Why Choose MLT Over Other Treatments

Feb 16, 2022 4:04:00 PM

Good for you! You’ve decided to finally do something about the post-menopausal vaginal symptoms that are making you uncomfortable or, even worse, interfering with your daily life and sexual satisfaction. You’re looking forward to the improvements vaginal rejuvenation treatment can bring. But which treatment should you choose?

You could follow the advice of 89% of reviewers on RealSelf, who say their MonaLisa Touch treatments were “worth it!” That’s one of the highest ratings patients give any type of vaginal rejuvenation treatment. And it matches the professional recommendation of Dr. Elise Brown and Dr. Scott Brown, who chose MonaLisa Touch laser vaginal therapy as the treatment of choice for their women’s health patients.

MonaLisa Touch Is the Top Choice for Multiple Reasons

Dr. Elise is an OB-GYN and Dr. Scott is a urologist. Both have dedicated their medical careers to helping women achieve maximum reproductive and related health and wellness. So they always carefully evaluate any potential treatment option before offering it to patients. They chose MonaLisa Touch because they believe it provides the best all-around experience and results.

Traditional Treatments

For generations, women have sought relief from unwanted symptoms that can linger after menopause (and the aging process) take their toll on their vaginal area. Because the primary culprit is estrogen loss and that can also be triggered by certain cancer treatments or surgical removal of the ovaries, younger women, as well as those 50+, can find themselves dealing with:

  • Vaginal atrophy, which can result in vaginal dryness, painful intercourse (or lack of sensation), itching or burning, discharge or bleeding
  • Vaginal laxity caused by childbirth
  • Stress urinary incontinence
  • New or increasing urinary tract or bladder infections

There are self-help options, such as over-the-counter vaginal lubricants and creams for everyday use or to specifically ease discomfort during intercourse. But any woman who has tried them knows they are messy and not always as effective as desired. Plus, these products do nothing to improve incontinence or infections.

Prescription-based estrogen therapy is available in the form of vaginal suppositories or creams. These can do more to address a wider range of symptoms, since they replace lost estrogen, but they are also messy. Many women shy away from estrogen replacement because it can cause serious health-related side effects.

Safe, Comprehensive Relief

MonaLisa Touch treatment can profoundly improve post-menopausal vaginal symptoms, all of them. Because it is non-hormonal, it is safe and effective for all women including those who don’t want or cannot undergo estrogen therapy. Dr. Elise and Dr. Scott say they have been truly “amazed” at the quality and extent of relief patients experience. Needless to say, patient and their partners are thrilled, too.

Not only does the treatment produce exceptional results, it offers many other benefits:

  • Fast – treatment involves a three-part series of in-office sessions that take just 5 minutes apiece, scheduled 4-6 weeks apart
  • Minimal to no discomfort
  • No downtime – though we do recommend patients avoid sex for 48 hours
  • Long-lasting results – an annual refresher treatment is usually all it takes to maintain vaginal health

MonaLisa Touch treatments can be customized for each patient, depending on your specific symptoms and concerns. For example, while other laser- or radiofrequency-based treatments may be designed to treat only internal vaginal tissues, we can use MonaLisa Touch to address both internal and external symptoms caused by estrogen loss. That means you can get more comprehensive relief and look forward to a more comfortable, enjoyable and satisfying future.
