Announcement:
Dr. Trussell now performing MonaLisa Touch procedures.
MonaLisa Touch® is designed primarily for postmenopausal women who are suffering from changes in their gynecologic health particularly in regards to vaginal dryness and dyspareunia. Women who experience similar side effects as a result of a hysterectomy or breast cancer treatments may also benefit from gynecologic laser therapy.
MonaLisa Touch® works by stimulating the body’s regenerative processes to create more hydrated and healthy cells, and to improve the vascularity of the vaginal mucosa. This improves the integrity and elasticity of the vaginal wall and normalizes pH (increases the acidity) of the vaginal environment. MonaLisa Touch® improves the health and function of the vagina.
