What is MonaLisa Touch?

MonaLisa Touch is a gynecological laser tool that allows for the functional restoration of your vaginal tissue. When the gentle laser energy contacts your vaginal tissue, it stimulates the production of collagen, which is the protein responsible for tissue strength, elasticity, and hydration.

Am I a good candidate for MonaLisa Touch?

The team at Grapevine Women's Health and Gynecology, LLC determines if you’re a good candidate for MonaLisa Touch after an examination and review of your symptoms and medical history.

The advanced laser tool is most often recommended to women experiencing the vaginal changes that occur from the fluctuations in hormone levels during menopause.

You may benefit from treatment with MonaLisa Touch if you’re experiencing:

• Vaginal dryness, itching, or pain
• Laxity
• Pain during intercourse
  

The laser treatment may also help improve mild urinary incontinence by strengthening your vaginal muscles for better bladder control.

What can I expect during treatment with MonaLisa Touch?

MonaLisa Touch is a gentle and quick procedure the team at Grace Gynecology & Wellness conducts at the office. The treatment is so gentle that anesthesia isn’t needed. During treatment, the MonaLisa Touch wand is inserted in your vagina to deliver the laser energy to your tissue. The entire procedure takes 10 minutes or less.

After treatment, you may experience some minor discomfort, but most women can resume their usual activities within one to three days. You should avoid vaginal intercourse and the use of tampons, as well as strenuous activity, until the tissue heals. The Grapevine Women's Health and Gynecology, LLC team provides individualized instructions for the fastest recovery.

How many treatments do I need?

For the best results, you may need up to three sessions with MonaLisa Touch set at four- to six-week intervals. The team at Grapevine Women's Health and Gynecology, LLC knows one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to women’s health and provides you with an individualized treatment plan that maximizes your benefits.

After you’ve completed the recommended sessions, the results of treatment should last up to a year. To maintain vaginal health, Grapevine Women's Health and Gynecology, LLC recommends annual touch-ups with MonaLisa Touch.
