What is MonaLisa Touch®?
The MonaLisa Touch is the first FDA approved laser rejuvenation system designed specifically to help address the symptoms of vaginal atrophy, including dryness, painful intercourse and increased vaginal infections. Developed to stimulate collagen production in the vaginal walls and restore the natural pH balance of the vagina, the MonaLisa Touch is painless, requires no incisions or anesthesia, and can be performed in just a few minutes right in the doctor's office. There's no recovery time, and maximum results can be achieved in just three quick sessions. The MonaLisa Touch is ideal for women in menopause as well as other women who have experienced a decline in their natural estrogen levels.
