What is Vaginal RenovaLase ? What is Mona Lisa Touch Vaginal rejuvenation ?

Vaginal atrophy and subsequent dryness of the tissue occurs naturally due to hormonal changes after menopause due to decreasing levels of circulating estrogen. Vaginal mucosa and vulvar skin are sensitive to the effects of estrogen due to presence of estrogen receptors. With progressive loss of tissue laxity this can lead to severe dryness as well as painful intercourse over the course of years. Also lack of tissue collagen may lead to a shift in vaginal microbioma and flora whic leads to recurring infections as well as stress incontinences.


Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) affects approximately 27% to 84% of postmenopausal women and can significantly impair health, sexual function, and quality of life. Genitourinary syndrome of menopause is likely underdiagnosed and undertreated. In most cases, symptoms can be effectively managed. For most patients these are elective procedures meaning they are not life saving however they may improve the quality of life for carefully selected patients. Symptoms may be treated with vaginal and topical estrogen preparations. For some patients the application may be messy and cumbersome.


Laser treatments offer a great alternative and addition to the local estrogen applications for peri and postmenopausal patient who suffers from painful sex and vaginal dryness.

What is the difference between Mona Lisa touch and RenovaLase ?

Mona Lisa Touch vaginal rejuvenation treatment utilizes an ablative laser form called CO2 laser. This enegy is applied to the tissue  directly to cause controlled tissue damage and collagen stimulation. RenovaLase utilizes a non ablative laser energy to achieve vaginal rejuvenation with erbium laser. Dr. Dinc will perform an initial examination to determine the level of vaginal atrophy and present you with appropriate treatment options for your vaginal atrophy treatment options.

What causes vaginal dryness?

Estrogen, produced by your ovaries, is a female hormone that maintains the elastic, moist, and supple skin of the vulva and vagina. After menopause or a hysterectomy, estrogen levels decline and the internal vaginal skin often becomes thin, dry, and fragile, resulting in vaginal dryness. Estrogen levels also decrease during the postpartum period if you are breastfeeding. This low-estrogen vaginal disorder is called vaginal atrophy. Vaginal dryness and early menopause also occurs among breast cancer patients due to chemotherapy or hormonal therapy. Millions of women experience these changes in their gynecologic health as it interferes with their personal lives and daily comfort.

What issues occur as a result of vaginal dryness?

Due to lack of vaginal lubrication and lower estrogen levels, women may experience painful sex due to vaginal dryness, sometimes causing bleeding and vaginal tearing. Vaginal itching and irritation may also occur, as well as an increased risk of vaginal infections.

Many women also suffer silently and those who seek treatment find their options limited. Estrogen replacement is not always a desired option, or in the case of breast cancer patients, an absolute contraindication.

Does the MonaLisa Touch procedure hurt?

The laser energy itself is virtually painless. Some patients report mild discomfort with the laser tip insertion during the first procedure if there is gynecologic dryness.

What is MonaLisa Touch/Femsense?

MonaLisa Touch is a laser treatment for vagina and vulva. It helps restore lubrication by stimulating collagen production after application of laser energy. FemSense is combination of laser treatment with plasma produced from your own blood to help improve the healing process after laser treatment. Growth factors concentrated in plasma help with the production of collagen after the laser treatment which enhances the results of MonaLisa laser treatment
