Reversing Mid-Life Vaginal Dryness with MonaLisa Touch®

If you’re a woman who’s approaching menopause, you may be all too familiar with vaginal dryness. The condition is quite common and can lead to discomfort, itching, and even pain during intimacy, negatively impacting your quality of life. 

Research shows that as women age, incidences of vaginal dryness increase. Fortunately, at North Atlantic OB/GYN, serving patients in Alpharetta, Marietta, and Atlanta, Georgia, the expert team offers MonaLisa Touch® offer a non-invasive solution to help reverse vaginal dryness and restore vaginal health.

Causes of vaginal dryness

Going through childbirth and, later, perimenopause and menopause stimulate hormonal and physical changes that affect your vaginal health. You may notice uncomfortable symptoms like: 

• Vaginal dryness
• Vaginal itching or burning
• Decreased sensation
• Painful intercourse
• Urinary incontinence

As you age, the tissue within your vagina weakens. Lower levels of estrogen after childbirth or menopause also contribute to symptoms. Vaginal laxity, along with a natural decrease in lubrication, can make sex less enjoyable and even painful for many women. 

You’re not alone if you find discussing this vaginal atrophy awkward – even with your doctor. If your relationship or your quality of life suffers, it’s time to learn more about your options with MonaLisa Touch. 

About MonaLisa Touch

MonaLisa Touch is a cutting-edge laser therapy designed specifically for women experiencing symptoms of vaginal atrophy, including dryness. This treatment works by gently stimulating the production of collagen in the vaginal walls, which improves hydration, elasticity, and overall tissue health.

MonaLisa Touch treatments offer the following benefits: 

• Improved natural lubrication
• Enhanced elasticity of the vaginal walls
• Quick and noninvasive results
• No downtime

Plan on three sessions, spaced about six weeks apart. You may notice improvements after just one or two sessions.

What to expect with MonaLisa Touch

MonaLisa Touch delivers precise laser energy to the vaginal tissue, encouraging natural regeneration. During treatment, you relax on an exam table, and your provider applies the laser energy using a sterile wand. 

This process stimulates collagen development to rejuvenate tissue, promoting better moisture levels and reducing the symptoms of dryness.

Each treatment takes just 5-10 minutes and requires no downtime.
