What is IntimaLase®?

IntimaLase® is a unique, patent-pending Er:YAG laser therapy for incisionless, non-invasive photothermal tightening of the vaginal canal. Clinical studies have shown that IntimaLase is an efficient, easy-to-perform, and safe procedure.

The indication for IntimaLase is vaginal relaxation syndrome, which is the loss of the optimum structural form of the vagina. This condition is generally associated with overstretching of the vaginal canal during childbirth as well as with natural aging.

How does IntimaLase® work?

• Fotona’s 2940 nm Er:YAG non-ablative laser with proprietary “Smooth-mode” technology thermally affects the vaginal tissue, stimulating collagen remodeling and the synthesis of new collagen fibers in the vaginal mucosa tissue and collagen-rich endopelvic fascia.
• The final result of collagen neogenesis and remodeling is tightening of the vaginal canal.

Unique advantages of IntimaLase® for your patients

As a non-ablative, minimally invasive procedure with Er:YAG, IntimaLase™ also represents a safer, faster and more patient-friendly solution that avoids the undesirable complications present with other vaginal tightening methods.

Clinical results show a tightened vaginal canal, greater sexual satisfaction and significant improvement in a patient’s quality of life.

Usually two sessions are recommended. No special pre-op preparation or post-op precautions are necessary. Patients can immediately return to their normal everyday activities.

Exceptional clinical results

The latest scientific results (see the Library tab) clearly show great improvements in vaginal tightness and sexual gratification.

• 95% assessed the change of their vaginal tightness as strongly or moderately improved after IntimaLase treatment.
• Average shrinkage of vaginal canal after IntimaLase treatment was 17%.
• High level of patient satisfaction (97%).

Clinical results prove that the fast and easy-to-perform IntimaLase treatment is an effective, non-invasive procedure with no undesired side effects or contraindications.

Getting started with IntimaLase®

Training in IntimaLase is provided through the Laser and Health Academy* as a stand-alone training workshop under the guidance of experts in medical laser technology. The extensive workshop, where participants engage in live demonstrations and gain an in-depth understanding of laser physics and laser-tissue interaction, will provide the needed insight into the fundamentals of the IntimaLase treatment and other procedures that can be performed with this special Er:YAG laser system.

Testimonials

“Following a global evolution toward minimally-invasive and patient-friendly procedures, a new protocol for vaginal tightening “Intimalase” has been developed that can provide patient vaginal rejuvenation, avoiding undesirable complications that are present in more invasive treatment alternatives such as CO2 laser.”

"As an experienced gynecologist with more than 30 years of practice, I felt really excited when I was introduced to this novel, extremely innovative laser technology for the treatment of Vaginal Relaxation Syndrome. After doing the procedure for one year I can say that IntimaLase is a great solution for vaginal tightening. Many of my patients highly praise the therapy for its minimal invasiveness and noticeable improvements in their sexual gratification. For me this is a simple, safe and efficacious procedure which enabled me to broaden the range of aesthetic gynecological therapies our clinic offers."
