hi all i had my first treatment of the mona lisa touch a week ago i will need to have another one before doing the homework if you know what mean.
but it was was itchy for most of this week not sure if it was the cause or that i had a cold sore on my lip come up at the same time cos i get itchy down there when they are about to appear. and the area around my anus is sore. but i will not give up and see what happens the doctor who did it is positive so we will see . there was very little pain it felt like little needles of the ones i did feeland he did put numbing gel on outside, so not bad. i go for second treatment on 17/7 so we will see what happens.
Good for you. Anxious to hear how you progress. Take care!
lol
you were quick yes i hope it will help at least for awhile
i forgot to say it was a bit like sunburn burny for a day or so too but cool packs and amolin helps
Is this available in the UK, if so anyone know how much it costs
I recall one person said it cost about $2500.00. Not sure what that equates to in English currency. It's been around for about six years...so would likely be available in the UK. Worth looking into. Anxious to hear how Christine gets on.
Sorry Christine what is this treatment exactly ?
What exactly is this treatment I've not hear if it before.
Asking the same question. What is this treatment? First time I have heard this term.
Keep us posted. Curious how this will help with the LS.
The Mona Lisa Touch, an Italian-built laser device, was uses lasers to stimulate collagen. This is similar to the procedure plastic surgeons use to stimulate collagen in the face.“It’s a thin-dot laser applied to skin to stimulate the production of collagen. This has nothing to do with lifting. You’re actually creating a healthier skin, more viable but instead of on the face, it’s in the vagina and is relatively pain free. It consists of 3 three minute treatments 6 weeks apart and usually is repeated once a year thereafter. Before a woman is allowed to take part in the procedure she must undergo the customary pelvic exam, but if all checks out alright a doctor will insert the laser to the vaginal surface. The small size of the actual laser ensures that there is no risk of burns to the woman’s skin.Once activated, the laser removes the dried skin which stimulates the collagen revival. This reportedly improves the overall condition.It has been effective in making sexual relations normal again and has also been shown effective in treating LS.
I'm really excited to know how you get on! as this is a treatment I could see myself having in the future.
I am now reading lots of information about this Mona Lisa Touch procedure that has just been approved by the US FDA. I know its primarily used for vaginal dryness, but I am seeing that some dermotologists report good results for LS too. I know one person on the forum has had the procedure in S Africa. I am curious if any others have and what the results have been. It is not typically covered by insurance here, but may well be worth the cost if it works.
Hi, Im from Western Australia and I too have just had my first session with MONA Lisa touch laser, 24/6/15.
it was a bit more painful than I expected given everything I have googled about it, but nothing I wouldn't put up with given the result so far. I didn't experience any discomfort or anything after, in fact I felt like nothing had been done and wondered if I had just been ripped off $800.
i wS told to wait 5 days before testing it out....you know what I mean😁.... And I did. But sex was actually more painful and I bled a little bit, but I think that is because we didn't use the standard bottle of sylk lube, as usually required.
But I feel a real difference physically "down there" in everyday life. No more itching, burning, applying vaginal cream or replens. And still feeling good.
my next treatment is 22/7/15 and I'm so looking forward to seeing th results from that.
We'll test it out once more before next treatment and see if she's improved more. But I'm a bit anxious about at.
i would be interested to know if there are any support groups for us ladies that have had the procedure and those thinking of having it done.
Will keep you posted on how the next one goes and results.
Cheers
Thanks for the feedback. I have been talking to my GYN about it and she is encouaging me to try. Dealing with a bum knee right now but hoping to start in the fall. Please leep us iupdated. I so MUCH appreciate the feedback.
Fantastic! I am going to have this treatment at some point. Glad to hear all went well, let us know how things progress.
Has there been any improvement?
Yes! For th past 2 years I have been on topical creams and vaginal moisturisers twice a week. If I didn't use them I suffered from soreness, itching etc all the time.
i was told not to use either of these products after the treatment. And I didn't.
Im pleased to say that, apart from pain with sex still, all my other symptoms have gone.
I have my second treatment tomorrow and can't wait to see how much more I improve.
That is fantastic. From what I can tell this is only offered for women but I assume that it would do exactly the same for a man would it not? Would you happen to know anything about a similar treatment for men?
I don't really know, sorry. I am being treated for vaginal atrophy with MONA Lisa Touch. I don't suffer from LS, so I'm not sure how this proceedure could help you.
