Desirial – a non-surgical solution to vaginal dryness

It’s thought that 1 in 2 women over 55 are suffering from vaginal dryness. The reasons vary from the drop in oestrogen levels during menopause to hormonal and cancer treatments. Much like our facial skin, the vagina, vulva and labia majora, lose hyaluronic acid and collagen as we age, making the tissues less hydrated, thinner, and more susceptible to dryness and irritation.

Vaginal dryness can impact every aspect of a woman’s life, sexual intercourse can be painful, she may experience a burning sensation, irritation and itching. This in turn disrupts sleep and physical activity.

How can I stop vaginal dryness and laxity without surgery?

If you are looking for a longer term solution to the temporary relief from over-the-counter lubricants, Desirial is the answer.

Created to offer hydration and relief for up to 12 months, Desirial is formulated with non-animal hyaluronic acid – a substance that is naturally occurring in our bodies. Desirial can be injected into vulvo-vaginal area and the labia majora to restore hydration and improve tonicity to the tissues. The treatment when injected directly into the vestibular and vaginal mucous membrane, soothes irritation, and restores tone and tension of the connective tissue.

Desirial is an ideal solution to women’s intimate health and wellbeing. We asked Dr Hala why he recommends Desirial for replenishing intimate hydration in women over 50.

Why do you choose Desirial?

It’s a quick easy solution and easy for patients to maintain. Patients are numbed with gel, and treatment is a series of small injections with a thin needle. My patient satisfaction with Desirial is extremely good and hydration in the vaginal mucous is improved significantly. The treatment is safe, and the product is formulated with the main ingredient being hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule in our bodies. What I like about Desirial is that it is CE approved and indicated so I know my patients have a product that is safe as well as effective.

What have been some outstanding results using Desirial?

Results can last up to 12 months, and I have had patients come in and say this has changed their lives. Recently I had a lady going through menopause and taking tamoxifen, the dryness and itchiness was causing severe discomfort and disturbing her sleep. After the treatment she told me she was so relieved to be able to walk without itching and sleep a full night without discomfort, her only regret was that she hadn’t done the treatment sooner!

Who is the likely patient for Desirial?

It’s important to note vaginal dryness can happen to anyone, after childbirth, menopause, hormone therapy and chemotherapy, to name a few examples. But did you know 1 in 2 women over the age of 55 suffer from vaginal discomfort which can affect their sex life, and even daily life? These women are the ideal patients and will see results that really improve their quality of life.
