What Tri-Free means
A technique that designs with a laser instead of a scalpel and finishes with ultra-fine sutures, easing concerns about bleeding, pain and scarring.
- Laser sculptingit designs with a laser instead of a knife, sculpting rather than cutting.
- Ultra-fine suturesultra-fine, fast-absorbing sutures are used to reduce foreign-body sensation and scarring response.

If you've been wondering about
The range of normal vulvar shapes is wide. We separate a simple difference in shape from everyday, recurring discomfort such as friction, pulling or hygiene.
SCENE 01Friction from underwear and clothing
Shows the recurring discomfort where clothing touches while walking or moving for a long time.
SCENE 02Pulling when sitting or moving
Explains, in terms of concrete actions, the pulling and discomfort that makes you shift position or stop what you are doing.
SCENE 03Recurring hygiene discomfort
Conveys the everyday situation where care still feels cumbersome after a shower, without framing it as a disease.
Stages of labial change
Just as every face is different, the shape of the labia minora varies from person to person and may change over time. Enlargement or asymmetry may develop, followed by wrinkling and darkening; in some cases, these changes may be accompanied by reduced sensation, pain during intercourse, vaginitis or discharge.

The schedule can differ with the extent of surgery and how quickly you personally recover.
Recovery
Day of surgery- Please rest well.
- A burning or aching sensation and a small amount of bleeding at the surgical site can occur.
- Take prescribed medication as directed.
- We recommend not driving yourself and going home with a companion.
1–3 days after- This is when swelling and discomfort may feel strongest.
- Short walks and light daily activity are fine.
- Please avoid sitting for long periods or crossing your legs.
- Wear loose, breathable clothing rather than tight trousers.
- Most people can manage light work and daily activity.
1 week after- Swelling and bruising gradually subside.
- It's still better to avoid long walks, cycling and lower-body workouts.
2–4 weeks after- Everyday activity becomes noticeably more comfortable.
- Start light exercise after your recovery has been checked.
- Please use public baths, saunas and pools only after our medical team confirms it.
4–6 weeks after- Once the wound has settled, exercise and intercourse can be resumed in stages.
- The timing can differ with the extent of surgery and your recovery, so it needs to be confirmed at your visit.
In general, after labiaplasty it is advised to reduce friction, keep the area clean, and avoid intercourse and strenuous exercise for a period of time. The specific length of that period depends on the surgical method and your recovery.
Please keep these in mind after surgery
- Keep the surgical site cleanafter showering, pat the area dry instead of rubbing. Do not use ointments or antiseptics that were not prescribed.
- Reduce friction and pressureavoid tight clothing such as skinny jeans, leggings or shapewear, and wear loose, breathable clothes.
- Don't sit for long stretchesin the early days, change position and take breaks rather than staying seated in one posture.
- Resume exercise and intercourse only once you've recovered enoughavoid activities that press or rub the area, such as running, cycling, horse riding and lower-body strength training.
- Please avoid alcohol and smokingboth can increase swelling and inflammation or slow wound healing.
Fast Recovery Project (aftercare)
We separate cleansing care, tailored aftercare and the follow-up
A tailored aftercare program to support recovery after surgery. It is divided into cleansing and friction care at home, clinic-basedEGFLED light care, and a follow-up check. Care usingEGFLED light supports skin regeneration and eases inflammation.
CARE 01 Tailored aftercare
We connect the prescription and LED aftercare you need, based on your examination.
CARE 02 Follow-up
At the scheduled visit we check your recovery and when you can return to activity.
Results and recovery vary by individual and are not guaranteed. Side effects such as swelling or pain may occur depending on the procedure; details are explained at your visit. All aesthetic procedures are non-covered; whether and how to proceed is decided individually after a specialist consultation.
Frequently asked questions
01How long is recovery after laser labiaplasty?
Recovery varies by individual and the extent of the procedure. In general, light showering is possible from the day after and most people can manage light daily activity and work, with strenuous exercise advised after about 4 weeks and intercourse after about 4–6 weeks. The specific timing depends on the extent of surgery and your recovery, so it needs to be confirmed at your visit.
02Do the sutures have to be removed?
They are removed after 7–10 days depending on the individual, and with absorbable sutures separate removal may not be needed. Which suture material is used is decided after examination and explained at the time of surgery.
03How many follow-up visits are needed?
About 2–3 visits, according to how healing progresses. The final shape settles over about 1–3 months once the major swelling has gone down, and recovery speed varies by individual.
04What should I know before my visit?
It's better to schedule the examination and any procedure outside your period. Please tell us at the consultation about any medication you take or procedures you've had before.
