Imagine Laserworks for Menopause 

We can help reduce the intensity and/or frequency of the symptoms
Imagine Laserworks for Menopause combines traditional acupuncture practices with modern technology to target various pressure points on the body. Our procedure helps to control pain, increase blood flow, balance the body’s hormones and bring its energy flow back in line. All of these are useful to help alleviate the symptoms of menopause.
We recognize that each woman’s experience with menopause is unique, so we customize our procedures for each individual to ensure you receive the relief you need from the symptoms restricting you from leading your best life.


Menopause basics
Menopause occurs when a woman’s menstrual periods stop and she is no longer able to conceive naturally. The menstrual periods can diminish gradually, or they may stop suddenly; it varies with each individual.
As a result of the hormonal changes that occur during menopause, many women experience symptoms such as hot flashes, headaches or difficulties with focus and memory. Although menopause may be a normal part of a woman’s progression through life, the symptoms or side-effects can be very uncomfortable and even debilitating and we are making every effort to help reduce their impact on your life.

Although often referred to as “the change of life” menopause is not “a” change, as it does not typically happen all at once. As your body transitions into menopause over several years, you may experience windows of time with any combination of symptoms or all of them. Perimenopause (or pre-menopause) may start as early as the mid-thirties, but it is more common to start in the early to mid-forties and is typically coincidental with a reduced and irregular frequency of menstrual periods. The transition from perimenopause to menopause itself is considered to have occurred after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Perimenopause will typically last 4-8 years, with most women entering menopause by their early fifties. The symptoms will normally dissipate over time, but may periodically recur later in life, as menopause is a lifelong state once entered.


Imagine Laserworks can help reduce the impact of many menopausal symptoms:
  • hot flashes also known as hot flushes (including facial redness)
  • night sweats
  • insomnia
  • anxiety
  • depression
  • fatigue
  • mood swings
  • headaches and migraines
  • palpitations
  • pain (low back pain, osteoarthritis/knee pain).
  • difficulty sleeping
  • weight gain
  • slowed metabolism

The Imagine Laserworks procedure is one of several complementary and holistic wellness techniques that have shown to help women deal with menopausal hot flashes. It works by boosting the production of endorphins, which stabilizes the body’s temperature management system.

When dealing with hot flashes through auricular therapy acupuncture, there are three major types of points that are focused on, those being the kidney-related points.

As we age, our kidney energy becomes weaker and ultimately deficient; most symptoms of menopause are linked to kidney function deficiency, so supporting the kidneys is essential to successfully handling the symptoms.

According to German auricular acupuncture guidelines, there are several points associated with the kidneys and the meridians can be found on the ear, as well as other areas on the body. There are three points on the kidney meridian we focus on, stimulating them helps to address hot flashes and other symptoms.

As with other holistic methods of healing, it is best to complement your Imagine Laserworks procedure with other lifestyle changes. These other changes include incorporating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, implementing a regular sleep-wake schedule and staying properly hydrated. Incorporating Imagine Laserworks with these lifestyle changes can help create a smoother transition into and through menopause.


Pain
Imagine Laserworks procedures are also an effective way to help manage the aches and pains associated with menopause. Our procedures interact with key pressure points on the body, stimulating the central nervous system and causing it to release pain-relieving chemicals, such as endorphins, naturally into your system.


Mood swings and anxiety
Mood swings are an often-discussed symptom of menopause, it is very easy to not feel like yourself when your hormones are out of balance. Imagine Laserworks helps address this by guiding the neurotransmitters in the brain to alleviate conditions such as anxiety and nervousness, resulting in an improved overall mood.

The sessions help to provide you with the peace and relaxation you may otherwise be struggling to achieve. During your sessions, your muscles are relaxed and your thoughts stop racing.

By the end of each session, you will feel as though you’ve awoken from a good nap: relaxed, refreshed, and just slightly dazed.


Insomnia
Do you suffer from insomnia or poor sleep, do you wake up with less energy than when you went to bed? This is one of the potential unpleasant side-effects of menopause. Women often experience sleep disturbances during the perimenopausal stage and then carrying on throughout menopause. Poor sleeping patterns may be caused by several factors, including hormone imbalance or levels, anxiety or depression, or sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and elevated stress.

Many women experience insomnia during perimenopause and continue to struggle with sleep issues well into menopausal life, despite various treatments and medications. Thankfully, Imagine Laserworks has demonstrated that we can help improve both quality and quantity of sleep for those affected by this symptom.

Imagine Laserworks is effective in helping to improve quality of sleep and quality of life, in menopausal women with insomnia.


Fatigue
Imagine Laserworks can also help decrease states of feeling fatigued and the resultant irritability, by assisting to improve blood flow throughout the body, which in turn helps to boost energy levels.

Another advantage of an Imagine Laserworks session is decreased nocturnal anxiety. It may also boost energy by encouraging the release of melatonin, which promotes a restful night’s sleep and relieves fatigue-inducing stress.


Vaginal dryness
Hormonal imbalances during menopause can reduce the natural fluid production in the vagina, leading to dryness and pain during sex. Our procedures can help stimulate the release of neuro chemicals that can counteract the imbalances causing this. The procedures help restore the hormonal balance, as well as helping to restore proper retained hydration levels.
