Learn more about how MonaLisaTouch® works:

The MonaLisa Touch therapy uses a unique vaginal probe to deliver a gentle fractional CO₂ laser energy to the vaginal wall tissue. The laser energy targets the atrophic vaginal mucosa by stimulating a metabolic reaction and neocollagenesis. This results in increased vascularization, elastin and collagen which means increased moisture and lubrication in the vagina.

Immediate and Lasting Results:

Three 5 minute treatments at 6 week intervals
In-office procedure
Requires no anesthesia
Minimal side effects
No downtime
Symptom relief after just one treatment
Annual follow up treatment once a year*

*Your doctor will determine with you if follow-up treatments are required

Frequently Asked Questions About The MonaLisa Touch® Procedure

What are the benefits of this treatment?

MonaLisa Touch allows for a functional restoration of the vagina, which helps fight and attenuate symptoms related to vaginal atrophy, a widespread problem among pre and postmenopausal women. Thanks to its action on factors that determine dryness, fragility and loss of mucosal elasticity, this treatment can eliminate troublesome itching, irritation and pain, which become particularly acute during intercourse. The interaction with the laser is, in fact, the ideal way to stimulate collagen contained in the vaginal walls for the rehydration and restoration of function tissue. Its beneficial action can contribute to improve self-confidence and sexual pleasure.

Is it painful?

No, usually no anesthesia required. The sensation is a light vibration.

For which women is the MonaLisa Touch most suitable?

For any women who want to prevent or treat vaginal symptoms due to estrogenic decrease (in menopause, after a childbirth, or after a cancer treatment). Most common symptoms include: vaginal dryness, laxity, burning, pain during sexual intercourse, and mild urinary incontinence. MonaLisa Touch is the ideal treatment for those who are looking for a less invasive procedure, compared to traditional surgical or pharmaceutical treatments. Remember, no one can advise you better about MonaLisa Touch and what is best for you to achieve best results than your doctor.

What type of results can I expect?

Most treated patients report a reduction in dryness, burning sensation, pain during intercourse, and urinary symptoms which contribute to a substantial improvement in quality of life. These results are possible, thanks to the stimulation of the mucosa.

What happens after the procedure?

Depending on the laser procedure, your doctor may recommend you refrain from sexual activity for 2-3 days. Generally, patients can return to normal activities afterwards. Your doctor will determine a post-procedure regimen that is right for you.
