Is the CO2RE Intima laser effective at treating darker skin on the Labia Majora only?

Question

I’m a 33 yo female who has never had children. I am extremely fair skinned but my outer labia is a deep tan-reddish color. I hate how dark it is and I’m wondering if this laser will address my concern. I don’t have any issues other than that.

Thank you for your question. CO2RE Intima is a fractional CO2 laser and the laser may is not very safe in certain skin types. light skin individuals of certain ethnicity, certain medications and underlying medical conditions can cause side effects such as hypo or hyper pigmentation resulting in uneven or patchy pigmentation. One other non laser option which is recently approved in Europe is application of a skin lightening chemical peel.To individualize your treatment obtain a consult with an expert physician.Best WishesDr. Shanthala

Hello. Thanks for your question. The CORE Intima external treatment will help correct and lighten dyschromia (alteration of the color of skin) of the labia. Its an excellent procedure to help rejuvenate and lighten the skin with time. Usually multiple treatments are needed 4-6 weeks apart.

The Intima external treatment will help correct and lighten dyschromia (alteration of the color of skin) of the labia.  After the laser procedure, the body begins to heal itself by making new collagen and blood vessels, which will help lighten and tighten the skin. It consists of 3 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart. The Intima external treatment is a quick in-office procedure with little to no downtime.

Hello! Thank you for your question. Yes, the CO2RE Intima is very effective in treating dyschromia, which is a discoloration of the skin. We have found that treating the external vulvar area with the CO2RE Intima has resolved dyschromia issues for the majority of our patients with this concern. The treatment involves a pass on the external genitalia with the appropriate hand piece. You can expect to feel a bit of heat for a couple of hours post treatment. You will need to avoid swimming, soaking in a tub and hot tubs for seven days. You may find running and vigorous activity uncomfortable during this time.

The darker color on the labia is very common and many women want the labial "lips" to be pink.  The color can darken with pregnancy, birth control pills, or minor trauma.  The Co2re Intima laser gently, and with a minimum of discomfort, revises the tissue, increases circulation, and plumpness and may lighten the skin over a series of treatments.  In my experience, women are very happy with procedure as it not only improves the appearance of the labial tissue, but also improves sensitivity, lubrication, orgasm, and muscle tone.  One of the most dramatic improvements for many women is the decrease in stress....."laugh, cough, sneeze....LEAK"..... incontinence.
