Are Intima treatments painful?
Answer: Are Intima treatments painful? This procedure requires no anesthesia; however, I will usually have patients numb the outside area prior to the treatment for improved comfort. There is virtually no downtime with this procedure. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and you can return to normal activities directly following the procedure but should refrain from sexual activity for 5-7 days. Most patients will see significant results after the first treatment. We recommend a total of 3 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart for maximum results. It is important to consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon regarding any cosmetic procedure.

Answer: Mild discomfort The internal treatment for the vagina is pain free. The external treatment does have a bit more zip to it; it feels like a light sting associated with some heat which subsides within 2 hours. Patients state the pain associated with external Intima treatment is 3 - 5 on a scale of 0 - 10.

Answer: Is Core Intima painful? Thanks for the question. The internal vaginal treatment with Intima is not painful at all. Most of our patients say they hardly felt it, and describe it as a warm feeling inside. It is a fairly quick treatment lasting only about 15 minutes. The external genital treatment is done only after a topical numbing is applied and that minimizes the pain to a very tolerable level and most people say it was easily tolerable for them. I wouldn't hesitate having the procedure because of worry about pain. Hope that helps. Best of Luck, Dr. Paul Flashner

Answer: Intima treatment can be done with numbing cream Hi. The inside of the vagina is not painful. However if the treatment is being done for vaginal atrophy, the opening may be narrow. In this case, the numbing cream really helps to enter the vaginal canal. Once the treatment is initiated, the treatment is very well tolerated.
