Lipogems®: New Frontiers in the Treatment of Urogenital Atrophy

The study by Casarotti and Tremolada, published in the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences (PMID: 29424920, DOI: 10.26355/eurrev_201801_14211), demonstrated that Lipogems®, through the use of microfragmented autologous adipose tissue, offers a natural and long-lasting regenerative solution for the treatment of postmenopausal urogenital atrophy.

Patients treated showed significant improvement within 6 months, with complete resolution of symptoms by 9 months and sustained benefits for up to 36 months without recurrence. Biopsies confirmed complete regeneration of vaginal tissues, including the restoration of cell vitality, natural pH, and bacterial flora.

Compared to laser therapies, which only act superficially by stimulating collagen production, Lipogems® stands out for its deep and lasting effect. This minimally invasive, outpatient treatment improves lubrication, elasticity, and intimate comfort, offering a safe and effective alternative without the use of hormones.

Lipogems® Gynecology: Intimate Regeneration and Long-Lasting Well-Being

Lipogems® supports regeneration of vaginal and vulvar tissues, significantly improving intimate quality of life. Thanks to the action of mesenchymal stem cells, it enhances sensitivity during sexual intercourse, with full recovery in about two months, and helps combat conditions that cause dryness, pain, and inflammation.

Urogenital Atrophy: Causes and Symptoms

Urogenital atrophy is a degenerative condition that leads to thinning and loss of elasticity in vaginal and urethral tissues, often due to the drop in estrogen levels during menopause. However, it can also affect younger women following hormonal treatments, gynecological surgery, or breastfeeding. Common symptoms include dryness, burning, itching, painful intercourse (dyspareunia), and urinary difficulties, increasing the risk of recurring vaginal and urinary infections.

Lichen Sclerosus: A Chronic and Progressive Condition

Vaginal lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory disorder that affects the skin and vulvar mucosa, causing thinning, loss of elasticity, intense itching, and burning. In advanced cases, it can lead to lesions, scarring, and narrowing of the vaginal opening, making sexual activity and normal intimate function difficult. Although it mainly affects postmenopausal women, it can also appear at a younger age, often due to autoimmune or genetic causes.

Lipogems®: A Regenerative and Non-Invasive Approach

Lipogems® offers a minimally invasive, hormone-free solution ideal for treating vaginal atrophy, dryness, lichen sclerosus, and related symptoms such as burning and pain. Unlike more superficial treatments, this technique uses the regenerative properties of autologous adipose tissue, restoring natural elasticity and hydration in a safe and lasting way. Thanks to its ability to stimulate cellular regeneration and reduce inflammation, it represents an effective option for those seeking to improve intimate comfort and regain well-being in daily life.

Who Can Benefit from Lipogems Gynecological Treatment

Lipogems treatment is indicated for women of all ages experiencing intimate wellness issues. Menopausal women suffering from vaginal dryness and atrophy can find lasting relief without hormone therapy. Cancer patients undergoing treatment or survivors of hormone-dependent tumors who cannot use estrogens. Breastfeeding mothers experiencing temporary but bothersome vaginal dryness. Young women with lichen sclerosus or other autoimmune conditions compromising intimate quality. Post-surgical patients with scars or adhesions causing pain during intercourse.

The Step-by-Step Procedure: What to Expect

Lipogems gynecological treatment follows a precise and gentle protocol. During the initial consultation, a complete evaluation of the issue and expectations is performed. On treatment day, adipose tissue harvesting is performed from a small donor area using a thin cannula. Lipogems processing occurs in a sterile room with the patented system that preserves cellular vitality. Vaginal infiltration is performed with millimetric precision in areas requiring regeneration. Post-treatment includes brief observation and discharge with detailed recovery instructions.

Clinical Results and Patient Satisfaction

Results of Lipogems gynecological treatment are supported by robust scientific evidence and high patient satisfaction. Lubrication improvement: over 85% of patients report significant increase in natural lubrication within 2 months. Pain reduction: dyspareunia decreases dramatically in 90% of treated cases. Tissue quality: control biopsies show epithelial thickening and improved vascularization. Global satisfaction: 92% of patients declare satisfaction and would repeat the treatment. Benefit duration: results remain stable for at least 24-36 months according to long-term follow-ups.

Managing Expectations: Timeline of Improvements

The improvement timeline after Lipogems treatment follows predictable but personalized phases. First 2 weeks: healing period with possible mild discomfort and sexual abstinence recommendation. Weeks 3-4: first improvement signs with reduced dryness and greater comfort. Months 1-2: progressive lubrication improvement and significant pain reduction during intercourse. Months 3-6: result stabilization with complete recovery of tissue elasticity and intimate wellbeing. Long-term follow-up: benefit maintenance with possibility of reinforcement treatments if needed.

Post-Treatment Care and Tips for Optimizing Results

Optimal recovery requires attention to specific post-treatment recommendations. Intimate hygiene: use gentle cleansers with physiological pH to not alter the recovering vaginal balance. Physical activity: avoid intense sports for 2 weeks, favoring light walks. Sexual life: gradual resumption after 3-4 weeks with initial use of natural lubricants if necessary. Scheduled monitoring: follow-up visits at 1, 3, and 6 months to monitor evolution. Nutritional support: diet rich in antioxidants and omega-3 to support tissue regeneration. Stress management: relaxation techniques to favor the natural healing process.

Understanding the Science: Why Lipogems Works

Lipogems success in gynecology stems from its unique regenerative properties. Unlike superficial treatments, Lipogems provides living stem cells and growth factors that actively rebuild tissue architecture. The microfragmented adipose tissue contains mesenchymal stem cells, pericytes, and bioactive molecules that stimulate natural regeneration. Sustained release of growth factors continues for months, providing ongoing tissue improvement. Biocompatibility is perfect since it uses the patient's own tissue, eliminating any risk of rejection or allergic reactions. Minimal invasion means the procedure can be repeated if needed without cumulative damage to tissues.
