Too Old for Romance? A Patient Recounts Personal Experience with the MonaLisa Touch Laser Treatment.
Dr. Assia Stepanian, a minimally invasive gynecologic (MIG) surgeon, based in Atlanta, Georgia, but recognized the world-over for her inspiring work in gynecology at her practice: Academia of Women’s Health & Endoscopic Surgery, is smiling today. The gynecologist just read the first installment of a patient’s personal story about her experience with the MonaLisa Touch Laser treatment, and how it changed her love life. www.academiawomenshealth.com/too-old-for-romance/
“As we age and our hormones change, a woman can experience vaginal dryness, atrophy, a condition called Lichens Sclerosis, vulvar and pelvic pain along with incontinence, and pain with intimacy,” Dr. Stepanian explained.
The MonaLisa Touch Laser is a fractional CO2 laser technology which stimulates the growth of new, healthy vaginal and vulvar epithelium and collagen production. The results can be a reduction in the surface inflammation of the vagina and vulvar tissue, an increase in natural lubrication, and reduced pain with intimacy. Some patients also experience an improvement in mild urinary incontinence.
The MonaLisa Touch recently came under fire from the FDA because of marketing claims that the procedure could be used to “rejuvenate” the vagina. “A better way to speak of MonaLisa,” says Dr. Stepanian, “is that it is designed to help with age-related symptoms of the vagina and vulva,” she explained.
Dr. Stepanian says that occasionally patients call for MonaLisa Touch thinking that treatment is possible without a proper gynecologic examination and evaluation of symptoms. Dr. Stepanian, a physician with 25 years of laser experience, explained that the MonaLisa treatment has never been approached that way at Academia.
“Each one of our patients has an examination and I determine her personal condition,” explained Dr. Stepanian. During the exam, the physician checks for malignancy or premalignant conditions while evaluating the quality of the vaginal and vulvar tissue. “I only recommend MonaLisa Touch treatment if it is the best course of action,” she explained. In the initial blog post, a patient explains why and how her decision was made to undergo treatment with the MonaLisa Touch.
