Enjoy Sexual Intimacy Again with MonaLisa Touch

As you age or undergo life-altering events like childbirth or menopause, hormonal fluctuations can lead to a range of intimate health issues. These may include vaginal dryness and discomfort during intercourse — both of which can lead to a decrease in overall sexual satisfaction. 

Whether you’re dealing with dryness due to menopause, lichen sclerosis, or the effects of a hysterectomy, the reality is that vaginal atrophy and vaginal dryness aren’t just a nuisance. They can be downright painful.

That’s where MonaLisa Touch® comes into the picture. MonaLisa Touch is a gentle laser therapy that supports vaginal rejuvenation without the need for hormones or invasive procedures, and it’s available here at Aurora OB/GYN in San Antonio, Texas.

Read on as board-certified OB/GYN Karen Allsup, FACOG, MD, explains how MonaLisa Touch works and how it can help restore the spark in your intimate life.

Learning more about MonaLisa Touch 

MonaLisa Touch uses fractional CO2 laser technology to stimulate collagen production in your vaginal walls. This gentle and precise process enhances your tissue tone, elasticity, and blood flow. The increased elasticity and improved blood flow help support healthy vaginal mucosa.

During your procedure, Dr. Allsup inserts the handheld device into the treatment area, where it emits short laser pulses. The process takes about five minutes. You’ll need a total of three sessions over the course of 18 weeks, but most women experience relief by the second session.

How MonaLisa Touch improves sexual intimacy

MonaLisa Touch helps you enjoy sexual intimacy by addressing the symptoms (like dryness) that make sex painful. 

MonaLisa Touch can help with the following:

Increases vaginal lubrication

MonaLisa Touch restores natural lubrication, reducing friction and discomfort during intimacy.

Increases elasticity

The treatment promotes collagen synthesis. Collagen is a protein that’s naturally in your body, but collagen production naturally slows down as you have. The laser energy stimulates your body to ramp up collagen production, and the more collagen you have, the more flexible and resilient your vaginal tissues become.

Alleviates discomfort from chafing

Your vaginal mucosa may become thinner and drier during menopause. This can cause symptoms such as dryness, itching, or dyspareunia. Women experiencing vaginal dryness, itching, or pain often find relief as MonaLisa Touch revitalizes their vaginal mucosa.

Increases sexual pleasure

MonaLisa Touch isn’t just about alleviating painful sensations; it can also enhance positive sensations. By promoting tissue health, MonaLisa Touch can contribute to heightened sensitivity and improved sexual pleasure.

Enjoy sexual intimacy again

Choosing MonaLisa Touch is more than a medical decision; it’s a transformative step toward reclaiming your sensual wellness so you can experience all of the benefits of a healthy sex life.
