Millions of women experience changes to their gynecologic health that affect their personal lives as a consequence. Now there’s a solution! MonaLisa Touch® is a simple, proven laser to help you feel like yourself again.
MonaLisa Touch uses fractional laser technology to ablate small micro-columns of tissue. This leaves an ecosystem of healthy unaffected tissue to support rapid healing.
What to expect during the procedure:
The vaginal canal will be numb. A probe is inserted into the vaginal canal and turned slowly and gently clockwise and counterclockwise as the laser fires, once all the paths have been completed the probe is removed. You may feel some pressure but no pain throughout the treatment. The treatment is about 15 minutes. There is no down time. We will provide post care procedures.
What to expect after:
There shouldn’t be any pain afterwards. You might have a slight discharge. Most have noticed immediate tightening of the vaginal wall and a significant reduction and leakage. Most have reported an increase of sensation during sex, less dryness, PH balance, less UTI’s and bladder issues, decrease in pelvic floor pain. Post care will be given to you.
