Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation
Having a baby will definitely change your life, but it doesn't have to change your body also! It makes sense that when you become a mother, your first and biggest priority is your child. Especially if you are working, your personal time is running out, but you should not forget that you are also a woman. This is important for your own self-confidence, but also in order to keep the relationship with your husband alive. If you are wondering how celebrity moms bounce back right after giving birth, it is with the Mommy MakeOver Protocol. This protocol includes non-invasive treatments such as the Femilift with the Vaginal Laser, which correct very effectively and mainly bloodlessly the loose vagina, which arises after giving birth. But in addition to women of reproductive age, the Vaginal Laser also helps menopausal women who experience vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence, vaginal atrophy and pain during sexual intercourse.

What is Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation?
This is the most advanced type of Vaginal Resurfacing Laser, capable of completely reconstructing the mucosa of the vagina, restoring its lost firmness. Its comparative advantage over other technologies is that it can act simultaneously on two levels, both superficially, in the outer layer of the mucosa and in its deeper layers, causing an increase in collagen and elastin.
This results in an improvement in the texture and vascularity of the vaginal mucosa at the superficial level, but also tightening of the vagina in the deeper layers. In Derm & Plastic Surgery Clinics, we have the original medical Vaginal Laser Edge One, with state-of-the-art CO2 technology, performed exclusively by Dr Zografou, who is certified in the method.
How does Vaginal Laser work?
The action of the Vaginal Laser is quite interesting. When the Laser is activated, its rays are divided into several microbeams, which when falling on the skin, cause controlled sublimation of the cells of the vaginal mucosa and at the same time, thermal injury to the cells, deeper in the dermis. That way, hundreds of controlled, vertical microinjuries are made with the Laser beams (MZT - Microthermal Treatment Zones), which stimulate the natural healing mechanisms of the mucosa (when it is injured) and the intensive production of fresh collagen begins.

Why Loose Vagina is caused after childbirth?
If we consider that the vagina before childbirth is usually 2-2.5 cm in diameter and a baby's head will pass through there, which is about 10 cm, then we realise that even if the vagina returns to its former diameter, it will certainly never return to 2 cm. So after 1 or 2 normal deliveries, a relaxation in the female vagina is usually observed. Quite often you ask us if this vaginal relaxation is observed, if the woman gives birth by caesarean section. The answer is no! But where exactly does vaginal relaxation cause problems? In many things in a woman's life, as you will see below.
What problems does Loose Vagina cause?
First of all, a loose vagina is more "open" to the entry of microorganisms and is therefore more vulnerable to vaginal infections. Thus, it is not uncommon for women with loose vagina to suffer very frequently from vaginal infections. At the same time, urinary incontinence can occur after childbirth, even in very young
women. Small leakage of urine when laughing or coughing is most likely due to relaxation of the pelvic floor of the vagina after childbirth, which worsens over time.
Also another problem, in women with loose vagina after childbirth, is that the reduced sexual satisfaction they have after childbirth and thus their psychology and self-confidence are significantly affected as well.
Until a few years ago, colpoplasty was the only option for cases with vaginal laxity, as a surgical procedure to reduce the width of the vagina. Nowadays, the Femilift with the Vaginal Laser has replaced many of these surgeries, correcting very effectively and mainly non-surgically cases of small and moderate vaginal laxity.
Causes of Loose Vagina, other than Childbirth
Vaginal Dryness and Vaginal Laser
Vaginal dryness is a fairly common condition in menopausal women due to the reduction in oestrogen levels. Oestrogens are responsible for the continuous production of collagen and elastin that keeps the vaginal walls healthy, elastic and firm and on the other hand for the normal secretions of the vagina, which protect it from irritations and pathogenic microorganisms, as they act as a natural lubricant, making also the sexual intercourse more comfortable.
That's why, during menopause, when oestrogen levels drop dramatically, most women start to feel the annoying symptoms of vaginal dryness. That's why in addition to menopausal women, sometimes younger women may
also experience symptoms of vaginal dryness. The causes may be the washing of the sensitive area with inappropriate products, various conditions such as Sjogren's syndrome, surgical removal of the Bartholin's glands, surgical removal of the ovaries, taking drugs (mainly antidepressants and contraceptives), allergies and frequent vaginal infections.
Women with vaginal dryness begin to notice some differences in the sensation of the vagina, both during urination and during intercourse with difficulty and pain during sex, a condition also known as "dyspareunia".
Treatment of vaginal dryness has always been with topical oestrogen gels and creams, which were used daily or just before intercourse. However, success rates and compliance were low, as pain and dryness returned immediately after the treatment was discontinued. That has increased the need for new, more effective forms of treatment for this specific problem.
Nowadays the Vaginal Laser has replaced all the ineffective forms of treatment used in the past and may require 1-3 treatments, performed in the Clinic, completely painless and at low cost. It is the fastest, safest and most effective treatment for vaginal dryness and is already the treatment of choice for vaginal problems during menopause in many European countries.
Each treatment lasts 15-20 minutes and is 4-6 weeks apart. That way, the annoying burning sensation and vaginal dryness disappear for at least 12-18 months. The success of the treatment is guaranteed, while the duration of the results is based on the patient's age and overall condition.
Vaginal Atrophy and Vaginal Laser
As we mentioned, vaginal atrophy and dryness are caused by a drop in oestrogen levels, as oestrogen keeps the vaginal mucosa healthy, hydrated and elastic. This happens mainly in menopausal women, but sometimes the discomfort starts years before (premenopause) and in others it appears several years after its onset.
A drop in oestrogen is also observed during breastfeeding, removal of the ovaries and during treatment of breast or ovarian cancer (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy). When oestrogen levels are low, vaginal tissue becomes thin, dry and atrophic. Symptoms can be mild to severe and these are: vaginal dryness, vaginal itching and burning sensation, vaginal irritation and pain during sexual intercourse, frequent microbleeds and vaginal infections.
The treatment of vaginal atrophy has always been medical with topical oestrogen gels and creams, which were used daily or before intercourse. However, success rates were low, as pain and dryness returned immediately after treatment was discontinued, increasing the need for new, more effective forms of treatment.
Now the Vaginal Laser has replaced all ineffective forms of treatment that were used in the past and may require from 1-3 treatments, performed at the office level, completely painless and at low cost and is the fastest, safest and most effective treatment of vaginal atrophy. Each treatment lasts 15-20 minutes and is 4-6 weeks apart. In this way, the annoying burning and vaginal irritation disappear for at least 12-18 months. The success of the treatment is guaranteed, while the duration of the results is based on the patient's age and overall condition.
Urinary Incontinence and Vaginal Laser
Urine leakage can occur for various reasons, but the most common cause is the relaxation of the pelvic floor and the vaginal wall. The most common form is stress urinary incontinence and 3 out of 10 women experience this incontinence (stress urinary incontinence) in their daily activities, when they cough or sneeze or even when they laugh.
Urinary incontinence in women is not exclusively related to ageing as many believe, but also to the relaxation of the vaginal walls which can no longer support the overlying wall of the bladder - urethra and this makes a woman's daily life difficult on multiple levels. Urinary incontinence is diagnosed with a urodynamic test, which assesses the extent of urine loss and identifies the type of incontinence, although the most common type is stress urinary incontinence. Until now, for urinary incontinence, surgery has been the only option for these women (even in cases of minor or moderate incontinence).
This surgery is done through a small incision in the vagina to place a supportive polypropylene tape under the urethra to strengthen it and that helps with the urinary incontinence. Now 7 out of 10 cases of urinary incontinence can be treated with the Vaginal Laser, which is an ideal treatment for mild to moderate incontinence. Its comparative advantage over surgery is that it is bloodless and more economical. It works by causing an increase in collagen and elastin and an increase in the tightening of the area.
This results in an improvement in the texture and vascularity in the area of the urethra and subsequently in the restoration of normality in a woman's life. Depending on the degree and severity of incontinence, 1 to 3 treatments are required to fully restore a normal urination. The duration of the effect of this treatment varies from 1.5 to 2 years, depending on the anatomy and the quality of the patient's tissues, a period which can be significantly extended with maintenance treatments.

The laser treatment that improves sexual life and restores vaginal problems
Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Step by Step
Medical History - Problem Assessment
Preparing the Vagina
Preparation for the Vaginal Laser begins with thorough cleaning and sterilisation of the vulva and the vagina. An anaesthetic cream is then applied, so that any discomfort is reduced to a minimum and the application is completely tolerable. After 20 minutes, the area is ready for the Laser, the anaesthetic cream is removed and the skin is cleaned again.
Laser Application
The intensity of the Laser is adjusted by the Doctor, depending on your problem and the purpose of the treatment. Once all the necessary device settings are made, the scanning of the vaginal mucosa begins. The important thing is that you feel absolutely nothing and no discomfort during the Laser application
Post-Treatment Instructions
After the treatment is completed, special moisturising and regenerating creams are applied in order to reduce the irritation that has been caused. The session ends with the instructions that will be given in detail by the Doctor of our Clinics, so that you get the maximum possible results after your treatment.
Everything you need to know about the Vaginal Laser
Instructions before the Vaginal Laser
If you use oestrogen creams for topical application inside the vagina, you should not use them for the last 5 - 7 days before your treatment.
Sexual intercourse should be avoided 2-3 days prior to treatment, due to the risk of irritation, injuries and vaginal infections.
A Pap Test should have been performed 2-4 weeks before the treatment, so that the possibility of malignancy and malformations of the cervix should have been ruled out.
Instructions after the Vaginal Laser
Frequent moisturising with special vaginal moisturising gels of the vaginal area is necessary for faster healing of the mucous membrane (at least four times a day, for a week).
Finally, avoid intense physical exercise, sauna and swimming either in the sea or in a pool for about 1 week after the treatment.
Also, it is important to use clean underwear (cotton and not synthetic ones to avoid irritation) after the treatment and to change the underwear twice a day, to avoid causing infection due to the existing microbes.
You should also avoid sexual intercourse for 1 week after each session.
You should wash the genital area with a mild special cleansing product with neutral pH from the very first day of your treatment and you should be careful not to rub the skin in the treated area vigorously. Avoid vaginal douching completely for about 10 days and tap dry your skin with a clean towel.

Myths & Truths about Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation
Myth: One session is enough to restore the original structure of the vagina
Truth: In Derm & Plastic Surgery Clinics, the fact is that the treatments are done with the original Vaginal Laser machine and therefore even with the first session you can see an impressive difference in the treated area. But you should not forget that every person is different, so not all women respond the same to the treatment. For example age plays an important role in the number of sessions required. An older woman may need more sessions than a younger woman, due to the reduced production of collagen in her body.
Truth: The application of this Laser is completely painless and the woman does not feel the slightest discomfort during the application of this Laser. The mucosa of the vagina is not burned, but when the laser is activated, its rays are divided into several microbeams. That way, hundreds of controlled, vertical microinjuries are made with the Laser beams (MZT - Microthermal Treatment Zones), which stimulate the natural healing mechanisms of the mucosa (when it is injured) and the intensive production of fresh collagen begins, which create a new healthy and thicker mucosa, without burning it.
Myth: All devices which are called Vaginal Lasers are genuine
Truth: Even in the field of Medicine you should keep in mind that whatever shines is not always gold. There are not a few cases of centers, where their cheap imitations are presented as medical lasers. That’s why you should be very careful in choosing a Clinic and a Doctor for this procedure, primarily for your safety and health and then for your time and money.
Frequent Questions about Vaginal Laser
In Derm & Plastic Surgery Clinics, we only use the original Vaginal Laser device and this treatment is done exclusively by the certified and qualified Dr.Zografou, who has performed hundreds of Vaginal Laser treatments in Greece and England with excellent results.
Due to the action of this Laser, which reaches the deeper layers of the mucosa, stimulating the fibroblasts for the production of collagen and elastin, the Vaginal Laser continues to work, even after the end of each session. The production of elastin and collagen continues for the next 3-4 months and after each session the results are cumulative. Gradually the vagina becomes firmer and the dryness is reduced. If the 3 initial sessions are completed within 6 months and then you continue with one maintenance session per year, then the result will last for years, without symptoms and without the need for surgery
The answer to this particular question is purely individualised. You should definitely remember that every body is different and various factors such as age play an important role in the exact number of sessions you will need. For example, an older woman may need more sessions than a younger woman, due to the reduced production of collagen and elastin due to her age.
