Benefits of MonaLisa Touch® for Post-Menopausal Women
&srotate=0)
Menopause is a natural phase of life, but the symptoms that come with it can be disruptive and uncomfortable. Many post-menopausal women experience vaginal dryness, irritation, and changes in sexual function that impact their daily lives and overall well-being in a significantly adverse way. While hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is an option for some, it may not address vaginal discomfort or be suitable for every woman. At Essential Women's Health Associates in Las Vegas and Henderson, NV, board-certified OBGYN Dr. Samantha Schoenhaus understands the frustration of menopause side effects and the wide range of personal preferences women have regarding post-menopausal care.
With this in mind, our caring team is proud to offer MonaLisa Touch as a nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation solution to help post-menopausal women feel more confident, comfortable, and in control of their bodies once again. Take a closer look here at the many benefits of potential results you may experience with MonaLisa Touch, including improved sexual function, vaginal lubrication, and more.
What are the sexual side effects of menopause?
The hormonal shifts that occur during menopause can lead to a variety of unwanted side effects, particularly involving a woman's sexual wellness and intimate health. Some of the most prominent symptoms women may experience during and after menopause include:
- Vaginal dryness
- Pain during intercourse
- Increased irritation and vaginal itching
- Incontinence and/or urinary urgency
While some oral medications — like HRT — and certain invasive procedures may be effective in reducing the sexual side effects of menopause, many women prefer a more natural approach that does not require surgery or downtime. For these women, MonaLisa vaginal rejuvenation can be a fantastic option.
How does MonaLisa Touch work for menopause symptoms?
MonaLisa Touch laser vaginal rejuvenation is a CO2 fractional laser therapy that gently stimulates collagen production and promotes cellular regeneration in vaginal tissues. The treatment helps restore natural lubrication, elasticity, and overall vaginal health without surgery or downtime. Some of the most compelling benefits of MonaLisa Touch vaginal treatment include:
- Increased vaginal lubrication
- Tighter vaginal tissues
- Increased sexual sensitivity and sensation
- Minimal downtime
- Quick and convenient treatment
What happens during a MonaLisa Touch treatment session?
The MonaLisa Touch procedure is a simple, in-office treatment that typically takes less than 30 minutes. During the session, Dr. Schoenhaus will insert a specialized laser probe gently into the vaginal canal. Controlled laser pulses are then emitted to stimulate collagen production and tissue repair. Patients may feel a mild warming or tingling sensation, but potential discomfort is considered minimal and should subside upon the conclusion of treatment. Most women require a series of treatments to achieve optimal results, though many begin to notice an improvement in their post-menopause symptoms — like vaginal dryness and painful intercourse — within just one or two treatment sessions.
Is MonaLisa Touch only for women who have gone through menopause?
MonaLisa Touch is a versatile option for post menopause treatment, though it can certainly benefit women in perimenopause or even those with similar symptoms who haven't yet reached menopause. Generally speaking, candidates for MonaLisa Touch vaginal laser therapy include women who:
- Struggle with vaginal dryness and irritation
- Experience discomfort during intimacy
- Prefer a nonsurgical alternative to vaginal rejuvenation
- Want to enhance the effects of hormone replacement therapy or seek an option without hormones
Prior to treatment, Dr. Schoenhaus performs a thorough consultation to determine whether MonaLisa Touch is the ideal solution for each patient's specific needs and goals. From there, our team will work closely with you to develop a personalized post-menopause care plan that can help you look and feel more like someone you recognize once again — and give you back the confidence and comfort you deserve.
