MonaLisa Touch: Non-Surgical Labiaplasty Alternative
An important component of enjoying a healthy and fulfilling sex life is self-confidence in the bedroom. But, for many women, insecurities about the appearance of their labia can undermine their self-assurance during intimate moments, as can labia pain or discomfort.
And an oversized labia, or a labia that is loose or wrinkled, is more than just a cosmetic issue. A distended labia can also cause extreme discomfort during sex, as well as when wearing tighter pants, or while exercising.
In the past, the only way to correct a protruding, misshapen or wrinkled labia was with labiaplasty surgery. However, Northwest Ohio Center for Urogynecology in the Toledo area now offers innovative MonaLisa Touch laser treatments as a non-invasive alternative to labiaplasty surgery. MonaLisa Touch not only smooths and contracts the labia skin, it also helps reduce or eliminate labia pain.
Non-Surgical Alternatives to Labiaplasty Surgery
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, labiaplasty surgeries in the US decreased dramatically in 2018, to their lowest level in years. This is because new innovative non-surgical technology is now provides many of the same benefits of labiaplasty surgery for those with discomfort from mild labial laxity or menopause but with no incisions no scars no pain and no downtime!”
At the gynecology and urogynecology practice of Dr. Andrew Croak in the Toledo area we are proud to offer MonaLisa Touch – the premier non-surgical labiaplasty alternative.
How MonaLisa Touch Remodels the Labia without Surgery
Laser energy has long been used in cosmetic procedures for skin tightening, toning, and contouring of the face and body. MonaLisa Touch laser offers the same type of skin tightening and toning on the labia. In many ways, MonaLisa Touch is like a “facelift for the labia.”
Using a slim wand-like device, MonaLisa Touch applies safe, comfortable laser energy that remodels the labia on a deep, cellular level. The soothing thermal energy penetrates the skin and stimulates the body’s own production of collagen and elastin – which are the building blocks of tight, toned, smooth skin.
As these effects develop over time, the labia skin contracts, becoming smaller, smoother and more youthful looking.
Benefits of MonaLisa Touch over Labiaplasty Surgery
During traditional surgical labiaplasty (also called “labia edge excision,”) excess skin is cut off of the labia by the surgeon. Dr. Croak has performed hundreds of labiaplasty surgeries in his career. And, for extremely distended labia, traditional labiaplasty surgery is an excellent option.
However, traditional labiaplasty surgery does require that patients undergo anesthetic prior to their procedure – while non-surgical MonaLisa touch requires no anesthetic.
After undergoing labiaplasty surgery patients typically need two to three days of bedrest, as well as medication to manage the pain. This is followed by at least a week of downtime, refraining from normal activities. Labiaplasty surgery patients must also avoid any vigorous physical activity – and not engage in sexual intercourse – for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
However, MonaLisa Touch patients experience no pain and no downtime or recovery period after their non-surgical labia remodelling. Many patients go back to work or running errands after their treatment – and resume intimacy the next day!
And, in addition to remodelling the labia, non-surgical MonaLisa Touch also gets rid of vaginal dryness, eliminates pain during sex, and can help stop embarrassing bladder leaks.
