Nu-V, Femilift, ThermiVa vs MonaLisa Touch: which vaginal treatment is more effective?
Nu-V, Femilift, and MonaLisa Touch use laser technology, while ThermiVa uses radiofrequency energy. All can improve mild vaginal laxity and dryness, but studies suggest similar effectiveness for mild to moderate symptoms. Choice depends on your individual needs, clinician experience, and safety profile.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Nu-V, Femilift, and MonaLisa Touch are fractional CO2 lasers that stimulate collagen production, improve tissue quality, and treat mild laxity and dryness. ThermiVa uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat tissues for similar effects. Clinical studies show all can improve symptoms, but none are approved for severe laxity or prolapse. MonaLisa Touch is widely studied, but long-term data is still emerging for all. Effectiveness varies by patient and repeated sessions are often needed. Consult a regulated clinic with experienced clinicians. RCOG: Laser vaginal treatments.
Clinical Context
