MonaLisa Touch is a revolutionary new laser treatment for the symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA), also known as the genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). A painless, non-invasive procedure performed in your doctor's office, MonaLisa Touch is ideal for women who cannot or would prefer not to use long term hormonal therapy to treat menopausal symptoms.

Kybella: Reduce Submental Fullness
If you're bothered by fullness underneath your chin,
you're not alone. Submental fullness, or
"double chin," is a common yet undertreated condition. Often resistant to diet and exercise, even fit and slim people struggle with this problem area. In fact, 67% of people surveyed said they're bothered by under-the-chin fullness.
Now, there is a new way to eliminate double chin that
involves no surgery and offers permanent results. Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment to improve the appearance of submental fullness. Want to learn more? Visit hadacm.com or call 217-693-4400 to schedule your consultation.

From Gyno Gab
Menopausal Therapy
For decades, women seeking relief for the symptoms of menopause have had few alternatives to hormonal medication. Estrogen therapy in menopause is highly beneficial for many women and is excellent for relieving painful symptoms; however, a significant number of women, including those who have had breast cancer or have a high risk of breast cancer, cannot or would prefer not to use it. Thankfully, women today have more options, as researchers continue developing innovative new therapies.
Whether to use menopausal therapy, and what type, is a personal decision to be thoughtfully discussed by each individual and her doctor. These selections from Gyno Gab can help you become familiar with how today's available treatments compare. Don't forget to read the
MonaLisa Touch FAQ if non-hormonal treatment may be right for you.
