The Change: Stomach Pooch
One of the most common body changes after pregnancy is to have excess weight and skin in the adnominal region. For some women this stomach pooch seems to disappear quickly with time. With others this stomach pooch can be far more difficult to remove. In fact it can seem as if it is almost impossible. This excess weight may actually be due to the loosening of the adnominal muscle layers. Medically this condition is known as diastasis recti, and may also be accompanied with excess skin on the stomach. Luckily, we offer a non-invasive treatment to help you lose your stomach pooch for good!

The Change: Vaginal Looseness and Incontinence
Having children tends to change couples sex lives in many ways. One way it can change your sex life is by changing the way it feels for you and your partner when you have sex. After delivering a baby the vaginal muscles get stretched. This can cause body changes after pregnancy such as vaginal looseness, incontinence (bladder leakage), dryness and pain during intercourse, trouble reaching orgasm, and an unappealing outer appearance of the vagina. All of these problems can be fixed with one easy treatment.
The Fix: Non-Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation like ThermiVa
One option to fix all of the conditions above is by receiving non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation, also known as ThermiVa. Treatments use radiofrequency energy to gently heat tissue to reclaim, restore and revive feminine wellness, without discomfort or downtime. ThermiVa uses a special wand applicator which is applied externally to labia and vulvar tissues to restore normal tissue tone and function. This treatment can help treat vaginal looseness, the outer appearance of the vagina, problems making it to the bathroom, pain or discomfort during sex, and lack of pleasure during sex.

The Change: Sagging Breasts
When you’re pregnant your breasts tend to grow and plump up. However, after pregnancy many women experience lowering and sagging with their breasts. This is especially so if you breast feed. These changes are a result of the body’s natural response to fluctuations in the volume of breast tissue due to milk production. Additionally, nursing can stretch the breast skin and tissue creating sagging, and disproportionate shaping.
The Fix: Non-Surgical Breast Lift also known as ThermiTight Breast
Here at WellMedica we offer a treatment to lift sagging breasts, which is non-surgical and leaves no incision. This is called ThermiTight Breast and it is a procedure that uses a small catheter to emit radio frequency underneath the skin to heat it, which tightens the skin and makes it smoother.

The Change: Stretch Marks and Cellulite
Body changes after pregnancy are inevitable for some, and this can be especially so when it comes to stretch marks and cellulite. When the body expands you can develop stretch marks, and this is extremely likely when you are pregnant and your body is expanding so rapidly. There is also a greater likelihood the body will form cellulite, and become rippled after all the changes it went through with pregnancy. Therefore, many mothers seek out treatments in order to fix these skin issues.
The Fix: Venus Freeze Legacy
Venus Freeze and Venus Legacy treatments are suitable for various face and body applications including circumference reduction, skin and wrinkle tightening, stretch mark removal, and cellulite reduction. Treatments are safe, quick and effective for all skin types. Treatments utilize Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields, to produce a soothing and therapeutic heat matrix over the skin which provides the added benefits of increased nutrients, oxygen and blood to the skin – giving an immediate, long lasting glow.

The Change: Hair Loss
Most women expect body changes after pregnancy, however many do not expect to lose their hair. Unfortunately, this is a common side effect of pregnancy. These issues are due to hormonal changes, and tend to be temporary for a majority of women. Luckily, there is a great solution for this condition that is easy and painless offered at WellMedica.
The Fix: Laser Therapy
Low level laser therapy is a safe form of light/heat treatment for a variety of health indications. It treats all types of hair loss common in men and women. Under the care of a Board Certified Cosmetic Laser Surgeon like Dr. Dima or qualified practitioner, cold laser therapy is considered safe. Also it’s non-invasive, painless, and there’s no need for medication or other preparation. To learn more about Low Level Laser Therapy for hair loss after pregnancy click here.

The Change: Varicose and Spider Veins
Some women never experience varicose or spider veins until after pregnancy body changes. Often these veins are a blue and red color, and are visible through the skin. They typically appear as dilated and bulging vessels which are raised above the surface of the skin. Visible veins can often leave many new mothers feeling self-conscious, and embarrassed.
The Fix: Vein Treatments like Sclerotherapy
If you are looking to fix visible varicose or spider veins a great treatment option is Sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy is a popular method of eliminating varicose veins and superficial telangiectasias (“spider veins”) in which Dr. Dima administers a solution, called a “sclerosing agent,” and injections it into the veins causing them to collapse.
