Feeling comfortable and with no insecurities during intimacy is what makes it an enjoyable experience for all women, and when it comes to feeling pain during the act or vaginal irritation, those who suffer with these situations wish to find a solution for it.
That’s when MonaLisa Touch comes into the scene. A safe laser treatment for vaginal atrophy. At Gearity Wellness Center, our professional team will help you get back the vitality you miss.
Learn About MonaLisa Touch
MonaLisa Touch is a noninvasive laser therapy used to treat vaginal atrophy (also known as genitourinary syndrome of menopause). GSM can be detected because of symptoms such as vaginal dryness and painful sexual intercourse. This treatment can help in making intimacy more comfortable and pleasing.
For those are reluctant to turn to estrogen-based therapies like creams, medications or lubricants and use them as treatment for GSM, this treatment offers a great alternative.
What Does MonaLisa Touch Treat?
This laser treatment usually heals symptoms of GSM, commonly seen during menopause. During this process, estrogen levels go lower, causing the vaginal tissue to feel dry and thin. Other symptoms are:
- Painful intercourse.
- Discomfort and bleeding.
- Constant urinary tract infections (UTIs).
- Urinary incontinence (leaking pee when you sneeze, laugh or cough).
- Vaginal irritation or itchiness.
Who Qualifies for MonaLisa Touch Treatment?
If you identify with any of these, you can be an ideal candidate for this laser treatment:
- Low estrogen symptoms during the transition to your menopause.
- Unsuccessful trials of other methods.
- Having vaginal atrophy symptoms after going through chemotherapy, breast cancer or hysterectomy.
- Being allergic to estrogen due to other health conditions, or not being able to take it due to another treatment.
- Having a lichen sclerosus diagnosis.
MonaLisa Touch Is Not Right for You If…
- You’re pregnant or have given birth in the last three months.
- You have bladder prolapse.
- You have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or other intimate infection.
- You’re taking anticoagulants.
All About The Treatment Process
You’ll probably need up to three to four series of sessions for optimal outcomes. The sessions are scheduled about six weeks apart from each other, and only last from five to ten minutes.
The patients are required to lay down as they would on a pelvic exam and get topical numbing cream applied. During the procedure, the healthcare professional uses the laser inside and outside of the vagina, creating small scratches on the vaginal wall. These stimulate the growth of new blood vessels, boosting the elastin and collagen production, which restores these walls inside of the intimate area.
Post-Procedure
Recovering from the MonaLisa Touch laser therapy is faster than you think. Right after the appointment, you’ll feel a mild irritation and discomfort in your vagina for one to 24 to 36 hours. We recommend appplying ice packs or lubricant. You should also avoid having intercourse for the next three days. Other than this, you may continue with your daily routine as normal.
