Is the MonaLisa Touch Treatment Suitable for Women of All Ages?

Vaginal dryness can lead to a range of unwanted side effects, including burning, itching, and pain during sexual intercourse — leaving countless women feeling frustrated, uncomfortable, and discouraged. For those patients who prefer not to use synthetic hormones or undergo invasive surgery — or for those who may not be eligible to do so — laser vaginal rejuvenation can be an exciting and effective solution. At Essential Women’s Health Associates, OBGYN Dr. Samantha Schoenhaus understands the disruptive nature of vaginal dryness and the desire for a convenient, more natural treatment option. With this in mind, Dr. Schoenhaus is excited to offer laser vaginal rejuvenation in Las Vegas and Henderson, NV with the MonaLisa Touch CO2 laser treatment system. While menopause is a common cause of vaginal dryness, younger women can also struggle with a lack of vaginal lubrication for a variety of reasons. Keep reading to learn more about who may qualify for MonaLisa Touch treatment, including whether there is a minimum or maximum age for laser vaginal rejuvenation.

What does MonaLisa Touch do?

The MonaLisa Touch treatment offers women a potentially life-changing opportunity to improve or even reverse unwanted intimate symptoms, including:

• Vaginal dryness
• Mild vaginal laxity
• Pain with intercourse
• Burning or itching associated with vaginal dryness
• Mild urinary incontinence
• Emotional distress associated with these concerns

During a MonaLisa Touch treatment, patients will relax comfortably while the laser wand is inserted into the vaginal canal. Virtually painless laser energy is emitted by the wand to stimulate the body’s natural healing and collagen-boosting responses, which can rejuvenate the vaginal tissues and lead to increased vaginal lubrication and tighter, more youthful tissue.

Is MonaLisa Touch only for menopausal women?

Women who would like to improve vaginal dryness associated with menopause make up a good portion of MonaLisa Touch patients. However, patients as young as their 20s and 30s can also benefit from MonaLisa Touch to address the adverse consequences of pregnancy and childbirth, including vaginal dryness that may result from hormone fluctuations after giving birth. Generally speaking, women of almost any age may stand to benefit from MonaLisa Touch, though there are some factors that may mean the treatment is not suitable for certain patients. These may include an active infection, current pregnancy, or advanced vaginal laxity that would be more effectively treated with surgical intervention. During your initial consultation for MonaLisa Touch treatment, Dr. Schoenhaus will assess your vaginal tissues, discuss your symptoms and concerns, review your health and medical history, and determine whether you may be an appropriate candidate for nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation.

How long does MonaLisa Touch last?

On average, patients can typically achieve an optimal outcome with a series of three MonaLisa Touch treatment sessions. Following a full round of treatment, the results may last for up to 18 months, after which time routine maintenance treatments may be recommended annually. With ongoing MonaLisa Touch treatments, women can continue enjoying an improved sexual experience and overall sexual health and wellness for years to come.
