How does the Intima laser treat the exterior genitalia?

Question

What kind of improvements can be expected?

Brock Ridenour, MD · Answer

The Intima laser is a fractionated CO2 laser that has been adapted for vaginal rejuvenation. It has two hand-pieces, one for internal treatment of the vagina, and another for non-surgical labiaplasty. The laser works on the external genitalia the same way it works on the face or the neck. The heat from the laser tightens and tones the labia and improves its texture and pigment. Because the skin of the labia is thin, the shrinkage is quite dramatic and the procedure can be very comfortably performed using topical anesthesia. No needles or injections.

The C02RE Intima is a simple, minimally invasive laser procedure that enhances a woman’s intimate wellness both internally and externally – by relieving signs of vaginal aging. The C02RE Intima is an in-office, non-surgical treatment which uses advanced laser energy to treat the changes and symptoms that women may experience related to vaginal wellness or appearance. This procedure stimulates collagen production, which works to improve skin tone, texture and appearance. Intima can also be used to improve urinary incontinence. The delivery of this laser will stimulate an effective healing response, resulting in the remodeling of the tissue fibers. This restores flexibility and shape, while also enhancing moisture levels in the vaginal canal. If you seek vaginal cosmetic improvement and want to feel more confident about your feminine health, then this procedure is for you. There is virtually no downtime with this procedure. You can stop by the office and be on your way after an hour, including prep! You can return to normal activities directly following the procedure but should refrain from sexual activity for 7 days. This procedure requires no anesthesia; however, I will have patients numb the area prior to the treatment for the sake of their comfort. After your first treatment, you will already notice significant results. We recommend a total of 3 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart for maximum results.

The Core Intima is a CO2 laser that can treat both the external genitalia as well as the internal vaginal canal.  It works extremely well and will improve the texture and tone of the labia making it smoother and tighter, as well as addressing and reducing hyperpigmentation or irregularities in pigment on the external genitalia. 
Thanks for the question,
