What is MonaLisa Touch®?

MonaLisa Touch® is a nonsurgical laser treatment designed to improve vaginal health and relieve symptoms caused by hormonal changes, aging, or menopause. The treatment uses gentle fractional CO2 laser technology to stimulate collagen production and encourage healthy tissue regeneration inside the vaginal canal. As tissue becomes healthier and more hydrated, many women notice improved comfort and reduced irritation.

At Southwest Florida Women’s Group, the team offers MonaLisa Touch as an option for women who want symptom relief without hormones, surgery, or extended recovery time. They perform the treatment in the office, and it typically takes only a few minutes.

What symptoms can MonaLisa Touch help treat?

MonaLisa Touch may help improve many symptoms related to vaginal atrophy or genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), including:

• Vaginal dryness
• Burning or itching
• Pain during intimacy
• Vaginal laxity or discomfort
• Urinary urgency or frequency
• Mild urinary leakage
• Recurrent urinary tract infections
• Irritation caused by thinning vaginal tissue

Many women seek treatment when these symptoms begin to affect daily comfort, relationships, or quality of life.

What should I expect during a MonaLisa Touch treatment?

Before treatment, your provider reviews your symptoms, medical history, and goals to decide whether MonaLisa Touch is an appropriate option for you. During the procedure, your provider gently inserts a small laser device into your vaginal canal. The laser delivers controlled energy to the tissue to promote natural healing and collagen production.

Most women describe the procedure as quick and tolerable, with little to no pain. Treatment sessions usually last about 10 minutes or less. There’s very little downtime afterward since the procedure is minimally invasive. 

You should be able to return to your normal daily activities the same day, though your provider may recommend avoiding intercourse for a short period after treatment.

How many MonaLisa Touch sessions do most patients need?

Many women benefit from a series of three initial treatments spaced several weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on your symptoms, tissue health, and treatment goals. 

Some patients notice improvement after the first session, while others experience gradual results over time as collagen production increases.

Your provider may recommend maintenance treatments periodically to help preserve long-term results and continued symptom relief.
