How it Works
Step 1
The MonaLisa Touch in Houston is a minimally invasive, painless, in-office laser treatment for women who want to restore their pelvic health to the way it was before menopause.
If you're dealing with pelvic health issues, our team will perform an initial consultation and determine whether or not this treatment is best for your specific needs.
Step 2
For the treatment, a fractional CO2 laser uses focused heat energy to rejuvenate the vaginal walls, in a quick and painless 5-minute procedure.
MonaLisa Touch pinpoints areas of unhealthy vaginal tissue, gently removes them, and stimulates the remaining tissue into self-rejuvenation. The laser awakens dormant cells in the vaginal wall to increase the blood vessels, collagen and elastin.
Step 3
As the weeks progress, the tissue continues to grow healthier. As a result, intercourse is much more comfortable.
The typical patient needs 3 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The beneficial effects last for about a year, and we recommend one annual touch-up treatment to maintain healthy vaginal walls.
Benefits of MonaLisa Touch in Houston
MonaLisa Touch is ideal for women who have gone through menopause, breast cancer treatment, or have abnormal or painful vaginal walls. Estrogen is what keeps this area healthy. When levels decline during menopause, vaginal walls become thin and inelastic. During breast cancer treatment, medications including Tamoxifen, Femara, Arimidex, and Aromasin block the effects of estrogen and cause medical menopause. Another benefit of MonaLisa Touch is improved bladder control.
After treatment, women experience less urine leakage that may occur with exercise, coughing or sneezing, and a reduction of the urgent “gotta go” feeling.
MonaLisa Touch® also reduces the risk of urinary tract infections, because of the restored healthy vaginal flora.
The pH of the vagina normalizes with the growth of beneficial lactobacillus bacteria, which prevents overgrowth of E.coli and other bacteria that cause bladder infections.

Your MonaLisa Touch Results
Because there are no side effects, you can resume your normal activities immediately. After the first treatment you will notice more comfortable intercourse, because the laser has stimulated blood flow to the area, resulting in better lubrication. The healthier environment leads to a vibrant, normal flora which better protects you from vaginal and bladder infections.
