Even with the passage of time, many women still retain their youthful energy and enthusiasm, but post-menopausal changes can affect a woman\u2019s quality of life in unexpected ways. Hormone replacement therapy may not be the best option for some patients. Now there is an alternative therapy that can help millions of women who are silently suffering.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
MonaLisa Touch is a medical laser that delivers controlled energy to the vaginal tissue to revitalize the cells in the vaginal mucosa (vaginal tissue) so that these cells make more collagen, an essential ingredient in vaginal cell health.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
MonaLisa Touch implements CO2 laser energy that is delivered via a side-firing probe inserted into the vaginal canal. A two-part pulse targets surface (epithelial) tissue and deep (lamina propria) tissue to promote vaginal mucosal revitalization.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
The trial assessed the use of CO2 fractional laser therapy on 30 women with vaginal health issues due to natural or induced menopause. All of the patients in the trial were treated with the MonaLisa Touch laser therapy.<\/p>\n
*Women in the study either experienced natural menopause or induced menopause as the result of hysterectomy or drug-induced suppression of ovarian function (chemotherapy, radiations, and anticancer drugs such as Tamoxifen).<\/div><\/div><\/div>
The MonaLisa Touch is an in-office procedure performed by physicians.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
The procedure is virtually painless and requires no anesthesia. Some patients may experience some discomfort the first time the probe is inserted, but the actual treatment is not painful. Many patients report that it feels like a gentle vibration.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Patients receive three treatments, spaced six weeks apart, which each take less than five minutes to perform.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Most patients feel improvement after the very first treatment, although the procedure calls for three treatments that are generally spaced over an\u00a018-week period.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Patients should expect to come back annually for a maintenance treatment.* MonaLisa Touch was first available outside the US where more than 15,000 patients have been treated worldwide.<\/p>\n
*Your doctor will determine with you if follow up treatments are required.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
The MonaLisa Touch is appropriate for any female who has gone through menopause, as well as those who are experiencing post-menopausal symptoms as a result of a hysterectomy or breast cancer treatments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
