At Avantia, we see many women who had been too embarrassed, intimidated or skeptical to seek treatment for their symptoms of menopause for too long. Beyond the physical symptoms, the loss of intimacy or loss of freedom many women experience as a result of menopause can cause feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. Like Lori, if menopause symptoms are negatively impacting physical and emotional aspects of your life, talk to your doctor – or talk to our doctor – to explore innovative menopause treatment options like MonaLisa Touch. Inquire about a free, private consultation to see if you’re a candidate, and in the meantime, watch and listen to Lori’s MonaLisa Touch story for a dose of comfort and encouragement to help you on your journey.
After seeing the ad in the paper, did a little investigating on the Internet and decided it was worth checking out further and called the Doctor’s office and got in for a consultation. Then after meeting with her and seeing how optimistic she was about it and that she felt I was a good candidate, I went ahead and said, “Let’s do this.”

“It helps me to feel like I can be in touch with being just a woman again”
It’s very easy. There is really no preparation. There’s no anesthetic. You come into the office. The procedure’s five minutes, maybe. No pain involved. It gives you hope because if you’ve been having issues for a long, long time… and for me, it was years and years and years, and I tried lots and lots of things, both homeopathic and prescription things with my doctors. This provided not only hope for me but hope for my husband. It gives a certain amount of comfort and a certain amount of willingness to jump in and try.
It helps me to feel like I can be in touch with being just a woman again because that goes away a bit if you’re having troubles like that. It can really affect your self-confidence, your self-esteem. I think that was sort of a plus that I wasn’t really considering that just happened. It was very easy to say, “Let’s try this,” and I’m really happy that I did.
