MonaLisa Touch - an Advanced Way to Treat Vaginal Atrophy

MonaLisa® Touch is an innovative laser therapy explicitly designed to address the needs of women experiencing vaginal atrophy and/or dryness, conditions often caused by decreased estrogen levels during menopause, perimenopause, or after specific medical treatments.

At Colorado Springs Urology, this therapy uses advanced laser technology to stimulate collagen production and restore the vaginal mucosa, enhancing tissue health and elasticity. Clinical studies have tested MonaLisa® Touch, to provide both quick and lasting relief from symptoms such as dryness, discomfort during intercourse, itching, and irritation. By offering a non-hormonal and minimally invasive option, it helps women regain confidence and enhance their overall quality of life.

The treatment is non-invasive, almost painless, and each session is completed in under ten minutes. During the procedure, the practitioner gently uses a small probe (wand) to deliver controlled laser energy into the soft tissue of your vaginal walls. The treatment stimulates collagen production, which improves moisture levels and reduces many painful symptoms often experienced during intercourse.

A topical anesthetic is applied before each session to numb the area, minimizing discomfort. Side effects are uncommon and minor. For your safety, avoid sexual activity for 72 hours after each session.

Up to half of postmenopausal women in the U.S. experience vaginal atrophy due to decreased estrogen levels. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, this therapy might be right for you:

• Pain during sex
• Vaginal dryness and itching
• Burning while urinating
• Frequent urinary tract infections

The best way to determine if MonaLisa Touch is suitable for you is to schedule a consultation with one of our specialists. During your appointment, we will review your medical history and discuss your concerns. Then, we will work with you to decide if this treatment is the right fit for your needs.
