Labiaplasty or Non-surgical labia reduction.
What’s the difference?
At Aesthetica Image Centre in Melbourne, we understand that every woman’s needs are unique.
Over the past 20 years, we’ve supported many women who want to feel more comfortable and confident in their own bodies, whether that’s addressing changes after childbirth, ageing, or just how they’ve always felt.
If you’ve been exploring options like labiaplasty or non-surgical labia reduction, you’re not alone. These treatments may help improve comfort, confidence, and wellbeing, but they work in very different ways.
This guide explains those differences clearly, so you can make an informed decision that feels right for you.
Why Do Women Consider Labia Reduction?
Every woman’s story is different. Some seek labia reduction to feel more comfortable in fitted clothing or during exercise. Others wish to address changes following childbirth or simply feel more confident in their intimate wellbeing.
Whether you’re considering a labiaplasty or non-surgical labia reduction path, the motivation is often the same, to restore a sense of comfort, confidence, and ease in your body.
Understanding the Two Pathways
Surgical labiaplasty
Labiaplasty, or labia reduction surgery, is a surgical procedure that carefully reduces or reshapes the inner labia (labia minora).
It’s performed to help relieve discomfort or address concerns such as tissue asymmetry, chaffing, or visibility in clothing.
At Aesthetica, labiaplasty procedures are carried out by qualified, experienced surgeons. The focus is always on safety, privacy, and natural outcomes that align with your goals.
Non-surgical labia reduction
For women who prefer a gentler approach, non-surgical treatments such as radiofrequency (RF) therapy or Pixel microneedling can help tighten and tone the delicate tissue without surgery.
These treatments use controlled energy to stimulate collagen and improve elasticity, often with minimal downtime. While the results are more gradual than surgery, they can be a suitable option for mild to moderate changes.
So many things to consider:)
| Factor | Labiaplasty (Surgical) | Non-Surgical Labia Reduction (RF / Pixel) |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | Surgical refinement of tissue | Gentle tightening using energy-based technology |
| Downtime | Usually 1–2 weeks | Minimal to none |
| Comfort During Treatment | Local anaesthetic and careful aftercare | Warm, tolerable sensation |
| Results Timeline | Once healed | Gradual improvement over a series of sessions |
| Suitability | Moderate–severe tissue concerns | Mild–moderate laxity or tone changes |
