MonaLisa Touch Q & A
What is MonaLisa Touch?
MonaLisa Touch uses a CO2 laser to deliver a comfortable, quick treatment to help women reverse unwanted changes in the vagina. It’s ideal to address shifts caused by childbirth or menopause without hormones or chemicals.
Women often choose MonaLisa Touch when they experience:
- Vaginal dryness
- Vaginal laxity
- Pain during sex
- Vaginal burning
- Trouble orgasming
- Mild urinary incontinence
This treatment can address physical symptoms like dryness and laxity, but it also helps with the other results of vaginal changes, like reduced self-confidence or challenges with your sex life or libido.
If any of these changes sound familiar to you and you’re interested in reversing them, don’t hesitate to talk to Dr. Ashford about MonaLisa Touch.
How does MonaLisa Touch work?
During treatment, Dr. Ashford uses a specialized probe to direct CO2 laser energy into targeted tissue in your vagina. This fractional laser triggers regeneration in your tissue. Specifically, it encourages the production of collagen, which helps your vagina stay both tight and lubricated.
Treatment with MonaLisa Touch takes just five minutes, and most women report that it’s completely comfortable. You won’t even need to use any anesthetic with your treatment.
In addition to MonaLisa Touch, Dr. Ashford offers other laser-based treatments to help restore your vagina. Those include:
- FemiLift
- Geneveve™
- THERMIva®
Talk with him about your vaginal goals so he can recommend the right treatment for you.
What should I expect after MonaLisa Touch?
There’s no downtime or post-treatment discomfort with this procedure, but you will need to abstain from intercourse for a few days after treatment.
In the coming weeks, as the treated area builds a new network of collagen, you notice your results improve.
Some women reach their desired results with one MonaLisa Touch treatment, while others choose to get a series of treatments to deliver further regeneration in the area. Talk with Dr. Ashford about the changes you’ve experienced and your goals for treatment so he can customize a plan for you.
Changes in your most intimate area don’t have to be permanent. If you’re looking for a way to feel like yourself again, don’t wait to make an appointment with Melvin Ashford, MD. Call the office or schedule your MonaLisa Touch consultation online today.
