Many women experience changes in their health after going through menopause. Approximately 50 percent of postmenopausal women suffer from changes in their vaginal health, such as dryness, burning, pain with sex and vaginal atrophy.
There’s no need for women to suffer after menopause. Some women may feel embarrassed to talk about it but there are treatment options available to help relieve this discomfort. The treatment is relatively quick with little discomfort.
One option is the MonaLisa Touch® which is laser therapy that improves vaginal health. Also known as vaginal rejuvenation, the MonaLisa Touch® delivers gentle laser energy to the vaginal wall tissue that stimulates a healing response by generating new collagen, elastin, and vascularization. A typical course of treatment is three procedures over 18 weeks.
The benefits of this treatment include:
- In-office procedure
- Requires no anesthesia
- No downtime
- Minimal side effects
- Each treatment is less than 7 minutes
- Thousands of women have been treated worldwide since 2012
In both European and US clinical trials, women reported symptom relief after the very first treatment and even greater improvement after the second and third treatments.
The providers at TotalCare for Women offer this treatment in its Chesapeake location. For more information or to schedule a consultation to see if MonaLisa Touch® is the best treatment option for you, call (757) 436-0167 or schedule an appointment.
