Menopause is inevitable and discomforting. Usually, estrogen levels decline at this time and cause hormonal changes that can cause vaginal dryness and other uncomfortable symptoms. Dr. Kalpana Desai offers treatment with MonaLisa Touch to restore your health.
MonaLisa Touch uses laser energy to rejuvenate your vaginal walls. The laser treatment triggers a healing response to increase collagen production and promote vaginal health. Here is an in-depth discussion of how MonaLisa works and its benefits.
What Conditions Can MonaLisa Treat?
Your doctor can recommend MonaLisa Touch if you are experiencing menopause symptoms. During menopause, estrogen levels decrease and cause dryness in your vaginal tissue. Vaginal dryness may cause painful sexual intercourse, vaginal bleeding, frequent UTIs, vaginal irritation, and incontinence.
MonaLisa will help your vaginal tissues to regenerate, enabling them to regain their moist nature. Treatment may also restore lubrication to reduce itchiness and burning. However, MonaLisa Touch may not tighten your vagina and address looseness.
Who Can Get Treatment With MonaLisa Touch?
You make an ideal candidate if you are experiencing symptoms resulting from low estrogen as you transit to menopause. After trying other methods like estrogen therapy and not getting results, you can try MonaLisa Touch. Also, your doctor may recommend this treatment if you cannot take estrogen due to other health conditions.
However, treatment may be wrong if you are pregnant or delivered within the last three months. Also, having STIs, bladder prolapse, and being on anticoagulants may disqualify you from treatment. Talk to your doctor before treatment to learn if you are a candidate.
How Does Treatment Work?
MonaLisa Touch uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) fractional laser. The laser will deliver tiny light beams into the targeted area. Then the tiny laser beams will destroy vaginal tissue and stimulate the regeneration of blood vessels.
The stimulation will lead to increased collagen and elastin production. As a result, your vaginal tissue lining will regenerate and repair itself. Your doctor may treat both your internal vaginal skin and the skin at the opening of the vagina.
Are There Benefits To Treatment With MonaLisa Touch?
After your treatment, you may notice significant improvements in your vaginal moisture. You may also enjoy restored sexual intimacy with improved confidence. You may notice relief with just one treatment.
MonaLisa Touch may be beneficial if you cannot take estrogen treatments due to health reasons. Traditionally, estrogen medications were the only relief for vaginal dryness. But today, you have an option of getting relief from MonaLisa Touch.
What Are The Side Effects Of This Treatment?
You may develop side effects that do not last longer than 36 hours. You may experience irritation, light bleeding, brown vaginal discharge, and swelling. You may also experience a burning sensation whenever you pee.
Meanwhile, you may return to your regular activities after your treatment. You may need to refrain from sexual intercourse for three days. Your discomfort and mild irritation may continue for 24 hours.
As soon as you hit menopause, uncomfortable symptoms begin to set in. Estrogen levels decline and cause vaginal dryness and thinness in your vaginal tissue. Such symptoms may lead to painful sexual intercourse, reduced lubrication, and incontinence.
You can find relief with MonaLisa Touch, a treatment that uses laser energy to rejuvenate your vaginal walls. The laser delivers tiny beams of light, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Your vaginal walls will then regenerate and repair themselves.
