In general terms MonaLisa Touch improves the function and health of the vagina.

What is Vaginal Atrophy?

Vaginal atrophy, or vaginal ageing, affects around 50 percent of menopausal and post-menopausal women. The walls of the vagina become thinner and the natural elasticity and blood supply is reduced.

The protective mucosa of the vagina can lose hydration and thickness causing a loss of lubrication. The changes in the natural pH balance of the internal environment have detrimental effects on the function and health of the vagina.

What are the Symptoms of Vaginal Atrophy?

The symptoms of vaginal atrophy may be:

Vaginal dryness or itchiness,
Burning sensations and irritation of the vagina,
Fissuring of the opening of the vagina,
Pain during sexual intercourse (Dyspareunia)
Vaginal pain

The symptoms of vaginal atrophy can have both a physical and emotional impact on the patient, including affecting their intimate relationships.
