Mona Lisa Touch
What Is The MonaLisa Touch™?
The MonaLisa Touch is a quick and non-surgical medical procedure that can be beneficial for women dealing with symptoms like vaginal dryness, discomfort, itching, pain during intercourse, or urinary incontinence. It can also serve as a non-invasive option for addressing vaginal symptoms commonly experienced during menopause, providing an alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
How Does The
Mona Lisa Touch Work?
The MonaLisa Touch uses a special fractional CO2 laser to deliver controlled energy to the tissues of the vaginal walls. The laser stimulates the vaginal muscles by creating microscopic injuries in the tissue which triggers a natural healing response in the body.
This helps to increase blood flow, promote collagen production, and improve the overall health of the vaginal walls. The new collagen helps to restore elasticity and hydration to the vaginal tissues, improving their health and function which can alleviate symptoms over time.
What Can I Expect During The Treatment?
During the Treatment
You will lie down while a medical professional inserts a specialised laser probe. The procedure itself is usually painless or minimally uncomfortable, and it typically takes around 5-10 minutes to complete.
After the Treatment
You may experience some mild tingling or warmth in the treated area, but this usually subsides quickly. There is typically no downtime, and you can resume your daily activities immediately, but it’s important to follow any post-treatment instructions.
Following Weeks
You may notice gradual improvements including increased lubrication, reduced dryness, and relief from symptoms such as itching or pain during intercourse. Multiple treatment sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
