[January 31, 2018]  Springfield Clinic’s Center for Women’s Health is offering a new minimally- invasive in-office procedure called MonaLisa Touch® Laser Therapy. Springfield Clinic is the exclusive provider of this therapy option in the Springfield area.

This treatment is for those who suffer from vaginal or vulvar atrophy. The procedure uses a laser to promote healing in the inner lining of the vagina. The laser stimulates collagen in the layers of the vaginal wall to improve the health of the vaginal tissue. Doctors can perform the treatment in their office in less than ten minutes. Patients on hormone treatments for vaginal or vulvar atrophy can use MonaLisa Touch® Therapy as a non-hormonal option.

Symptoms of vaginal or vulvar atrophy include:

  • Painful intercourse

  • Vaginal dryness

  • Decreased urinary tract health

    • Recurrent urinary tract infections

    • Recurrent frequent urination

    • Recurrent painful urination

In total, the patient will receive a series of three treatments over 18 weeks, one treatment every six weeks. Often, a booster is recommended every 12-18 months.  The procedure does not require anesthesia before, and patients will not need pain medications or rest afterwards. Some patients have reported mild discomfort for a day or two after, but return to full activity by 48 hours.

The treatment series costs $1,500 and is not currently covered by insurance.
