What is Intima Laser? How does it compare to the traditional vaginal rejuvenation treatment?

Thank you for the question.  Intima vaginal rejuvenation is a non-surgical laser treatment that uses fractional CO2.  It's a great option for patients that have mildly loose skin and pigment changes on the external vagina, and internally it helps with dryness, laxity, and stress urinary incontinence.  CO2RE Intima can be used to cosmetically improve the external vagina, but it is much more than a cosmetic improvement as Intima helps patients feel better and can improve the quality of their lives by improving their sexual health, eliminating pain and discomfort with intercourse, reversing the vaginal changes after childbirth and from the hormonal effects during and after menopause.  By traditional vaginal rejuvenation I assume you are referring to vaginoplasty which is a surgical treatment to cosmetically improve the external vagina.  CO2 Intima is much more effective than that, as it can improve the external vaginal appearance, while at the same time restore the integrity and function of the internal vaginal canal, as well as address stress urinary incontinence, non of which will be addressed by traditional vaginoplasty. 
The CO2RE Intima treatment has been a remarkable life changing experience for our patients.  Sometimes it is hard for them to believe how significant and rapid the improvement is given that many of them have suffered with vaginal issues and/or stress urinary incontinence for years.  I hope that helps and I encourage you to seek out an expert provider in your area who can advise you further.
Best of Luck,

Hello BeachieBeauty,Intima is a Fractional CO2 laser for vaginal resurfacing, much like the FemiLift which I introduced to the US and have been using in my practice since 2013. I have both systems in my office and see them both as good options for women with mild symptoms of vaginal relaxation such as looseness and urinary incontinence as well as vaginal atrophy symptoms such as vaginal dryness and urinary frequency. There is no surgery, no pain, no anesthesia, and no downtime.Traditional vaginal rejuvenation refers to surgically correcting vaginal relaxation, often at the time of correcting vaginal prolapse which is a condition covered by most insurance companies. When vaginal changes are more advanced your symptoms may be more severe as well, but not always! I've combined surgical vaginal tightening at the time of vaginal reconstruction for over a decade and am pleased to offer both alternatives.So, which is the right treatment for you? The ONLY way to be certain is to have an evaluation by a reconstructive and cosmetic vaginal surgeon, preferably a fellowship trained urogynecologist, who can counsel you about your best options.Best of luck,Oscar A.
