What is MonaLisa Touch?
MonaLisa Touch® is a simple, safe, clinically proven laser treatment for the painful symptoms associated with menopause. This in-office procedure takes about five minutes and usually requires two additional follow-up treatments, each about six weeks apart. With minimal side effects and no downtime, you can get right back to your daily activities after treatment.
Many women report symptom relief after the first treatment with increased improvement after each subsequent treatment. Your practitioner at Susquehanna OB/GYN Nurse and Midwifery may recommend an annual follow-up after your initial three treatments.
Who needs MonaLisa Touch?
About 50% of post-menopausal women suffer from painful symptoms, including:
- Vaginal dryness
- Itching
- Burning
- Vaginal atrophy
- Discomfort during intimacy
- Urinary complications
Over 90% of women also experience vaginal laxity (looseness), making intercourse less satisfying.
Traditionally, the course of treatment for these uncomfortable symptoms is hormone replacement therapy. However, many women can’t take hormone replacements due to a family history of breast cancer or other medical conditions that make estrogen replacement dangerous. Also, some women find the side effects challenging, such as bloating, weight gain, and mood swings.
For these women or anyone seeking a non-hormonal treatment, MonaLisa Touch provides symptom relief without side effects or the need for medication. Women with changes in vaginal health due to hysterectomy and breast cancer treatments might also consider treatment with MonaLisa Touch.
How does MonaLisa Touch work?
During treatment, your practitioner inserts a vaginal probe into your vagina that delivers gentle, virtually painless laser energy to the vaginal walls. This CO2 laser energy promotes collagen production, resulting in new, stronger vaginal walls and tissue.
The vaginal walls and tissue become more nourished and hydrated, and the inner lining of your vagina becomes thicker, more toned, and elastic. This process helps alleviate symptoms of dryness and looseness in the vaginal canal. It also helps reduce the risk of infection by maintaining the correct vaginal pH.
If you have concerning menopausal symptoms, discuss them with the team at Susquehanna OB/GYN Nurse and Midwifery and find out if MonaLisa Touch could work for you. The caring practitioners will always take the time to answer any questions you may have. Call our Bel Air or Havre de Grace office or make an appointment online for a consultation and get the relief you need as quickly and painlessly as possible.
