MonaLisa Touch
MonaLisa Touch Q & A
What is MonaLisa Touch?
MonaLisa Touch is a state-of-the-art laser procedure that helps treat delicate vaginal tissue. During a session, a sterile vaginal probe that emits laser energy is applied to the external and internal vaginal wall. The energy stimulates your body to produce more collagen and elastin, which are skin-strengthening compounds, to help revitalize the area. The treatment also stimulates blood vessels in the area to boost circulation and, subsequently, vaginal health.
Who is a candidate for MonaLisa Touch?
Women suffering vaginal discomfort, especially those going through menopause or who’ve recently given birth, benefit from MonaLisa Touch. Symptoms that can be addressed with the laser treatment include:
- Vaginal dryness
- Vaginal itching and burning
- Mild urinary incontinence
- Painful intercourse
If you experience any of these symptoms, contact The Women’s Center to find out if MonaLisa Touch is for you.
Is there downtime following a MonaLisa Touch session?
You can go right back to your regular activities following a MonaLisa Touch session. You don’t need to take time off work or forgo other obligations. The doctors will ask you to not place anything into your vagina, such as a tampon, or have sexual intercourse for about three days after treatment.
How many sessions of MonaLisa Touch do I need?
You may see results after just one session. Optimal results are evident after three sessions spaced about six weeks apart. You may also appreciate a yearly maintenance treatment following the initial course.
When will I see results from MonaLisa Touch?
You experience results almost immediately. Most patients find notable changes in their vaginal health only a week after treatment. You continue to see further benefits as time passes and as you receive subsequent treatments.
Does MonaLisa Touch hurt?
The treatment is completely comfortable and a session lasts just five minutes. You may feel a vibration during the session, but no anesthesia is required. Some women opt for a topical numbing cream for the outer vaginal area prior to treatment because of increased sensitivity in that area.
If you’re a woman suffering from uncomfortable vaginal symptoms, contact The Women’s Center by phone or online to learn how MonaLisa Touch can offer welcome relief.
