A non-invasive laser treatment for vaginal health
MonaLisa Touch
MonaLisa Touch is a type of laser therapy used to treat symptoms of vaginal atrophy, a common condition that occurs during menopause. Vaginal atrophy is characterized by thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls, often resulting in symptoms such as vaginal dryness, itching, burning, painful intercourse, and urinary symptoms.
The MonaLisa Touch procedure involves using a fractional CO2 laser to deliver controlled energy to the vaginal tissues. This stimulates the production of collagen and improves blood flow to the vaginal area, resulting in the rejuvenation of the vaginal lining and improvement of symptoms.
The procedure is typically performed in a doctor's office and does not require anaesthesia. It is minimally invasive and usually takes only a few minutes to complete. Most women require three treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results, although this can vary depending on individual needs.
MonaLisa Touch has been shown to be effective in relieving symptoms of vaginal atrophy and improving overall vaginal health. Many women experience significant improvements in vaginal dryness, discomfort during intercourse, and urinary symptoms after undergoing the treatment.
Overall, MonaLisa Touch can be a valuable option for women seeking relief from the symptoms of vaginal atrophy, especially those who are unable or unwilling to use hormonal therapies such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT). As with any medical procedure, it's essential to discuss the potential risks and benefits with a healthcare provider to determine if MonaLisa Touch is the right option for you.
