Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Intima Laser And How Does it Work?
The Intima Laser is a non-surgical CO2 laser treatment that uses controlled energy to deliver precise laser energy to both superficial and deep skin layers of the vaginal tissue, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The CO2 laser gently heats the tissue, encouraging natural regeneration that improves tone, elasticity, moisture, and overall vaginal health. The CO2RE device has FDA clearance for a range of gynecological and genitourinary indications.
What Concerns Does the Intima Laser Treat?
This treatment is ideal for addressing symptoms such as vaginal laxity, dryness, itching, mild urinary incontinence, and discomfort during intimacy. The Intima Laser is also effective for gynecological conditions such as vaginal atrophy and genitourinary syndrome of menopause, which can cause painful intercourse and changes in the vaginal walls. It’s especially beneficial for women postpartum or experiencing changes due to menopause. Most patients require two to three CO2RE Intima treatments to achieve optimal results.
Does the Intima Laser treatment hurt?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the treatment, often describing it as a sensation of gentle warmth. A numbing cream may be applied beforehand for added comfort. The CO2RE Intima procedure typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Common side effects include mild swelling, redness, and itching, which generally resolve within a few days.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most patients require two to three CO2RE Intima treatment sessions for optimal results. While many women notice improvement after just one treatment, most patients require two to three treatments approximately one month apart to achieve optimal results. The treatment typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, with sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions may be suggested annually depending on individual needs.
Is There Any Downtime After Treatment?
Most women can resume normal activities immediately after treatment. Patients can return to their normal activities with minimal downtime. However, it’s advised to avoid intercourse or using tampons for about 3–5 days following the procedure. Patients should refrain from sexual activity or sexual intercourse for about 3–5 days to promote healing. Potential risks of the procedure include temporary discomfort, burns, blistering, infection, and scarring.
When Will I See Results?
Many women begin to notice improvements—such as enhanced comfort, moisture, and mild tightening—within a few days to a few weeks after their first session. However, results typically continue to improve over time as collagen production increases, with the most noticeable changes occurring after a series of 2–3 treatments. Everyone’s body responds differently, but most patients report feeling significant benefits within 4–6 weeks.
