Mona Lisa Touch is a gynecologic laser treatment that focuses on restoring the health of the vaginal wall. It has been used in Europe since 2012 and was approved for use in the United States by the FDA in 2014. The procedure involves a minimally-invasive intrauterine laser that is inserted into the vagina to apply gentle heat and energy to target areas, stimulating collagen production and increasing blood flow. This helps to improve vaginal atrophy, dryness and other issues caused by menopause or medical treatments such as chemotherapy.
Mona Lisa Touch can help to balance hormone levels, relieve discomfort from dryness and irritation, increase sexual arousal, and reduce symptoms of incontinence. This can be especially beneficial for women who are post-menopausal and have experienced a decrease in hormone production, as the treatment can help to restore balance. Mona Lisa Touch also helps with tissue repair and regeneration, resulting in increased lubrication and improved elasticity of the vaginal wall.
The procedure itself is quick and easy - it typically takes about 5 minutes for each area that needs to be treated. Patients may require multiple treatments - usually 3-5 treatments over the course of 6 months - in order to achieve desired results. During the procedure, patients may experience some discomfort or slight pain while the laser is being used, but this should not last beyond a couple of seconds.
Following treatment, most patients report an increase in sexual arousal and satisfaction, along with an improved overall quality of life. Common side effects include a feeling of fullness, slight discomfort, and mild bleeding after the treatment. However, these should subside within a few days as the laser does its job in regenerating tissue and restoring balance to the vaginal wall.
Overall, Mona Lisa Touch is a great option for women looking to relieve symptoms of menopause or medical treatments such as chemotherapy that can lead to dryness and irritation. The procedure is painless and quick - taking only 5 minutes per area - and offers excellent results with minimal side effects. If you are experiencing any symptoms related to menopause or medical treatments, talk to your doctor about whether Mona Lisa Touch could be right for you.
