In the evolving field of regenerative aesthetics, intimate health is emerging from the shadows of clinical conversation. While itching, dryness, and laxity in the vulvo-vaginal area are among the most under-reported symptoms in aesthetic consultations, they are neither rare nor trivial.
Now, clinical research is making it clear: regenerative treatments like NewGyn® offer a safe, evidence-based solution to a highly prevalent – and underserved – patient need.
Why vulvo-vaginal ageing demands attention
Vulvo-vaginal atrophy (VVA), also described as Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), affects nearly half of postmenopausal women within five years of menopause.
Despite this, approximately 50% of women never receive treatment, and those who do often rely on temporary over-the-counter solutions like lubricants or moisturisers. This leaves a significant care gap – a gap that NewGyn® is poised to fill.
The research: biorevitalisation with Polynucleotides HPT® and HA
A 2019 prospective cohort study by Palmieri and Raichi explored the use of Polynucleotides HPT® and hyaluronic acid in a sequential injectable protocol for postmenopausal labial tissue regeneration.
Study methods:
- Participants: 19 postmenopausal women (natural or surgical menopause), aged 50-65, all with confirmed vulvovaginal atrophy and symptoms for at least one year.
- Treatment protocol:
- 3 ‘priming’ sessions using 40mg/2ml Polynucleotides HPT®
- 2 ‘consolidation’ sessions with 40mg/2ml of hyaluronic acid
- Treatments were spaced 2-3 weeks apart, with topical lidocaine used for comfort.
- Evaluation: Symptoms were assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) at baseline and at multiple time points up to 90 days.
Key results: rapid, meaningful symptom relief
By day 90, symptom scores dropped by 59–76% across all major indicators:
| Symptom | Improvement vs. Baseline |
| Itching | –76.3% |
| Soreness/Tingling | –70.1% |
| Vaginal Dryness | –59.1% |
| Dyspareunia (Pain with sex) | –59.4% |
| Irritation | –54.0% |
Notably, most patients reported significant symptom relief after just two sessions of Polynucleotides HPT®, suggesting rapid onset of action. Improvements continued and deepened after HA consolidation treatments.
Mechanism of action: why the combination works
The clinical rationale for the Polynucleotides HPT® + HA protocol is rooted in their synergistic regenerative effects:
- Polynucleotides HPT activate fibroblast function, enhance collagen/elastin production, and improve extracellular matrix quality. The authors also suggest that the rapid improvement in soreness and tingling may point to a potential neuroprotective or neurotrophic effect of polynucleotides – though this remains speculative and warrants further research.
- Hyaluronic acid delivers deep hydration, supports fibroblast trophism, and helps restore mucosal turgor and elasticity.
This combined action mirrors protocols already well-established in facial biorevitalisation – now proven effective in vulvo-vaginal tissues as well.
Safety, compliance and satisfaction
- No adverse events were reported during the study period.
- 100% of participants completed the protocol.
- All women expressed satisfaction with both symptom relief and aesthetic outcomes.
The study’s authors concluded that “both the documented bio-reactivating properties of polynucleotides in the skin and their synergy with hyaluronic acid might also be expressed in postmenopausal vulvovaginal tissues” – an assertion supported by rapid, consistent improvements and high tolerability.
Bringing evidence-based intimate aesthetics into your practice
With its well-documented safety and efficacy, NewGyn® offers aesthetic practitioners a powerful new tool for addressing intimate ageing – without the risks or controversies of hormone-based therapies.
For patients seeking non-hormonal, clinically validated relief from vulvovaginal discomfort, NewGyn® delivers measurable results in a matter of weeks.
