MonaLisa Touch

As we age, estrogen levels decline, which causes the vaginal walls to weaken and dry out.

MonaLisa Touch (MLT) is an innovative, non-hormonal laser treatment which can help with vaginal dryness, discomfort during sex and urinary incontinence.

The MLT regenerates collagen in the membrane lining of the vaginal wall, plumping and tightening the tissue.

MonaLisa Touch helps alleviate the following symptoms:

• Pain during sexual activity
• Reduced lubrication of the vagina
• Burning or stinging of the vulva or vaginal genitalia
• General dryness and pain in the vagina
• A burning sensation when urinating
• A pressing urge to use the restroom
• Ongoing bladder infections
• A tendency to leak urine
• Light bleeding or spotting following sexual activity
• Pain or discomfort during sexual activity
• Minor bleeding or spotting following exercise

For whom is MonaLisa Touch Laser Therapy appropriate?

• Any woman going through menopause or perimenopause
• Those who have postnatal problems or vaginal laxity as a result of childbirth injury may also benefit from the therapy.

Because MonaLisa Touch Laser Therapy does not include oestrogen, it is a safe alternative for people who cannot use Hormone Replacement Therapy.

This comprises:

• Women who underwent surgical menopause, such as those whose both ovaries were removed,
• Women who received hormonal, chemotherapeutic, or radiotherapeutic treatment for breast cancer

Oestrogen levels are reduced in women who use oestrogen-inhibiting drugs, such as those prescribed for oestrogen-sensitive cancer.

What can I expect from the MonaLisa Touch (MLT) procedure?

The treatment just takes a few minutes and causes a little discomfort; anaesthesia is typically not needed. MLT has the advantage of being less invasive and risk-free for neighbouring tissues. What level of laser treatment you require will be determined by our professional nurse. Some women claim to experience a mild sensation and, if the settings need to be increased, a tiny bit of discomfort, but this is tolerable.

On the same day, you'll be able to leave the clinic and resume your regular activities, though you should wait three days before engaging in any sexual activity.

What is the MonaLisa Touch (MLT) Laser Treatment?

Mona Lisa laser treatment does not require much prior preparation. The specialist introduces a special head into the vagina and through it, micro-injuries are performed, which lead to regeneration and the production of new cells. Thanks to this, the entire mucous membrane is rebuilt, thus shrinking the vagina. After such therapy, the production of glycogen, which is responsible for hydration, is also stimulated.
