Monalisa Touch in Houston, TX

What is the MonaLisa Touch®?

In case you haven’t heard, the MonaLisa Touch® is an FDA-approved and innovative procedure designed to help alleviate the concerns of women experiencing vaginal discomfort and/or painful sex due to feminine dryness. In fact, issues of vaginal health are commonly seen in menopausal women, breast cancer survivors, and women who have had a hysterectomy. Nearly half of all US menopausal women, and over 2.8 million breast cancer survivors, suffer from changes to their vaginal health*. Resulting problems, such as dryness and vaginal discomfort, can impact sexual activity and well-being.

Why the MonaLisa Touch® is so Remarkable

The MonaLisa Touch® uses laser energy to revitalize the cells of the vagina and vaginal walls by stimulating collagen and vascular growth. This results in improved moisture, flexibility, and thicker tissue. Revitalization results in less burning, cracking and dryness during daily activities and intercourse. This treatment is safe and well-suited for all symptomatic women at any age.

For women who cannot, or choose not to, take hormones, this is an ideal non-hormonal treatment for vaginal discomfort.
