Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation
Our approach to laser vaginal rejuvenation
At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, we deliver exceptional care through advanced techniques and personalised treatment plans. Our laser vaginal rejuvenation treatments are tailored to each patient’s unique needs, ensuring optimal outcomes and enhanced intimate wellness.
During your consultation, we take the time to understand your concerns and goals, while providing a supportive environment focused on precision, comfort, and overall wellness.
Using the CO2RE Intima Laser, our expert team safely and effectively revitalises vaginal tissues by delivering precise CO2 laser energy to stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration, improving tightness, lubrication, and overall comfort. At our state-of-the-art clinic, we provide a transformative experience that restores confidence and supports your intimate wellness journey.
How does the CO2RE Intima Laser treatment work?
The CO2RE Intima Laser treatment uses advanced fractional CO2 technology to deliver controlled, precise energy deep into vaginal tissues, creating micro-injuries that activate the body’s natural healing response.
This process stimulates new collagen production and tissue remodelling, enhancing elasticity and restoring tone without affecting surrounding areas.
During the comfortable, 30-minute in-clinic procedure, dual-probe technology treats both internal and external intimate areas. The internal probe delivers 360-degree laser energy to the vaginal walls, promoting tissue regeneration that enhances lubrication and firmness.
The external probe addresses the vulva and introitus, refining tissue quality and appearance.
Clinical studies show the treatment effectively reduces vaginal laxity, dryness, and mild urinary stress incontinence.
With controlled depth and energy settings for patient comfort and safety, most patients experience noticeable improvements within weeks.
How does CO2RE Intima Laser improve intimate symptoms?
With the CO2RE Intima Laser, we can now improve vaginal ageing symptoms without medication or surgery.
By treating vulvovaginal atrophy, the CO2RE Intima Laser rejuvenates the vagina.
Women are, therefore, able to regain their intimate wellness with a painless, non-surgical procedure.
Clinical results show an average shrinkage of 17% in the vaginal canal after a single Intima Laser treatment. In 95% of cases, patients report a noticeable difference, and most women who had the procedure done said that they felt more intense sensation, improved lubrication, and deeper orgasms. Improvements continue for up to 4 weeks after the procedure.
Who is the ideal candidate for non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation?
The ideal candidates for non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation with the CO2RE Intima Laser are individuals looking to address intimate wellness concerns such as:
- Vaginal laxity or reduced tightness
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Mild urinary incontinence
- Pigmentary changes in the vulvar area
- Pain or reduced satisfaction during intimacy
- Postpartum tissue changes or hormonal shifts affecting intimate health
This treatment particularly benefits individuals seeking a non-invasive solution to improve intimate health and restore confidence.
Arrange a consultation with a qualified medical aesthetic specialist to determine if this innovative treatment suits you.
How is non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation performed?
Non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation with the CO2RE Intima Laser is performed through a precise two-step approach in a medical setting.
Following your consultation and candidacy assessment, the procedure begins with the internal treatment phase.
A sterile, single-use laser handpiece is carefully inserted into the vaginal canal, where it delivers fractional CO2 laser energy in a 360-degree pattern. The laser creates controlled micro-injuries at specific depths through multiple passes.
The second phase targets external tissues using a specialised probe designed for the vulvar area and introitus.
The probe delivers precise laser energy in a scanning pattern, creating similar micro-treatment zones across the external tissue.
Throughout both phases, advanced temperature monitoring ensures optimal energy delivery. The entire procedure takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort.
Normal activities can typically be resumed shortly after treatment, though intimate activity should be avoided for 7 days.
What are the benefits of laser vaginal rejuvenation?
Laser vaginal rejuvenation offers numerous benefits, including:
- Enhanced vaginal tightness: Stimulates collagen production, which improves tissue elasticity and firmness.
- Increased natural lubrication: Helps reduce dryness by promoting moisture in the vaginal canal, improving comfort.
- Improved aesthetic appearance: Addresses pigmentary changes and refines skin tone and texture in the vulvar area.
- Reduced discomfort during intimacy: Alleviates pain and enhances overall satisfaction.
- Relief from mild urinary incontinence: Strengthens tissue support around the urethra, helping to manage mild stress incontinence.
These benefits contribute to improved intimate wellness, confidence, and overall comfort.
How long does it take to experience results from laser vaginal rejuvenation?
Many patients experienced results within the first few weeks following the procedure, and virtually all patients experienced symptom relief after the first treatment.
The full effect, however, will be experienced after 3 months following the 3rd treatment.
Treatments are safe and effective, with mild to no discomfort and very little downtime.
Individual results may vary depending on age, lifestyle, and hormonal health. A consultation will help you set realistic expectations based on your unique needs.
How many CO2RE Intima Laser treatments do you need to experience results?
Most patients experience noticeable improvements after just one CO2RE Intima Laser treatment. However, three sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, are typically recommended for optimal results.
During your consultation, your specialist will assess your concerns and discuss the ideal number of treatments for your needs. This ensures the best possible outcome for your intimate wellness journey.
How long does it take to perform the laser vaginal rejuvenation treatment?
A CO2RE Intima Laser treatment typically takes 30 minutes to perform in the clinic.
The procedure is quick and convenient, with minimal discomfort and no downtime, making it an ideal option for those seeking effective, non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation.
How long is the recovery period for laser vaginal rejuvenation?
Laser vaginal rejuvenation with the CO2RE Intima Laser is a non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime.
While most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment, it’s recommended to avoid sexual intercourse, tampons, and strenuous exercise for 7 days post-procedure to allow optimal healing.
Some patients may experience mild swelling, spotting, or sensitivity in the treated area, which typically resolves within 48 – 72 hours.
The rejuvenation process continues over the following weeks, with initial improvements noticeable within 2-3 weeks and optimal results developing after 4-6 weeks as new collagen forms and tissue remodelling occurs.

Is laser vaginal rejuvenation safe?
Yes, laser vaginal rejuvenation is a safe and effective procedure when performed by experienced professionals.
The CO2RE Intima Laser uses advanced technology to stimulate natural tissue regeneration with minimal risk of adverse effects.
However, as with any medical treatment, a thorough consultation with a qualified medical professional is essential to assess your suitability and discuss potential risks or contraindications.
What are the possible risks and complications associated with laser vaginal rejuvenation?
Laser vaginal rejuvenation with the CO2RE Intima Laser is safe when performed by qualified professionals, but as with any medical procedure, there are some potential risks to consider. These include:
- Mild discomfort: Some patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, especially those with vaginal dryness.
- Temporary swelling or redness: It’s common for the treated area to show temporary swelling or redness immediately after the procedure.
- Risk of infection: Although rare, there is a small risk of infection. Prophylactic measures, such as antiviral medication, may be recommended for patients prone to Herpes Zoster outbreaks.
It’s essential to follow all pre-treatment and post-treatment instructions, such as having a routine pap smear and pelvic ultrasound 3 – 6 months before the procedure.
A detailed consultation will help assess your suitability and address any concerns.
Does the CO2RE Intima Laser treatment hurt?
Laser vaginal rejuvenation is generally painless.
Some patients may experience mild discomfort during the insertion of the laser handpiece, particularly if vaginal dryness is present.
However, the procedure is well-tolerated, and discomfort is typically minimal and temporary.

To prepare for your CO2RE Intima Laser treatment, follow these essential guidelines:
- Routine screenings: Ensure you have had a pap smear and pelvic ultrasound within the past 3 – 6 months to rule out any underlying conditions.
- Preventative measures: All patients will be treated prophylactically to prevent the eruption of Herpes Zoster infection. Begin taking the medication two days before your treatment.
- Hair removal: Shave the treatment area the day before your appointment. Do not wax or use chemical hair removers.
- Disclosure of medications: Inform your specialist of any medications or supplements you take to ensure they do not interfere with the procedure.
- Discuss your goals: During your consultation, you must discuss your intimate wellness goals in detail to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Day of the laser vaginal rejuvenation
On the day of your CO2RE Intima Laser treatment, our team will guide you through the process to ensure your comfort.
- Arrival and preparation: You will be welcomed and shown to a private treatment room, where you can change into a gown for the procedure.
- Pre-treatment steps: If this is your first session, you may complete a brief medical questionnaire to confirm details discussed during your consultation. The treatment area will be cleaned and prepped according to medical protocols.
- The procedure: The specialist will gently insert the CO2RE Intima Laser handpiece into the vaginal canal to treat internal tissues. The laser will be rotated in a controlled pattern to ensure complete coverage. An external probe will then be used to target the vulvar area if required.
- Post-treatment care: After the procedure, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and schedule your next treatment session if part of a series.
- Recovery monitoring: Our team will ensure you’re comfortable before you leave and provide contact information should you have any concerns during your recovery period.
After laser vaginal rejuvenation
Following your CO2RE Intima Laser treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity in the treated area, which typically resolves within a day or two. To ensure optimal results, follow these aftercare guidelines:
- Avoid sexual activity: Refrain from sexual activity, tampon use, or any vaginal insertions for seven days to allow proper healing.
- Hygiene care: Clean the area gently with a mild cleanser and water twice daily. Avoid baths, swimming, or jacuzzis until the skin has completely healed.
- Lubrication: You may use a water-based lubricant or recommended soothing ointment, such as Eucerin Aquaphor, to moisturise the area.
- Monitor recovery: If you notice any unusual symptoms, such as excessive swelling or signs of infection, contact your specialist promptly.
Full results will gradually develop over several weeks as collagen production and tissue regeneration enhance the treatment’s effects.
