Enjoying Intimacy Again With MonaLisa Touch®

Many women feel frustrated, dejected, and worried about their future when they start experiencing menopausal changes that affect their sexual intimacy. 

At Optimal Women’s Health, our caring OB/GYN, Dr. Valerie Ginsburg, focuses on empowering patients to defy those disruptive symptoms using a groundbreaking solution called MonaLisa Touch®.

The effect of menopause on intimacy

As estrogen levels plummet, menopause can bring on a whole range of problems, including changes in the vagina. It’s common to experience vaginal dryness, poor lubrication, and even painful intercourse. 

These issues may cause you to feel self-conscious, stressed, and disconnected from both yourself and your partner. We believe you deserve to get your groove back and enjoy intimacy again, and that’s why Dr. Ginsburg chose our state-of-the-art MonaLisa Touch laser for our practice.

How MonaLisa Touch can help

MonaLisa Touch is a nonhormonal, chemical-free, and nonsurgical treatment that can help you rediscover the joy of intimacy. The treatment uses a fractional CO2 laser that’s specially designed for use in intimate areas. 

The laser delivers energy in a dot pattern into the layer of skin that makes collagen and elastin. These two proteins provide skin plumping (collagen) and elasticity (elastin). 

While you have natural collagen and elastin, it quickly decreases during menopause. In fact, the American Academy of Dermatology explains that your skin loses nearly one-third of its total collagen stores in the first five years of menopause. This collagen loss affects your whole body.

MonaLisa Touch helps by triggering a healing reaction in your deeper skin layers, causing you to make new collagen and elastin. Used both internally and externally, MonaLisa Touch can help strengthen vaginal walls, improve elasticity, and restore the appearance of the vulva. 

 

A treatment session takes only minutes in our office. Although you might feel some warmth, it’s generally painless. You can resume most regular activities that same day. You may need to refrain from sexual intercourse for a few days, allowing your tissues to start the healing process, based on Dr. Ginsburg’s recommendations. 

Most women find that a series of treatments, usually around six weeks apart, offers the best results.
