What is MonaLisa Touch?
At our office in West Columbia MonaLisa Touch is for vaginal dryness and atrophy that often occurs after menopause. It is an innovative treatment for vaginal health! Just like you, many post-menopausal women are experiencing changes that can affect a woman’s quality of life in unexpected ways.
MonaLisa Touch is an ideal treatment that is fast, simple, and safe. It includes:
- Three < 5 minute treatments at 6 week intervals

MonaLisa Touch treats the symptoms of vaginal health by generating new collagen, elastin, and vascularization of the vaginal mucosa.

The laser energy is virtually painless.

During your initial consultation at Southern Urogynecology Wellness and Aesthetics, your provider will learn about your symptoms and assess the suitability of MonaLisa Touch for your needs.
On the day of your treatment, a small, disposable probe is gently inserted into the vagina. The MonaLisa Touch laser delivers gentle pulses of energy to the vaginal tissues. The procedure is typically painless and takes a few minutes to complete.

What conditions does MonaLisa Touch address?
With MonaLisa Touch West Columbia patients can expect a safe and effective treatment for vaginal atrophy. Vaginal atrophy can cause a variety of symptoms, including:

- Dyspareunia (painful intercourse): Vaginal dryness and thinning can make intercourse painful.

- Vulvovaginal atrophy: This is a term used to describe vaginal atrophy that also affects the vulva, the external part of the genitals.
A Treatment for Vaginal Atrophy
What are the benefits of MonaLisa Touch?
MonaLisa Touch offers several potential benefits that can significantly improve your vaginal health and well-being:
Renewed Intimacy and Sexual Comfort
- Reduced Vaginal Dryness: MonaLisa Touch stimulates collagen production, leading to thicker, more hydrated vaginal tissues. This can significantly reduce vaginal dryness, making intercourse more comfortable and enjoyable.
- Improved Elasticity: Increased collagen production also enhances vaginal elasticity, potentially leading to a tighter feeling and heightened sexual satisfaction.
- Reduced Painful Intercourse: By addressing vaginal dryness and improving elasticity, MonaLisa Touch can alleviate pain during intercourse (dyspareunia) for many women.
Enhanced Urinary Control
- Strengthened Pelvic Floor: MonaLisa Touch can stimulate the production of collagen in the pelvic floor muscles, improving their tone and strength. Stronger pelvic floor muscles can help with bladder control and reduce the frequency of urinary urgency and leakage.
Overall Vaginal Health
- Reduced Discomfort: MonaLisa Touch can alleviate various symptoms associated with vaginal atrophy, such as burning, itching, and irritation.
- Improved Confidence: By addressing the symptoms of vaginal atrophy, MonaLisa Touch can help improve your overall confidence and well-being in your intimate life.

MonaLisa Touch Recovery
The beauty of MonaLisa Touch is that there's minimal downtime associated with the procedure. You can resume your daily activities immediately following treatment. However, to optimize results and ensure a smooth recovery, you will need to follow some aftercare guidelines:
- Abstain from sexual intercourse for 3 days: This allows the treated tissues time to heal.
- Avoid douching or using harsh soaps in the vaginal area: Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers to maintain a healthy vaginal pH.
- Wear loose-fitting cotton underwear: This allows for proper ventilation and prevents irritation.
- Drink plenty of water: Staying hydrated can help improve vaginal lubrication.
