IntimaLase Penticton

IntimaLase is a simple, non-surgical laser treatment that is highly effective. During the procedure, an attachment, similar to a speculum used during a PAP test, is inserted into the vagina. The vaginal region is then treated with short laser pulses. The thermal effect on the vaginal mucosa stimulates collagen remodeling and the synthesis of new collagen fibers.

Book an Appointment

The IntimaLase procedure is simple and non-surgical, lasting 15 to 20 minutes with no required downtime following treatment.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized Assessment

You will meet with your physician for an initial consultation, where they will review your health history and goals to determine if you’re a suitable candidate.

Step 2

Review Consent Forms

We’ll walk you through our consent forms and discuss any questions you might have prior to starting your treatment.

Step 3

Begin Treatment

During your procedure, the physician will insert a special attachment into the vagina and begin treatment. While it is usually well-tolerated, some patients may experience discomfort, an intense heat sensation or an itching sensation.

Step 4

After Treatment

There may be some mild swelling and redness immediately after the procedure, as well as a transparent discharge for two to three days. In addition, your physician will review a few restrictions to follow for two weeks after your appointment.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

For most patients, only one procedure is required. At your post-treatment follow-up, your physician will determine if a second treatment may help if you are not experiencing the results you had expected.

Contraindications

We do not offer this treatment to those who are pregnant, have an active infection, or have had an abnormal PAP smear test in the last year.
