escribing Dr. Karen Kennedy as a gynecologist doesn’t quite do her justice. She handles all the issues traditionally associated with her medical specialty, such as contraception, surgical sterilization, hysterectomy, hormone therapy, abnormal pap smears, menopausal symptoms and endometriosis. But as an expert in cosmetic gynecology, she also treats more nuanced issues—either lifelong problems or problems that have developed over time—that negatively affect a woman’s quality of life, for physical or psychological reasons. Often these are subjects so personal that a woman might not have discussed them with her own partner. Painful intercourse, for example, is a common symptom of postmenopause. Kennedy can treat the problem either through hormone therapy or MonaLisa Touch, the first laser treatment for vaginal atrophy and dryness, which can make intercourse difficult. In fact, Kennedy’s office is the first practice in Northwest Florida to offer that cutting-edge therapy. That’s par for the course for Kennedy, who has made it her mission to research and become trained in the latest and most effective treatments for gynecological issues, including cosmetic procedures for aesthetic or comfort reasons. She has also broadened the scope of her training to offer nonsurgical treatments for the skin, hair and body, such as Pelleve Wrinkle Reduction, Monat naturally based hair care, and SculpSure Laser Treatment, a body contouring system designed to reduce stubborn fat. “Due to hormonal and chemical changes in the body that cannot be altered, our shape changes through life,” she explains. “This is generally what we mean by ‘stubborn fat’—the kind that even weight loss and exercise will not decrease.” With Kennedy’s menu of professional services, every woman can find a way to feel more comfortable in her own skin.
