‘In the past, laser procedures for gynaecology were largely reserved for
invasive surgical procedures,’ says Dr Roos. MonaLisa Touch treatment has
transformed the application of this technology to create a procedure that is
minimally invasive and available to almost all women.
The MonaLisa Touch treatment helps patients suffering from symptoms
such as vaginal itchiness and burning, dryness and loss of lubrication, urinary
incontinence and urinary urgency, painful intercourse, vulval and vaginal
pain, and laxity or looseness – these are all common conditions resulting from
vaginal atrophy. Additionally, MonaLisa Touch can be used aesthetically for
vaginal rejuvenation.
‘MonaLisa Touch is the first solution designed to naturally counteract the
effects of hypotrophy of the vaginal mucosa,’ explains Dr Roos. ‘By stimulating
the regeneration of new vaginal tissue, MonaLisa Touch restores your body’s
natural balance and function.’
The versatility of MonaLisa Touch stems from the technology it uses to
improve the genital mucosa and restore proper function in the treatment
area. Using fractionated CO 2
laser light, the MonaLisa Touch probe – which is
inserted into the vagina – delivers thermal energy into the deeper layers of the
vaginal tissue.
This kick-starts the body’s natural processes to increase blood flow and
stimulate the formation of collagen, which improves the integrity and elasticity
of the genital mucosa. This can be effective in alleviating vaginal pain in those
patients experiencing gynaecological problems or vaginal atrophy, or in simply
tightening the vaginal walls for a rejuvenating effect. It creates more hydrated and
healthy cells which help to increase vascularisation, hydration and acidity, which
are important components of vaginal health.
MonaLisa Touch delivers the thermal heating at specific depths in the tissue
to achieve an optimum, targeted result. Also, the fractionated effect means there
are areas of untouched tissue left between laser columns. This healthy tissue
helps promote healing and reduces downtime after treatment. For most patients,
it can be performed as a “lunchtime” procedure; it is non-invasive and requires
no anaesthesia.
‘Put simply, MonaLisa Touch stimulates natural regeneration using laser
therapy,’ says Dr Roos. ‘Patients can rediscover the confidence to live the lifestyle
they choose, free from vaginal discomfort and pain, and is sought by a significant
number of patients of many different ages.
Often a series of treatments is recommended to achieve the best results, but
most patients notice a significant improvement after the first procedure.
The likelihood of post-treatment complications following a MonaLisa Touch
treatment is minimal. There may be some mild discomfort for 12 to 24 hours after
the procedure, but typically most patients experience no side effects.
Whether you’re looking to relieve the symptoms of vaginal atrophy, or seeking
a rejuvenating effect, MonaLisa Touch offers an effective solution, backed by
clinical research and a history of success in a gynaecological setting.
‘Almost all of my patients notice a significant improvement following the
MonaLisa Touch procedure – it’s a simple light-based solution to help you feel
like you again,’ Dr Roos concludes.
