I had the prescribed three MonaLisa Touch treatments, plus one final treatment without cost, performed by Dr. Melanie Ornstein and Elin Raymond. My primary problems were painful intercourse, urinary urgency and lichen sclerosus, which was also very painful. By the third treatment, I was much improved and my GP, who originally diagnosed the lichen sclerosus said "It's like you never had it," when she examined me. I'm very glad I had the treatments and I believe they made a significant difference. This isn't a cure, and if you are like me, you'll still have symptoms. I still use the estradiol vaginal ring (estring) and use lubrication but things feel much better for me and my partner. There is still some discomfort but far less than before. I really appreciated the care I received from Drs. Ornstein and Raymond, who answered all my questions. It's an expensive treatment but, in my opinion, worth it for the relief it brought. The laser was almost painless, just a couple of areas were extra sensitive but it hardly hurt at all, with only minimal discomfort for about 8 hours after the treatment, sort of like a sunburn feeling.
