This is an innovative Carbon Dioxide Laser used for the non-invasive treatment of vulvovaginal conditions like vaginal dryness and itching which usually results from the natural drop in hormone levels at the time of menopause.

 

Each patient requires 3 treatments at 6week intervals.

This is a fractional Carbon dioxide laser that delivers pulsed energy to the collagen layer of the vaginal skin, triggering the production of new fibroblasts and collagen to strengthen and revitalize the vaginal epithelium.

 

At menopause, due to the withdrawal of circulating estrogen, the collagen and elastin in vaginal tissues decline, the lining thins and secretes less lubricating fluid and the secretion becomes more alkaline. These changes lead to painful intercourse, increased risk of infection and urinary symptoms collectively known as genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM).

 

Treatment with MonaLisa Touch restores to a greater degree the integrity of vaginal tissue.  Overall, treatment:

  • Restores normal moisture and lubrication
  • Relieves vaginal burning, itching, and pain
  • Allows couples to resume pleasurable intimacy
  • Suitable for women who cannot use hormones
  • Improves mild to moderate urinary incontinence
  • Relieves urgency, frequency, and recurrent urinary tract infections

 

Each patient requires 3 treatments, each lasting 5 minutes or less, at 6 weekly intervals. Some women will experience symptom relief after the first treatment and even greater relief after the second and third treatments.
