showcase August 2016 46 www.womanthismonth.com This popular medical institution now offers a new methodology to help women restore genital function and youthful sensitivity. MIDDLE EAST MEDICAL CENTER NEW ADVANCES IN WOMEN’S HEALTH Middle East Medical Center (MEM) introduces an exciting new therapy – Mona Lisa Touch – a state-of-the-art, minimally-invasive outpatient solution that uses laser technology to provide optimal care for various feminine concerns. The procedure is fast, painless and completely safe, providing highly effective results. Life processes such as childbirth, weight fluctuations and hormonal changes during menopause may overstretch and damage vaginal tissue and the pelvic floor, and alter the mucosal tone of the vaginal wall. These changes can lead to conditions such as stress urinary incontinence (SUI), vaginal atrophy, dryness and recurring infections – negatively affecting a woman’s quality of life and self confidence. Mona Lisa Touch is a versatile solution that enables the gynaecologist to treat various feminine indications quickly and effectively. The procedures do not require anesthesia or downtime, ensuring that women can resume their routine and regain confidence soon after treatment. Vaginal Rehabilitation After Childbirth Post-delivery, the vaginal area may feel stretched and dry and the pelvic floor may be weakened. Mona Lisa Touch rehabilitates the entire vaginal area by reinforcing and toning vaginal tissue, restoring its strength and flexibility. Post-Menopausal Discomfort The shift in hormones that occurs with menopause can cause the lining of the vagina to become thinner, drier, less elastic and inflamed. Mona Lisa Touch rejuvenates the vaginal lining, increasing the thickness of the vaginal walls and restoring natural lubrication. The treatment reduces uncomfortable symptoms such as itching, burning and friction and helps improve sexual function. Stress Urinary Incontinence SUI involves involuntary leakage of urine in response to increased intra-abdominal pressure during activities such as coughing, sneezing, heavy lifting and physical activity. The Mona Lisa Touch laser stimulates collagen renewal as well as contraction of the elastin fibres, inducing rejuvenation and tissue remodelling, repairing and tightening the pelvic floor.
