MonaLisa Touch® Laser Therapy in Auburn, CA

What is MonaLisa Touch laser therapy?

MonaLisa Touch® is a laser-based treatment option offered for certain vaginal health symptoms associated with decreased estrogen levels, such as those that may occur with menopause or some medical treatments.

MonaLisa Touch® is an FDA-cleared, state-of-the-art laser treatment designed to address vaginal changes caused by decreased estrogen levels due to:

• Menopause
• Hysterectomy
• Breast cancer treatments

These hormonal changes can lead to uncomfortable symptoms that affect daily life and intimacy.

Common Symptoms Treated Include:

• Vaginal dryness
• Itching or irritation
• Inflammation
• Loss of elasticity
• Thinning of vaginal tissue
• Painful intercourse
• Urinary incontinence

MonaLisa Touch uses fractional CO₂ laser energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing response and promote collagen production, improving vaginal tissue health and function.

What does MonaLisa Touch treatment involve?

MonaLisa Touch is quick, gentle, and requires no downtime.

If Dr. Dunn determines you are a good candidate, here’s what you can expect:

• A small probe is gently inserted into the vaginal canal
• Controlled laser energy is delivered to the tissue
• Each treatment takes about 5 minutes
• Total appointment time is approximately 30 minutes

Treatment Benefits:

• No anesthesia required
• Minimal discomfort
• No downtime
• Resume normal daily activities immediately

Patients are typically advised to avoid sexual intercourse for a few days following treatment.

What results can I expect from MonaLisa Touch?

Many women notice improvement within the first week of treatment. As collagen production increases, results continue to improve over time.

Expected Results May Include:

• Reduced vaginal dryness and irritation
• Improved elasticity and tissue health
• Decreased pain during intercourse
• Better bladder control

Dr. Dunn typically recommends a series of three treatments spaced 6–8 weeks apart, followed by annual maintenance treatments to sustain results.

MonaLisa Touch is a highly effective, non-surgical alternative to traditional treatments. It addresses the underlying cause of vaginal atrophy, not just the symptoms, making it an excellent option for women seeking long-lasting relief without medication or surgery.
