Why Should Someone Choose The MonaLisa Touch Over Other Vaginal Rejuvenation Methods?

#Non-surgical treatments with #Thermiva radiofrequency can reduce the labia for some patients. With the availability of recent technology, there are few nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation options available for our patients. CO2 fractionated lasers include the FemiLift, MonaLisa Touch and IntimaLase. The ThermiVa is radiofrequency energy that can also treat the outer Labia to reduce and tighten this area.It can increase blood flow, sensitivity, and orgasm. It can increase moisture and decrease urinary incontinence for many women.PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma ) can be added to these procedures which may make a difference in the outcome. It can be injected into the vaginal mucosa to increase circulation and vaginal health, O-shot. PRP can also be used for a “G” Shot which is injected into the G-spot.Such non-surgical laser vaginal rejuvenation require approximately 3 sessions. Once or twice yearly follow up treatments are recommended to maintain vaginal health. Also, if PRP is being added there is an additional fee per treatment session.However, surgery is the most common treatment. It can usually corrected your concern in less than one hour with the use of a local anaesthetic. Often, many women feel more comfortable and relaxed with a quick twilight or general anaesthetic. Each procedure is customized to the physical findings as well as the desired goals of the patient. There is no one right solution for all patients, but there is a solution for every woman. The outcome of a Labiaplasty is a more youthful appearance, ability to wear all types of clothing without discomfort and/or embarrassment, and a more confident sex life. The best procedure approach will be discussed in greater detail during your one-on-one consultation.

I own a general gynecology clinic and did a lot of research before purchasing the Mona Lisa Touch. It uses a fractionated carbon dioxide laser, which is much more powerful than radio frequency devices and most other lasers, and thus gets better results. Despite this, it is not painful if you have an experienced gynecologist performing the procedure.

Various modalities of vaginal rejuvenation include Hormone Therapy, Lasers, Radiofrequency devices, Platelet Rich Plasma, and injectables such as Hyaluronic acid, fat and topical therapy.
Choice of treatment is highly dependent on number of vaginal births, pre or post menopausal symptoms, and other desired cosmetic goals. In certain conditions more than one treatment modality is indicated. 
Early and close attention to vaginal health can help with lubrication, painful intercourse, SUI, tone, laxity and sensation. 

MonaLisa Touch is designed for the treatment of and alleviation of vaginal atrophy, not vaginal relaxation. While some patients are reporting that tightness is a happy side effect, it has not been FDA approved as a treatment option to address vaginal relaxation. The recommended treatment for vaginal relaxation is surgical tightening through vaginal rejuvenation surgery.Vaginal Rejuvenation surgery is a safe, out-patient procedure that takes one to two hours under general anesthesia. Consult with a few surgeons to discuss your current medical standing and their recommendations for you. Make sure you visit with surgeon's who are highly trained and specialize in cosmetic vaginal surgeries and care. Ask to review before and after photos and read testimonials from their previous patients so you feel confident in their offerings and results. 

The advantages of laser vaginal tightening with FemiLift or MLT are the lack of downtime, the rapid return to sexual activity, and lower upfront cost. The tradeoff is a less intense effect and a temporary duration of effect versus surgery with vaginoplasty. This might be an ideal choice for women who suffer from vaginal laxity, but wish to have more children, have a busy schedule or can't afford surgery. Some effects of laser vaginal tightening such as increased lubrication can't be replicated by surgery. This opens the door for treatment strategies that combine laser vaginal tightening with surgical vaginal rejuvenation to allow motivated women to have the best of both approaches. The treatments are not mutually exclusive.There is confusion among some clinicians as to what laser resurfacing of the vaginal skin accomplishes. This is probably due to the fact that a company who sought FDA approval for vaginal atrophy is only allowed to market their product for that indication while a company sought FDA approval for skin tightening is only allowed to advertise that indication. In essence, all nonsurgical vaginal CO2 lasers drill a matrix of holes into the vaginal epithelium. That process stimulates the production of collagen as the body seeks to repair the holes. The production of new collagen tightens the skin, corrects vaginal atrophy and enhances vaginal lubrication no matter what label the laser happens to be wearing.
