MonaLisa Touch®

For treatment of vaginal dryness, painful sex, painful urination and vulva discomfort.

MonaLisa Touch® therapy helps restore vaginal health by generating new collagen, elastin and vascularization.

Millions of women may be suffering in silence due to changes to their gynecologic health, but you don’t have to.

Dr. Aluko chose the MonaLisa Touch® because it is backed by extensive clinical studies and evaluation.

A tissue regeneration process lasting numerous weeks is triggered, but stimulation occurs immediately and significant improvements can be seen even after the first treatment.

MonaLisa Touch is a fractional CO2 laser for gynecologic use that delivers energy to tissue. This is followed by your body’s natural healing response.

MonaLisa Touch® is the first and only laser designed specifically for urogynecologic and vaginal use.
