Who May Be a Candidate for MonaLisa Touch® Treatment?
&srotate=0)
Changes in vaginal comfort can develop gradually, sometimes making everyday activities, intimacy, or bladder control feel different than they once did. Women experiencing vaginal dryness, irritation, discomfort during intercourse, or certain urinary concerns related to hormonal and tissue changes may be MonaLisa Touch candidates. Dr. Samantha Schoenhaus at Essential Women's Health Associates in Las Vegas, NV, and Henderson, NV, offers this nonsurgical laser treatment to address vaginal tissue changes that can occur with menopause, childbirth, and aging. MonaLisa Touch uses fractional CO2 laser energy to support vaginal tissue health and may provide an option for women seeking vaginal rejuvenation without surgery.
What symptoms may make someone a MonaLisa Touch candidate?
Vaginal changes can affect more than one aspect of daily life, so candidacy is often based on the symptoms you are experiencing and what may be contributing to them. Hormonal fluctuations, particularly declining estrogen levels around perimenopause and menopause, can contribute to dryness and changes in vaginal tissue. Women may consider discussing MonaLisa Touch in Las Vegas with Dr. Schoenhaus when experiencing concerns such as:
- Persistent vaginal dryness or irritation
- Burning, itching, or vaginal discomfort
- Discomfort during intercourse
- Changes in vaginal tissue associated with menopause
- Mild urinary incontinence or urinary concerns
An evaluation can help identify what may be causing these symptoms and whether MonaLisa Touch is an appropriate vaginal dryness treatment for your needs.
Can menopause or childbirth affect vaginal health?
Hormonal and physical changes throughout life can influence vaginal tissue, natural lubrication, and intimate comfort. During perimenopause and menopause, lower estrogen levels can reduce natural lubrication and contribute to dryness, soreness, or painful intercourse.
Estrogen levels may also fluctuate during pregnancy and breastfeeding, while childbirth can bring additional changes to the vaginal and pelvic tissues. For women exploring MonaLisa Touch in Henderson, Dr. Schoenhaus can consider when symptoms began, their severity, and other health factors when determining whether laser-based vaginal rejuvenation may fit their concerns.
Who should not get MonaLisa Touch?
Certain health conditions, active infections, or other gynecologic concerns may make this treatment inappropriate until those issues have been addressed. Because vaginal dryness, discomfort, urinary changes, and similar symptoms can have different underlying causes, a gynecologic evaluation can help identify the most suitable approach possible.
Dr. Schoenhaus can review your medical history, current gynecologic health, medications, symptoms, and treatment goals before recommending treatment. This evaluation also provides an opportunity to explore other options when MonaLisa Touch may not be the right fit.
Could MonaLisa Touch help restore your intimate comfort?
Vaginal dryness or discomfort can affect intimacy, exercise, everyday movement, and overall quality of life. When these concerns are associated with menopause, childbirth, aging, or hormonal changes, MonaLisa Touch may provide a nonsurgical approach to improving vaginal tissue health and comfort. The treatment is designed to stimulate the vaginal tissue without the need for surgery or an extensive recovery period. Your individual symptoms, health history, and goals can help determine whether this type of treatment is appropriate for you.
