MonaLisa Touch® laser therapy
A TREATMENT TO EASE THE SYMPTOMS OF POOR VAGINAL HEALTH
A vaginal rejuvenation therapy that uses lasers to reshape and regenerate vaginal tissue that may have started to degenerate
About laser therapy
MonaLisa Touch® works by applying a gentle laser therapy to your vaginal walls. This stimulates the production of new collagen, rehydrating and tightening the membrane lining of your vaginal wall.
Your consultant will administer treatment in tiny dots, meaning only a tiny area is affected at a time.
Need to know
The laser gently acts on your vaginal walls through a special scanner, creating indistinguishable micro-lesions that are required for triggering the production of new collagen, which is the main protein found in structural tissue. The laser’s action safely and painlessly reactivates the proper function of the vaginal structures, while also improving the symptoms associated with mild urinary incontinence.
A tissue regeneration process lasting several weeks is triggered. Stimulation occurs immediately and improvements can be seen after the first treatment. This minimally invasive, painless procedure is usually completed in five minutes.
Your consultant will let you know how best to prepare for this procedure.
No recovery time is needed. You’ll be able to leave the hospital immediately afterwards and carry on with your normal daily activities. You should start seeing improvements in your symptoms after one treatment, but three treatments are often required to maximise improvements. Vaginal laxity, itching, burning, dryness and pain during sex should all be significantly reduced.

A new hip and straight back into the spin of things
David’s gym video shows him repeatedly pushing up to 100kg on a single leg press – not particularly unusual for this keen cyclist, former competitive squash player and all-round fitness enthusiast. What is unusual is that 52-year-old David had hip surgery just 12 weeks earlier.
