02 Mar Why Many Women Seek MonaLisa Touch During Menopause
The transition through menopause often brings physical changes that can affect vaginal comfort and overall intimate wellness. Many women experience dryness, irritation, or discomfort that can interfere with daily activities or intimacy.
The MonaLisa Touch is a specialized laser treatment designed to support vaginal tissue health by stimulating collagen production and improving blood flow. This non-surgical option is often considered by women who want to address vaginal dryness and tissue changes without relying solely on hormonal therapies.
At Entice Intimate Wellness + Aesthetics, care is centered on helping women understand their options for maintaining vaginal health during menopause. Many patients notice that as estrogen levels decline, vaginal tissues may lose some of their natural moisture and elasticity.
Led by Dr. Wesley Anne Brady, the practice provides personalized care in a private, all-female environment where women can comfortably discuss changes related to menopause and intimate wellness.
Understanding Vaginal Changes During Menopause
When estrogen levels decrease during menopause, vaginal tissues can become thinner, drier, and less elastic. This condition is often referred to as genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM).
Common symptoms may include:
- Vaginal dryness
- Burning or irritation
- Pain during intimacy
- Increased sensitivity or discomfort
- Recurrent urinary symptoms
These changes occur because estrogen plays an important role in maintaining vaginal tissue thickness, moisture, and blood circulation. As hormone levels decline, many women begin to notice gradual changes in comfort and tissue health.
While hormone replacement therapy may help address systemic symptoms for some women, others may prefer localized treatment options that focus directly on vaginal tissue health.

How MonaLisa Touch Works
MonaLisa Touch uses a fractional CO₂ laser designed specifically for vaginal tissue. The laser delivers controlled energy to the vaginal lining through a small treatment probe.
This process creates tiny micro-stimulation points that encourage the body’s natural healing response. Over time, the body may increase collagen production and improve blood flow within the treated tissue.
These regenerative changes may help support:
- Improved vaginal tissue hydration
- Increased tissue elasticity
- Healthier blood circulation
- Improved overall vaginal tissue quality
Because the treatment works by stimulating the body’s natural regenerative response, improvements often develop gradually over time.
What to Expect During MonaLisa Touch Treatment
Many women appreciate that the procedure is relatively quick and performed in the office.
During treatment:
- A small laser probe is gently inserted into the vaginal canal.
- The device delivers controlled laser energy along the vaginal wall.
- The treatment typically takes only a few minutes.
Most women describe the sensation as mild warmth or vibration. The procedure does not usually require anesthesia.
After treatment, patients can typically return to normal daily activities the same day. Your provider may recommend a short period of pelvic rest to allow tissues to recover.
Treatment plans often include a series of three sessions spaced several weeks apart, although recommendations may vary depending on your symptoms and goals.
MonaLisa Touch as Part of a Comprehensive Treatment Plan
For some women, MonaLisa Touch may be combined with other therapies to address multiple symptoms related to menopause and vaginal health.
Depending on your needs, your provider may recommend treatments such as:
- O-Shot PRP therapy, which uses platelet-rich plasma to support tissue health and circulation
- Votiva vaginal rejuvenation, a radiofrequency treatment designed to improve tissue elasticity and hydration
