MonaLisa Touch treatment is a type of vaginal laser treatment. It’s non-invasive and targets your vagina laxity, bladder issues, and general vaginal health. The treatment aims to improve your vagina’s elasticity, and moisture as it encourages blood circulation and collagen production.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Zilberstein asks questions about your general health and your vaginal wellbeing. She may recommend a wide range of treatments, such as hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle changes, and the MonaLisa Touch.
The process of treatment feels no more than a regular pelvic exam. There is no pain, and patients often report the sensation of “vibrations”. The entire treatment only lasts a couple of minutes. Shortly afterward, you may feel slight discomfort, and are advised to avoid sexual activity and tampons for a few days. After your first treatment, Dr. Zilberstein recommends two follow-up visits to her clinic each 6 weeks apart, and yearly appointments for general vaginal check-ups.
