Vaginal atrophy is a condition that thins and dries out the vaginal walls. It is most commonly seen among menopausal and postpartum women. Symptoms include vaginal burning and dryness, urinary incontinence, genital itching, and discomfort during intercourse. MonaLisa Touch® is the only successful treatment for this condition and is backed up by clinical results and historical studies. 

Causes of Vaginal Atrophy

MonaLisa Touch®Vaginal atrophy occurs when there is reduced estrogen production. Estrogen levels can drop after menopause, chemotherapy treatments, surgical removal of the ovaries, and pelvic radiation. Without sufficient levels of this hormone, the vaginal tissue won’t receive enough nourishment and can become very dry and susceptible to infections.

Those who aren’t sexually active, smoke cigarettes or haven’t had any vaginal births have an increased risk of developing this condition.

How MonaLisa Touch® Can Help

MonaLisa Touch is a non-invasive treatment that uses a laser to restore moisture and elasticity to the vaginal tissues. During the procedure, a physician inserts a probe into the vagina, producing laser energy to the vaginal wall, ultimately restoring collagen production.

It only takes about five minutes to complete and there’s no anesthesia involved. You can go about your normal activities immediately afterward. You may feel slight pressure or vibration during the procedure and will likely notice an improvement in your symptoms after one treatment. However, best results are achieved after three treatments six weeks apart.
