Vaginal dryness, frequent urinary tract infections, incontinence and pain during sex - do those symptoms sound familiar? You’re not alone. In fact, the North American Menopause Society has discovered that between 20 to 45 percent of women will experience vaginal atrophy symptoms at some point. Most suffer in silence.
A quick and painless, FDA-approved laser to treat vaginal changes brought on by estrogen depletion
A lack of estrogen, either due to menopause, childbirth, or cancer treatment, can result in these vaginal changes. So far the only treatment option was to take estrogen either by pill or using a cream. But now a new technology allows you to turn back the clock and feel like yourself again. The MonaLisa Touch is a laser treatment that penetrates the skin and stimulates collagen production, regenerating your vaginal tissue safely and effectively.
MonaLisa Touch is a quick and painless, FDA-approved laser treatment that reverses vaginal changes brought on by estrogen depletion.
The Italians have developed a laser that virtually turns the clock back and rejuvenates the vagina to a pre-menopausal state. Women who can’t take, prefer not to take, or did not benefit from estrogen, now have another option. MonaLisa Touch at a glance:
Quality of life has been restored to so many women who have been suffering in silence. Urinary incontinence is often improved with treatment. The external genitalia can also be treated to improve appearance, symptoms, and lichen sclerosus.
Vaginal atrophy is the thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls. It may occur once your body produces less estrogen, typically after menopause or after cancer treatment. The symptoms of vaginal atrophy might be different for every woman and often include:
MonaLisa Touch is also used to treat lichen sclerosis and other vaginal conditions. While hormone therapy used to be the only treatment option, the MonaLisa Touch allows you to treat symptoms of vaginal atrophy with a laser instead of estrogen pills or creams. Some women want to avoid hormone treatment or simply cannot use estrogen due to estrogen-sensitive cancers.
The MonaLisa Touch is a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatment that uses a CO2 fractional laser to deliver microdots to the vaginal wall and reverse symptoms of vaginal atrophy and laxity.
The simple in-office procedure helps restore your vaginal health by generating new collagen, delivering instant and long-lasting results. It is a minimally invasive, quick, and safe procedure. A wand is inserted into the vagina, and the laser pulses stimulate new collagen production in the vaginal wall. Laser vaginal rejuvenation naturally increases blood flow and lubrication to help improve the natural function of the vagina. If you have troublesome vaginal symptoms or pain during sex, there is every reason to give MonaLisa a try.
"I went to Dr. DuPont because she was highly recommended by a family member. She was caring, understanding, funny, and I felt very comfortable with her. At my first treatment, I was slightly nervous but the medical assistant was so great and attentive, she numbed me and then shortly after we began the procedure. It burned a little at first, but they gave me an ice pack to put on that area afterwards. By the night time I felt the irritation had gone away and I no longer needed the ice. By the next day I was amazed at how much better I felt. Almost back to before I started having this pain. There are 3 treatments that go with this procedure and I go for my second treatment in a few wks. The technology in today’s world is fantastic. Looking forward to more treatments with Dr. DuPont!"- Anonymous
The MonaLisa Touch is a simple in-office procedure that takes just five minutes and requires no anesthesia. In the first year, you will need three treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. After that, you simply need one annual maintenance treatment. The procedure is typically painless. You may experience minimal discomfort at the start from the insertion of the wand. In addition, a topical anesthetic is applied. Washington DC MonaLisa Touch patients describe the feeling as a mild vibration.
Laser energy will be delivered internally to the vaginal tissue by a wand (like an ultrasound wand) to increase collagen production. This results in thickened tissue, more elasticity, and increased moisture and lubrication. The MonaLisa Touch is a game-changer for women. It restores vaginal health better than estrogen without using estrogen.
Studies show that 75 percent of women suffering from vaginal atrophy experience negative consequences in their sex life. The simple MonaLisa Touch laser treatment can be nothing less than life-changing for many women. Not only does the procedure improve your sex life, but it also helps to quickly and safely address many other concerns related to vaginal atrophy.

The MonaLisa Touch is a quick laser procedure that requires no anesthesia. There will be no downtime following the procedure, and you can return to your normal daily activities immediately. However, patients should abstain from sexual intercourse for several days.To help keep you comfortable, we give you an ice pack to apply to the area in the days following the procedure. You won’t need any time off work.
This hormone-free treatment is very well suited for women with breast cancer and other estrogen-sensitive cancers since they cannot use hormone therapy.
You will notice results shortly after the procedure. Those results will progressively improve with each follow-up appointment. The strength of the laser increases with subsequent appointments, which is why we recommend three treatments for optimal results. The results will be long-lasting and only requires an annual re-treatment appointment.
