CO2RE Intima is a fractional CO2 laser treatment designed for the external female genital area. The laser delivers controlled energy to the tissue, creating microscopic zones of injury that trigger the body's natural healing response. This process aims to improve tissue texture, tone, and appearance in the vulvovaginal region.

Candidates are typically women seeking to address concerns such as tissue laxity, texture changes, or loss of tone in the external genital area. A qualified provider will assess individual anatomy and concerns during a consultation to determine suitability.

The provider applies topical anesthetic or local anesthesia to the treatment area. The CO2RE Intima handpiece is then used to deliver laser energy across the targeted region. Treatment typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. Sensations vary, but most experience warmth and mild discomfort despite anesthesia.

Most people experience mild redness and swelling immediately after treatment, which typically subsides within a few days. Providers advise avoiding sexual activity, tampon use, and strenuous exercise for a specified period during healing. Wearing loose clothing and keeping the area clean and dry supports recovery.

Visible improvements in texture and tone typically develop gradually over several weeks as the healing process unfolds. Results depend on individual factors such as age, skin quality, and treatment intensity. Follow-up sessions may be recommended for optimal outcomes.
