When women go through menopause or undergo some breast cancer treatments, the loss of estrogen and other hormones can lead to different changes in the body. One common condition that many postmenopausal women experience is called GSM: Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause. GSM symptoms include painful intimacy, vulvovaginal discomfort / irritation, dryness or frequent urinary tract infections.
For some women, these symptoms are effectively treated with vaginal estrogen products. Other women may not respond to, or cannot use, vaginal estrogen. Minimally-invasive, non-hormonal office procedure MonaLisa Touch at Urology of Indiana provides a great and effective option. It’s quick with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately.
- MonaLisa Touch is FDA-cleared, non-surgical and delivers fractional CO2 laser energy to the soft tissues of the vagina. This increases blood flow as well as collagen and elastin production in the tissues.
- The treatment generally consists of three 5-10 minute sessions performed six weeks apart. After that, one maintenance treatment is typically needed annually.
- MonaLisa Touch is not covered by health insurance. Urology of Indiana offers single-session pricing for $500 as well as a 3-treatment package for $1,200.
