Why Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation?
As we age, our bodies change and bear the signs of aging. In particular, the effects of aging are seen and felt by women—especially those who have gone through the process of childbirth. Women who have multiple children experience magnified effects.
Have you experienced changes in your vaginal health since menopause? Do you know that as many as 50% of postmenopausal women suffer from changes in vaginal health?
Vaginal Rejuvenation, which is not as invasive as most plastic surgery, addresses the gynecological changes that women experience and is not just a question of aesthetics, because it provides an opportunity to enhance our sexual health as well as sexual satisfaction. This non-invasive surgery changes the look or feel of female genitals, such as the labia and vagina.
MonaLisa Touch® is the ideal treatment for those who are looking for a less invasive procedure with little to no risk, compared to traditional cosmetic surgical or pharmaceutical treatments. Other types of female genital cosmetic surgery include clitoral hood reduction, which makes the covering of the clitoris smaller (usually done at the same time as labiaplasty), vaginoplasty, which is marketed as a way to tighten the vaginal canal and vaginal laxity, which is marketed as a way to strengthen the perineum and enhance sexual function.
Many women experience vaginal dryness, itching, or urinary stress incontinence. Those who would benefit from Vaginal Rejuvenation Procedures.
The MonaLisa Touch® is an in-office procedure performed by an experienced physician. The procedure is virtually painless and requires no anesthesia. Some patients may experience some discomfort the first time the probe is inserted, but the actual treatment is not painful. A consultation can answer any questions about the discomforts involved and how to manage them.
The procedure is similar to almost any other vaginal rejuvenation procedure and is not as invasive as plastic surgery. A strong lidocaine-based numbing cream will be applied prior to the procedure. This will assure that this is a painless process. Before the laser is activated, everyone in the room must wear special eye protection which will be provided. The metal wand used will feel cool initially inserted. You will feel a vibrating sensation. You may experience a tingling sensation and or air puffs during the treatment. These may get stronger near the vaginal opening. There might be a slight sizzle sound during the laser pulse. There might be a slight odor from the vaginal tissue being warmed up. The procedure lasts about 5-10 minutes. An occlusive ointment will be applied after the completion of the procedure. A pad will be provided to protect your clothing. There will be no dermal fillers or chemical peels involved in this.
Some women experience a watery discharge or light spotting for a day or two after the cosmetic surgery. The vaginal area may feel swollen or full. Do not put anything inside your vagina for 48 hours such as tampons or sexual intercourse. After 48 hours when the area feels normal with no discomfort normal. You will be scheduled for 2 additional treatments 6-weeks apart to complete the recommended protocol to achieve the maximum benefits from the MonaLisa Touch® procedure.
