In our experience, MonaLisa Touch treatments help to restore the tissue resulting in healthy looking tissue NOT bleached appearance. Immediately following the external treatment, the treated area appears white which subsides in 3-7 days. This is not a bleaching of the tissue. The appearance is due to the micro-injuries of the laser. The therapy treats painful intercourse, mild bladder leaks, vaginal atrophy and lichen sclerosus. If anything, it would enhance sensation. Please research all medical treatments before you proceed and the professional performing the treatments.
