MonaLisa Touch technology
The MonaLisa Touch laser treatment is a modern and effective method of vaginal rejuvenation that is becoming increasingly popular amongst women all over the world.
At the Medcross Medical Centre, we offer treatment using the latest generation of MonaLisa Touch equipment, specifically designed to tackle stress incontinence and vaginal atrophy. The technology uses a laser beam to create micro-pores and stimulate new tissue growth, which helps restore the natural tone of the vaginal walls.
The procedure is minimally invasive and does not require a recovery period.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Mona Lisa Touch laser and how does it work?
The MonaLisa Touch laser is a modern and highly effective treatment that has been in widespread use for 6–7 years in the fields of gynaecology, aesthetic laser medicine and urology. Its main aim is to improve the quality of life for modern women.
The laser works by emitting a specialised beam that performs two main functions: it creates micropores in the vaginal tissue and heats these areas. This process stimulates the formation of new, fresh tissue in the area that has been treated by the laser. After 2–3 months, the tone of the vaginal walls improves, and the negative effects of childbirth or ageing are significantly reduced. Women with stress incontinence, for example, often report a positive effect as early as after the first session. When the vaginal walls tighten, the angle between the urethra and the bladder returns to its physiological value, which is the primary effect of the Mona Lisa Touch method.
What other applications does the MonaLisa Touch laser have?
The MonaLisa Touch laser has other applications besides the treatment of vaginal atrophy. It can also be used for surgical procedures, as well as for cosmetic treatments such as lightening a heavily pigmented vulva. Furthermore, it is effective at regulating pigmentation anywhere on the body, including the face, which helps to even out skin tone and reduce dark spots. The MonaLisa Touch laser is also used successfully to improve the appearance of the skin, including the treatment of wrinkles, scars and stretch marks. Its technology stimulates collagen production, resulting in smoother and firmer skin.
What does it feel like, and is there any pain during the MonaLisa Touch treatment?
One of the main advantages of this treatment is that it is virtually painless. The laser operates at a power of 40 watts, with each pulse lasting 0.4 parts of a second. The only sensation felt is a slight prickling for a second or two, similar to that experienced during laser hair removal. The MonaLisa Touch procedure is painless and does not require a hospital stay or recovery at home. The treatment itself lasts 2–3 minutes – less time than is needed to prepare the patient before the procedure.
What are the main concerns that lead women to opt for this procedure?
We are often approached by women who, following one or two – or more – natural births, have noticed unfavourable changes in their sex life, such as a sensation of a loose vagina and somewhat slackened vaginal walls. These anatomical changes can lead to reduced pleasure during intimacy with a partner.
The second group of women comprises those of more advanced age who experience problems such as involuntary urine leakage and vaginal dryness, which significantly impair their daily lives.
Who is the MonaLisa Touch treatment not suitable for?
It is essential to assess the condition of the cervix beforehand. If the patient has cancer, lesions or severe cervical inflammation, the MonaLisa Touch procedure cannot be carried out. Although the method is extremely safe and does not cause any serious side effects, careful attention must be paid to every detail to ensure the patient’s optimal safety.
How many sessions are included in a course of MonaLisa Touch laser treatment?
Three sessions are usually carried out, with a 28-day interval between each one. The actual results become apparent about a month after the final session. Most women report an improved sensation during sexual intercourse and a renewed sense of pleasure during intimate moments with their partner.
Depending on how you feel, the treatment may be repeated once between 6 and 12 months after completing the initial course.
Is there a maximum number of procedures?
Recommendations for MonaLisa Touch vaginal reconstruction procedures are determined strictly on an individual basis, according to the patient’s needs and condition. Women are advised to have annual check-ups and then undergo maintenance sessions to preserve the results achieved. For those who have experienced stress incontinence, maintenance sessions are particularly important for slowing down the ageing process.
