MonaLisa Touch™
Many women experience vaginal atrophy, a consequence of lack of the estrogen hormone. Symptoms include vaginal dryness, vaginal burning, and painful intercourse. In treating vaginal atrophy, hormone replacement therapy may not be the best choice, or even an option, for many patients.
At Naperville Women’s Healthcare, we offer the most advanced technology in the treatment of vaginal atrophy, MonaLisa Touch™.
MonaLisa Touch™ is a medical laser that delivers controlled energy to the vaginal tissue to restore the cells in the vaginal mucosa. Restored cells produce more collagen, an essential ingredient in vaginal cell health.
MonaLisa Touch™ implements CO2 laser energy which is delivered through the sides of a probe that is inserted into the vaginal canal. The two-part pulse targets the vagina’s surface and deep tissues, the epithelial and lamina propria tissue, to promote vaginal restoration.
MonaLisa Touch™ provides two types of treatment, internal and external, with treatment times ranging from five to ten minutes. The procedure requires three treatments that are spaced over a twelve-week period.
The internal procedure is virtually painless and requires no anesthesia. With the external procedure, an anesthetic cream is applied to the vulva to ease any discomfort.
Most patients feel improvement after the first treatment and there is minimal recovery time. Intercourse can resume three days after an internal treatment and seven days after an external treatment.
MonaLisa Touch™ is FDA approved and is an in-office procedure. Treatments are provided safely in the comfort of our office.
At Naperville Women’s Healthcare, we are experienced in the physical and emotional implications of patients with vaginal atrophy and we are committed to vaginal restoration.
