Here’s a fact that might surprise you—75% of women will experience some kind of vaginal discomfort at some point in their lives. It happens for a ton of reasons: childbirth, aging, hormonal changes. The Intima Laser preparation is one solution that’s making waves, offering a quick, non-invasive treatment to tackle issues like dryness and discomfort. 

If you’ve been considering it, there are a few simple steps you should follow to make the most of your session. Let’s break it down in a way that’s easy and, dare we say, actually helpful.

What Is Intima Laser and How Does It Work?

The Intima Laser is a non-surgical treatment that uses laser energy to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. Think of it as giving your vaginal tissue a refresh. The whole thing only takes about 15 to 30 minutes, and there’s almost no downtime.

You could book it between errands and still go about your day afterward. But while the procedure is simple, a little prep goes a long way to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Why Bother with Preparation?

Let’s be honest—prepping for anything medical can feel like a chore, but it’s worth it. Getting ready ahead of time helps ensure your body responds well to the treatment. A few small steps—like staying hydrated or ditching harsh products—can make all the difference in how comfortable and effective the procedure is.

How to Get Ready for Your Intima Laser Preparation Session

Here’s what you can do in the days leading up to your appointment to set yourself up for success.

Talk to Your Doctor

First up, make sure to have a chat with your doctor. Be upfront about any medications you’re taking (especially blood thinners) and let them know if you’ve had any other treatments done in that area. This is also a good time to mention any allergies, so your practitioner can make sure everything’s safe for you.

  • Medications: Some meds might need to be paused beforehand, so it’s important to ask.
  • Allergies: Make sure to let them know about any sensitivities—no surprises, right?

Hydrate Like You Mean It

Hydration isn’t just good for your skin—it’s essential for this treatment. Drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your session helps your skin (and vaginal tissue) stay plump and responsive. Aim for about 8 glasses of water each day, and your body will be in great shape for the laser.

  • Make sure you’re drinking enough water for at least 3 days before the session.
  • Cut back on coffee and soda—they can dehydrate you.

Avoid Harsh Products

For 48 hours before your appointment, steer clear of anything that could irritate your skin. That means skipping strong soaps, creams, or lotions in your intimate area. You want to keep things as calm as possible leading up to the treatment.

  • Don’t shave or wax the area just before your appointment—it’ll make your skin more sensitive.
  • Skip any vaginal treatments or douching—let your body’s natural balance do its thing.

On the Day of Your Treatment

Now that you’ve prepped, let’s talk about the day of your appointment. A few simple tips will keep everything smooth and stress-free.

Dress for Comfort

Loose, breathable clothing is your best bet for the day. Tight jeans or synthetic fabrics can cause irritation after the procedure, so stick to cotton underwear and something easy-going, like a flowy skirt or loose pants.

  • Consider bringing a panty liner for light discharge after the treatment—it’s rare, but it can happen.
  • Tight clothes? Save them for another day. Your skin will thank you!

Relax and Breathe

Feeling a little nervous? That’s normal, but don’t worry—this procedure is generally pain-free. Most women describe it as a warm sensation, and it’s over before you know it. If you’re feeling antsy, try some deep breathing or listen to music. 

You’ll be in and out in no time!

Post-Treatment: What’s Next?

The good news is there’s almost no downtime after Intima Laser, but following a few easy aftercare steps will make recovery even smoother. Here’s what to expect.

Take It Easy for a Couple of Days

There’s no need for total rest, but you’ll want to avoid strenuous activities for 24-48 hours. This means no heavy lifting or intense exercise. Gentle walking is fine and can even help with circulation, but anything that puts pressure on the area should wait.

  • Light activity like walking? Go for it.
  • High-intensity workouts? Give it a few days before getting back to those.

Hold Off on Intimacy

For about 1 week after your treatment, you’ll want to avoid sexual activity. This gives the treated area time to heal and ensures the best results from your session.

Keep the Area Clean and Dry

You’ll want to keep things clean, but be gentle. Use mild, unscented soap and warm water to wash the area, and pat dry afterward—no harsh scrubbing. Avoid hot baths and swimming pools for a few days, as they can irritate the area.

  • Stick to showers instead of baths for at least 48 hours.
  • Avoid scented or harsh soaps, which can irritate the skin.

How Long Will the Results Last?

The big question—how long will the results last? It varies from person to person, but many women notice improvements after just one treatment. Results can last several months to over a year, depending on your body and lifestyle. 

Some women opt for maintenance treatments, but your doctor will help figure out what works best for you.
