What to Know About the New Pregnant Workers Fairness Act

Vaginal discomforts such as dryness, burning, urinary incontinence and pain with intercourse can occur during perimenopause, during and following menopause, after childbirth, breastfeeding or after a hysterectomy. Life events that result in a drop in estrogen can have a severe impact on gynecologic health.
Laser technology may be an option for you. MonaLisa Touch is a simple and proven fractional CO2 laser for gynecologic use. It delivers energy to the tissue that prompts your body’s natural healing response. This includes the production of collagen, elastin and vascularization. This improves the functionality of the treated area and restores the proper trophic balance to the mucous membrane. That means you can feel like yourself again. Patients report having their confidence restored and quality of life improved.
This procedure is hormone and chemical free. This valuable treatment option is particularly well suited for patients who are not suited for estrogen therapy, such as breast cancer survivors. We perform it in the comfort of our office as a routine outpatient appointment. This is an elective procedure and does not require a prior referral. You can schedule it at your convenience.
The procedure is similar to your annual exam. The physician will insert the laser and deliver laser energy “pulses” that stimulate the collagen in the vaginal walls to rehydrate and restore functional tissue. It increases blood flow and lubrication. The restoration of natural vaginal functionality can improve confidence and sexual well-being.
Most patients resume their routines within a few days of the procedure and side effects are typically mild or unnoticeable in most cases. Your physician will determine your tailored post-procedure regimen. For a full list of warnings and indications, visit smilemonalisa.com.
