Vaginal dryness is not a minor irritation. This can seriously impact daily health and intimacy. It can occur at any time to women of any age, but it most often occurs during menopause, when production of estrogen and progesterone slows — and eventually stops.

All women experience the eventual cessation of your menstrual cycle as a result of these hormonal changes, but other changes — including less lubrication and pain during sexual intercourse — also occur. Estrogen no longer prompts your body to produce as much of the lubrication that thinly lines the vaginal walls. Along with the reduction in moisture, your vagina also becomes thinner and less elastic, which further contributes to pain during intercourse. During sex the vagina is not able to create the moisture necessary for comfort and pleasure.

The  MonaLisa Touch provides a state-of-the-art, safe alternative to vaginal estrogen pills or creams. The laser delivers laser energy to the vaginal wall, which stimulates the production of collagen and increases blood supply to the vaginal lining— this supports the strength, lubrication and suppleness of your tissues. Healthy, moist, pink flexible tissue replaces the thin atrophied dry vaginal tissue. As a result, you’ll experience renewed:

​

• Confidence

• Sexual pleasure

• Comfort

The procedure is performed in the office in just 5-10 minutes.  It has essentially no side effects and very little downtime. You completely eliminate the cost and risks of prescribed estrogens.

The MonaLisa Touch laser sessions last just a few minutes. During this time, the doctor gently inserts a vaginal probe into your vagina. The probe emits the healing laser energy. It’s well-tolerated by most patients and described as being “virtually painless.”

While you will likely notice improvement after the first treatment, three treatments are scheduled six weeks apart for optimal results. It is recommended that you have a follow up “touch up” treatment once a year.
