Preparation
A consultation with our female doctor will ensure that the procedure is appropriate for the patient’s symptoms. If the patient has a history of genital herpes, prophylactic antiviral medication must be taken prior to the procedure.
Consultation with our Doctor (Consultation cost waivered on courses)£99The treatment itself takes no longer than 15 minutes. While improvement occurs after one treatment it is recommended that three treatments a month apart are performed to gain maximum benefit. Patients can return to normal activities immediately with no downtime. It is however recommended that patients refrain from sexual activity for 3-5 days. Your doctor will determine a post-procedure regimen that is right for you. Patients should expect to come back annually for a maintenance treatment.
Treatable Areas
Vaginal canal, vaginal entrance (introitus), vulva and labia, peri-urethral area, perineal scar tissue.Learn more about
Sometimes called Monalisa therapy, this technology delivers precise columns of fractional CO₂ energy to rejuvenate tissue from within. As a result, the mucosa becomes better hydrated, thicker, and more elastic – supporting comfort, confidence, and everyday quality of life. At rtwskin clinic in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, our specialists provide this proven Monalisa Touch treatment for women seeking natural tissue regeneration and renewed quality of life.
Vaginal atrophy, dryness, itching, post-menopausal changes, mild laxity, urinary urgency.
None required; numbing cream optional for sensitive patients.
Around 20–30 minutes per session.
Mild redness or swelling for 1–2 days.
Minimal; normal activities can usually resume the next day.
Results build gradually; maintenance may be recommended every 12–18 months.
Keep area clean, avoid intercourse or tampons for two weeks, use soothing gels if advised.
Which Areas Can It Treat?
- Vaginal canal:
Improves lubrication, elasticity and pH balance for more comfortable daily life and intimacy.
- Introitus (entrance):
Targets micro-tears and fragility at the opening, reducing stinging and post-activity soreness.
- Vulva/labia:
Surface revitalisation for delicate skin that feels dry or irritable.
- Peri-urethral zone:
Supportive remodelling that can complement care pathways for urinary incontinence (mild stress symptoms).
- Perineal scar tissue:
Post-birth or surgical scarring can be softened to relieve tightness and improve flexibility.
How It Works
The MonaLisa Touch® works by gently delivering fractional CO₂ laser energy to the vaginal mucosa. This laser stimulates collagen production and improves blood flow, encouraging the regeneration of healthy tissue. Over the following weeks, the treated area becomes more hydrated, elastic, and resilient.
Unlike traditional surgery, this laser Mona Lisa procedure is quick, precise, and virtually pain-free. Each pulse targets the deeper layers of the mucosa while leaving the surrounding tissue intact, promoting rapid healing and visible improvement.

Preparation Before the Procedure
Before treatment, you’ll have a full consultation. A test patch is performed at least 24 hours prior to ensure safety and comfort.
In the days leading up to your session:
- Stay well-hydrated.
- Avoid anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medication.
- Inform your practitioner if you have diabetes or any chronic condition.
- Ensure no signs of infection or menstruation on the treatment day.
How the Procedure Is Performed
After confidential consultation and suitability checks, the clinician performs the Mona Lisa laser procedure in a private treatment room. A slim, single-use sterile probe is introduced and rotated gently while controlled pulses are delivered along the canal; if indicated, external areas are treated with surface passes. Most sessions take 15–30 minutes, typically without anaesthetic (you may feel warmth or a light internal “tingle”). Post-treatment soothing gel can be applied and you can return to routine activities the same day.
A typical course involves three sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with optional maintenance once or twice per year. When discussing the Mona Lisa procedure, we personalise settings to your history (e.g., post-partum, peri- or post-menopausal, oncology care where oestrogens are unsuitable) and your comfort preferences.
What Problems Does the Service Solve
Women commonly describe dryness, burning, chafing, or discomfort during intimacy; some notice light leakage on exertion, recurring irritation after swimming or exercise, or tugging around scar lines. By improving hydration, elasticity and epithelial health, the treatment helps reduce these symptoms, supports everyday comfort (sitting, sport, clothing), and may restore confidence in intimate relationships. For those exploring non surgical vaginal rejuvenation near me, it provides a practical, clinic-based route that avoids systemic hormones or surgery.
Post-Treatment Care
After your Monalisa Touch treatment, it’s normal to experience mild redness or sensitivity for a few days. Follow these steps for the best recovery:
Avoid intercourse, tampons or baths for two weeks.
Keep the area clean and dry; use soothing gels if needed.
Wear breathable cotton underwear.
Stay hydrated and maintain gentle hygiene.
Attend follow-up visits as recommended.
Long-Lasting and Effective Results
After one session, many women notice improved hydration and comfort. Results continue to develop as collagen production increases.
A full course usually includes 3 treatments spaced several weeks apart. The benefits of this non surgical vaginal rejuvenation can last for up to 18 months. Maintenance sessions help sustain the improvements.
During consultation we can discuss vaginal rejuvenation before after expectations – bearing in mind that individual results vary with baseline tissue health, hormones, and lifestyle.
Your doctor will discuss the vaginal rejuvenation laser cost during consultation, depending on your individual plan and treatment areas.

How does MonaLisa Touch® works?
A swab is inserted into the vagina to dry out the inside as much as possible prior to the insertion of the laser. This is the uncomfortable part of the procedure. The specially designed laser scanner and probe system is then inserted into the vagina. The patient will feel a low grade warm vibration inside the vaginal canal which is virtually painless for most women. This process lasts for around 5 minutes, the probe is then removed and the treatment is complete. In as little as 30 days after the treatment the regeneration of new tissue in the vaginal wall builds a naturally stronger vaginal structure and the protective mucosa recovers lost volume, hydration and elasticity
Does the procedure hurt?
The procedure is virtually painless and requires no anaesthesia. The sensation is a light warm vibration
How long does it take?
A standard MonaLisa Touch® Laser treatment plan consists of a preliminary medical consultation and initial three to four sessions over 8 to 16 weeks plus a “booster treatment” around 12 months. The actual treatment takes less than 15 minute
What types of results can I expect?
Most treated patients report a reduction in dryness, burning sensation, pain during intercourse, and urinary symptoms which contributes to a substantial improvement in the quality of life. These results are possible, thanks to the stimulation of the mucosa, which regenerates and rejuvenates
Can MonaLisa Touch® be used to treat vaginal laxity?
The term “vaginal laxity” refers to a condition where the diameter of the vagina has increased. This is often caused by natural yet traumatic events, such as giving birth or tissue relaxation due to a natural ageing process. In these cases, it is essential to evaluate the cause and the state of the vagina to exclude a prolapse or an involvement of the muscles. The CO2 fractional laser MonaLisa Touch® allows treating those cases where the “loose vagina” is due to a mucosal tone loss
How many treatments are needed?
It depends on how serious the symptoms are. We usually recommended 1 to 3 treatments, 40-60 days apart, followed by an annual maintenance treatment. In any case, it will be up to your doctor, after careful examination, to evaluate and recommend the best treatment plan for you
How is the recovery?
Most women report slight localised discomfort following the laser treatment and during the first few days after the session. Many have reported to have resumed their normal routine after one to three days. During the healing period, it may be recommended to avoid lifting weights or some activities, such as taking a hot bath, or physical exercise. Your doctor will give you specific indications for a speedy recovery. Patient must refrain from vaginal intercourse for 5 days to allow the vaginal canal surface to heal properly
How long do the effects of the treatment last?
The results are immediate, even after the first treatment and improve over subsequent months. The regeneration process that it triggers lasts 40-60 days, after which it is advisable to repeat the treatment
