Am I A Candidate for MonaLisa Touch™?
Hormonal changes are a natural part of life. When women enter menopause, either naturally or because of cancer treatments or surgical procedures, estrogen production declines. The lack of estrogen can cause symptoms like vaginal dryness, itching, urinary incontinence and pain during intercourse which can profoundly impact your life. The MonaLisa Touch™ treatment can help relieve your symptoms by encouraging new collagen growth to restore vaginal health and functionality.

What is the MonaLisa Touch™?
The MonaLisa Touch is an innovative laser designed to treat vaginal atrophy, or genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) and symptoms like vaginal dryness, itching and burning that are caused by hormonal changes.

The MonaLisa Touch safely stimulates new collagen production to help restore vaginal health and alleviate discomfort caused by hormonal changes.
What conditions does the MonaLisa Touch treat?

How does the MonaLisa Touch treatment work?
The MonaLisa Touch treatment is performed using a special CO2 fractional laser, specifically designed for this type of application. The procedure is carried out in a medical practice and usually does not require anesthesia. The laser application itself lasts less than five minutes! Typically, three treatments are needed over the course of 12 weeks to deliver the best results.
Is anesthesia required?
No, the procedure does not usually require anesthetic. However, if a patient prefers, an anesthetic cream can be applied prior to treatment to help reduce discomfort.
Are there any risks?

What are the benefits of this treatment?
The MonaLisa Touch helps alleviate symptoms related to estrogen deficiencies and genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), a widespread problem among pre- and post-menopausal women. By stimulating collagen production in the vaginal walls, the treatment can restore the vagina’s function and eliminate troublesome itching, irritation and pain, which often become particularly acute during intercourse. As a result, patients feel more comfortable and their intimate relationships are enhanced.
What is the recovery like?
Since laser vaginal revitalization is minimally invasive, patients can return home to recover following the procedure. Patients should refrain from sexual activity for two or three days following treatment, but can otherwise resume their normal routines. Your doctor will give you specific recommendations to ensure a speedy recovery.
What type of results can I expect?
Most patients report a reduction in symptoms such as dryness, burning, itching and pain during intercourse, which substantially improves their quality of life. Though three sessions are recommended, patients will start to notice results after the first treatment.

“It was my gynecologist who first talked to me about MonaLisa Touch. With this treatment I resolved the problems related to menopause that I suffered from, especially vaginal dryness. I had suffered from these problems for a few years and had tried everything: creams, treatments but with no result, sometimes the pain was so strong that it was even difficult to walk.”
“After a cancer treatment, I asked my gynecologist what could be the treatment options to relieve discomfort of vaginal dryness. My doctor mentioned a laser treatment MonaLisa Touch and explained everything. I have followed the whole protocol treatment (3 treatment sessions at 1 month apart). It felt amazing to have this sensation of comfort, along with a natural hydration. I was happy to get rid of the substitution products like gels and creams, which can be helpful, but very fastidious.”
“After my second pregnancy I had problems because of vaginal laxity. I tried several options unsuccessfully. MonaLisa Touch helped me a lot in improving my conditions and set my intimate life better. Thanks MonaLisa Touch!”
