Monalisa Touch Specialist

What is the MonaLisa Touch?

The MonaLisa Touch uses laser energy to treat vaginal atrophy and dryness that often occurs with menopause or other hormone changes.

It’s a hormone-free, painless therapy that effectively revitalizes vaginal tissue so you regain confidence and comfort.

Am I a candidate for MonaLisa Touch?

Women going through menopause or who have recently given birth experience a reduction in the female hormone estrogen production. The tissue in the vaginal region thins and becomes drier as a result.

The laser energy of MonaLisa Touch can restore the health of this tissue, addressing issues such as:

• Vaginal dryness
• Vulvar itching
• Painful sexual intercourse due to insufficient lubrication or lost elasticity
• Mild urinary incontinence
• Problems reaching orgasm
• Frequent urinary tract or vaginal infections
• Thinning vaginal and vulvar tissue
• Vaginal laxity

If you suffer from any of these issues and want an effective, non-surgical solution, MonaLisa Touch might be for you. 

While the doctors may recommend MonaLisa Touch therapy in conjunction with hormone therapy, it’s also effective on its own if you prefer not to use hormones during menopause.

What happens during MonaLisa Touch treatment?

The providers at Nile Women’s Health Care provide MonaLisa Touch treatments right in the office. The procedure requires no anesthesia, sedation, or numbing creams, and you lay on an exam table like you would for a pelvic exam. 

The doctor inserts a sterile probe into your vagina to deliver the gentle heat energy to the inside and outside of your vaginal area.

Once the treatment is complete, you can return to your daily activities. MonaLisa Touch requires no downtime, but you should refrain from sexual intercourse and use of a tampon for 2-3 days following your session.

The entire laser treatment takes just five minutes. You’ll feel warmth and tingling during the procedure, but patients often find it comfortable.

How does MonaLisa Touch work?

The laser energy of MonaLisa Touch stimulates the production of collagen, an important protein component of tissue that enhances suppleness and strength. As a result, you get increased moisture levels in the vaginal canal and firmer, more resilient tissue. 

You’ll start to see results after your first session, but optimal results are achieved after a series of three sessions, spaced about six weeks apart.
