FAQs

What is the MonaLisa Touch?

MonaLisa touch is an in-office laser treatment that utilizes fractional CO2 laser energy to penetrate your soft vaginal tissues. The unique technology used in the procedure creates more-concentrated energy to produce better and longer-lasting results.

The easy and fast service allows you to usually find relief from symptoms of vaginal atrophy or menopause that can cause you discomfort and pain.* The treatment usually only takes five minutes and has minimal downtime. The MonaLisa Touch may take multiple treatments to achieve results and lasting relief from symptoms.

Although it can vary from patient to patient, you may benefit from touch-up treatments every year to maintain optimal results.
What happens during the MonaLisa Touch laser treatment?

The MonaLisa Touch treatment is a quick and easy procedure. Dr. Epstein works hard to make you feel comfortable and offers a supportive and inviting environment. The treatment includes the use of a probe that Dr. Epstein inserts into your vagina. The laser treatment then begins, with a repetitive firing of the laser that gives you more concentrated results.

Patients typically don’t need any anesthesia for the treatment and usually have very minimal downtime.
What is the recovery like after the MonaLisa Touch laser treatment?

Dr. Epstein usually tells her patients to avoid sexual activity for two to three days to give time for the area to heal properly and not cause any discomfort or pain. Other than that, patients generally are able to continue their normal day-to-day routine. The easy recovery and short in-office procedure make it a great fit for most patients. Usually, patients feel relief after the first treatment.

Dr. Epstein can help you find the right post procedure regime that will work for your needs.
Am I a good candidate for the MonaLisa Touch laser treatment?

Dr. Epstein recommends the treatment for women who have discomfort or pain from menopause or vaginal atrophy due to hormonal changes. Symptoms can include vaginal dryness, pain during sexual intercourse, and other gynecological concerns. She typically recommends three treatments in a 12-week period.
