I am glad that I finally had the courage to begin the Mona Lisa Touch procedure. I am 51 and menopause had put a huge damper in my sex-life for the past year. My husband and I have always had a very healthy sex life until about a year ago. Sex had become extremely painful (I would actually bleed from internal tearing). I knew I had to do something if I wanted to enjoy the once intimate life I had with my husband. After months of research, reading reviews and investigating, I decided to invest in the Mona Lisa Touch procedure with Dr. Mallard. She is wonderful and understanding. Dr. Mallard is kind and made me feel so at ease. To be honest, it was the best decision I have made in years... I have only had one of the three procedures but I am so happy with the results. Finally, sex is pain-free and back to normal. Even my husband says he can feel a difference. If any women is experiencing the negative effects of menopause (in a sexual manner), do not hesitate in getting the Mona Lisa Touch. Tomorrow is my second appointment and I am so looking forward to the results. There was absolutely NO PAIN during the procedure. I believe it should be covered by medical insurance because most women experience intimacy issues with menopause.
