MonaLisa Touch

MonaLisa Touch® is a cutting-edge system to treat women with hormone-related problems and changes due to menopause. The system consists of a special slim wand that is inserted into the vagina. The wand uses a laser which internally treats the tissue in the vagina. The use of laser energy promotes the production of collagen naturally to thicken the walls of the vagina and restore a normal and balanced vaginal pH for the normal function of the vaginal mucous membranes. MonaLisa Touch® was specifically designed to be used on vaginal tissue. Without the need for painful surgery or long-term drug use, the MonaLisa Touch treatment produces for great results with little pain. It is relatively painless and no anesthesia or painkillers are required. Most women achieve maximum benefits from a series of three treatments provided 4-6 weeks apart.
