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.
