CO2RE Intima: Restore Vaginal Health Without Surgery or Hormones

Some of the core experiences as a woman affect your female organs. Childbirth menopause and aging can negatively impact your vaginal health. 

We have good news. Whether you’re dealing with dryness, pain during sex, laxity, incontinence, or other unwelcome symptoms, don’t accept them as your new normal. You have options to improve your vaginal health without hormones or surgery. 

At Rejuvenation For Her in Weston, Florida, Jean Johnson, MD, specializes in laser vaginal rejuvenation. With options like CO2RE® Intima by Candela®, Dr. Johnson can use sophisticated laser technology to help you reclaim your vaginal wellness. 

What CO2RE Intima can do

CO2RE Intima is a type of vaginal rejuvenation that uses CO2 laser technology. 

The laser works by safely and comfortably heating tissue in your vagina. This heat kickstarts your body’s collagen and elastin production processes. Collagen is the protein that, among other functions, serves as your tissue’s scaffolding. 

By encouraging more collagen and elastin production in the treated area, CO2RE Intima helps tighten your vaginal tissue while supporting its elasticity. 

At the same time, the laser energy encourages improved circulation and sensitivity in the treated area. More blood flow provides more oxygen and nutrients to the tissue which helps to reduce dryness and discomfort with improvement in sensation, performance and overall experience. 

All of this makes CO2RE Intima a helpful option if you’ve been struggling with:

• Dryness
• Laxity
• Urinary incontinence
• A burning sensation
• Pain during intercourse
• Atrophy

Studies have shown that this treatment yields comparable results to hormone therapy. But with CO2RE Intima, you get treatment applied directly where you need it rather than taking a systemic approach. This eliminates the likelihood of body-wide side effects and the increased cancer risk that can occur with hormone replacement therapy. 

That said, CO2RE Intima has its limitations. Some women need more involved treatment to achieve their vaginal wellness goals. But don’t worry, Dr. Johnson can help there too. 

If you’re a good candidate for vaginal surgical rejuvenation, she partners with the team at Gemini OBGYN. Their team offers surgical rejuvenation, and Dr. Johnson can refer you directly to their experienced surgeons. 

What to expect with CO2RE Intima

CO2RE Intima isn’t just effective — it’s also a fast, painless, and convenient treatment option. 

During your appointment, you lie back, and Dr. Johnson applies the laser technology with a specialized handheld device and a wealth of experience in this area. 

There is no need to worry about any recovery period afterward. You can get CO2RE Intima treatment and continue with your day. Slight swelling and  tenderness are common symptoms after the treatment with dissipation in a couple of days.

The only off-limits activities are sex and using tampons. Dr. Johnson will tell you when it’s safe to start those again, usually within a few days. 

Over the following weeks, you’ll notice results as your body generates more collagen and your vaginal tissue benefits from the increased circulation. Dr. Johnson can tailor a treatment plan of  sessions to further improve your vaginal health to meet your desired needs .
