The MonaLisa TouchTM is a newly FDA approved laser treatment for menopause symptoms, painful intercourse, feminine dryness and urinary dysfunction. I began treating both menopausal patients and breast cancer survivors in early 2015. One of the questions I am frequently asked is “What is the success rate”? It is challenging to quantify success as all patients have improvement; it’s a matter of how much improvement.

What were the results from the MonaLisa Touch laser treatment?
Twelve patients successfully completed all three treatments with the MonaLisa Touch laser since mid-February. Many more patients are well on their way to restoring feminine health. I am pleased to report results have exceeded my expectations and are very much in line with the clinical papers about the MonaLisa Touch.
Patients report that the first laser treatment of three has the most significant results occurring within a few days.
After the second MonaLisa Touch laser treatment, over 90% of patients have experienced relief from symptoms including dryness and irritation, painful intercourse, and improved urinary symptoms. Intercourse was reported as being more pleasurable and without pain. In the more severe cases I’ve had patients say that it no longer hurts to walk.
Breast cancer survivors, who are growing in numbers due to advances in medicine, can have many side effects caused by chemotherapy. Side effects include menopause symptoms and feminine dryness. Estrogen induced breast cancer survivors cannot treat vaginal dryness, with traditional care that includes Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). The MonaLisa Touch laser treatment is hormone free with no side effects.
