injections, many physicians use Sculptra to help stimulate collagen in other areas of the body such as for treatment of contour irregularities, cellulite and stretch marks.
