My 3 Mona Lisa treatments were completed Sept 2016 and I will soon go back for one yearly maintenance treatment.They improved the vaginal lining and gave me back some natural lubrication that I have not experienced in years. I am 68 years old and still sexually active with my husband of 47 years. Although I was able to get some natural lubrication back, I use a lubricant (water based Astroglide) for completely pain free and pleasurable foreplay and intercourse. The treatments are pain free and they do not take long. The reason that I am waiting to get my next maintenance treatment is because I had bladder surgery and I am waiting to get cleared by my doctor.

I love the Mona Lisa! I thought I had to live with incontinence while exercising, sneezing, or laughing too hard. I also thought I had to live with the frequent UTI’s and painful intercourse. Since I have had the Mona Lisa, all my post menopausal symptoms went away. I am so excited because I thought that I had to live with this as an older woman. Thank goodness for the Mona Lisa touch. I have rescheduled my yearly maintenance! I have told my friends to share the good news.

I was 55 years old and two years post-menopause when I began having symptoms that felt like a urinary tract infection. I tested negative for an infection and my urologist recommended I have the Mona Lisa Touch laser treatment. After going in for my first treatment (which was absolutely painless and took less than 5 minutes), my pain/discomfort was gone. I was able to resume sex and did not need lubricant (which I have needed since 40). After my second treatment, I noticed even more improvement. Sex feels like I’m a teenager again. I have recommended this treatment to two of my friends and they were thrilled with their results as well. I am writing about something so personal because most women don’t seem to know about this treatment and how life-changing it can be. My husband says it is the best money we’ve ever spent.:)

It was wonderful–really, really a life changer. This may sound a little melodramatic but once you’ve had the procedure, you’ll know what I mean.
I was as dry as the Sahara Dessert-but but no more.
Intercourse was a big pain, most times I bled but thought it was my lot in life to just manage the pain. I had no idea that there was a solution. I’ve even had a desire for sex. The last time I experienced an actual desire was so long ago, it took me a little while to recognize my own desire. That change has been great. The Mona Lisa procedure has been healing in so many ways. It’s not possible to list all. I will say that any one of the changes made would be worth it though.
Did I mention I don’t feel heavy “down there” anymore! I can walk all day and not need aspirin.
Thank you, Dr Meredith Lightfoot, for really knowing your patients. The procrastinators, like me, need clear cut direction. I have a great amount of respect for your judgment.
Thank you, Judy Follo, APN, FNP-C, my Mona Lisa Touch Technician, for being so kind and willing to answer many questions from me about Lupus as it did and did not relate to the Mona Lisa procedure. You were genuinely interested in my over all health. You went above and beyond and made my life better.Dara (10/11/17)
The things your Mother never told you. I knew there was a phase in a woman’s life called “menopause” and that it was the time that your menstrual periods stopped. That’s it. I didn’t know about the hot flashes, the sweating, the stomach I never had before, that I would never be able to sleep more than three consecutive hours again (silly me, I thought that ended after my baby started sleeping through the night!). I certainly had no idea that my nether region would dry up and wither away – to the point that the pain of an intimate relationship with my husband would not only become very infrequent, but that it would HURT so much that “never again” sounded like a good solution.
Along came Dr. Eric Jacoby who was recommended to me by a long time friend. At my first visit, Dr. Jacoby suggested the Mona Lisa Touch, but the price and the “what if it doesn’t work” thoughts kept me from making the decision to try the procedure. After another year, my husband was begging me to give it a try at any price. At my next annual visit, I brought up the procedure with Dr. Jacoby, and again he thought I would be an excellent candidate for the treatment. I made my appointment within a couple of days and away we went!
I am a total chicken liver, but the treatment was pain free. No more uncomfortable than a pap smear. it lasted I would guestimate less than 10 minutes. The staff at the clinic were so kind and encouraging. This was a big deal to me, so I wanted to make sure everything had healed (not necessary) and was ready to go. Oh my goodness! The very first time my husband and I were intimate was actually enjoyable and pain free! I was praying that I didn’t have to be one of those wives to have the EMTs come to my house only to tell me “Well, at least he went out happy.” Without the dreadful pain I’d been having for years and the total lack of desire, our sex life improved dramatically which makes both of us feel more young and invigorated! The Mona Lisa Touch was way better (and less expensive) than years of marriage counseling!!
I’ve already had another friend go to her OB/GYN and ask if she would be a candidate. It’s amazing when you talk to friends your age about “that” you find out that you are NOT alone, and there are lots of women out there that have been suffering for years in silence. No longer necessary!!! PLEASE talk to your doctor and discuss the issues that you may be having; don’t bear the pain for years without getting help.
Trust me and trust your Doctor….the Mona Lisa Touch procedure WORKS!!!!

I found about about MonaLisa through my doctor. So I contacted their office and after talking them I decided to go in for the treatment. I am so glad that I did. It has really helped me. I highly recommend MonaLisa to anyone who is having any issues.

this procedure changed and gave me my life back! Due to breast cancer at age 40 and again at age 50, i went in to early menopause. As the years passed, I became dryer and dryer; began to experience more urinary tract infections , and intimacy became more difficult, losing sensation. I sought advice from my urologist who told me about the Mona Lisa procedure. I signed up and I am so thankful I did. My symptoms have all but disappeared and sensations are back to what I am accustomed to and life is GREAT!
DO THIS NOW! Happy to answer any questions you may have. At 69 now, love feeling like my younger days!Mary (10/03/17)
I am so happy to have found Mona Lisa Touch! Dr Lightfoot, a urologist I’ve been going to for years, said “just GO to Judy at Mona Lisa!”. I love and trust Dr Lightfoot’s advise so I made an appointment and went. I had just enough knowledge of the procedure to have hope it could “fix” my all too frequent symptoms. It always felt like I had a bladder infection. Sometimes I did and mostly the test results were normal.
For me the results of the treatment have been so worth it! Intercourse isn’t painful anymore. I don’t feel “heavy” and achy/crampy in pelvic area. It really has made a difference in my total well being. I’m not having to manage discomfort and pain anymore. The procedure has helped me feel like myself again.
I highly recommend Judy and Mona Lisa Touch . She is such a compassionate person and is very knowledgeable about the treatment.Dara (09/27/17)
I am so thankful to have had the Mona Lisa Touch Procedure. For 8 years I have had painful intimacy due to thyroid cancer treatment. After my breast cancer treatment, my surgeon told me about this procedure. MY LIFE Has CHANGED! Due to Breast cancer medication and treatment, the dryness, burning, itching and painful intimacy were even worse. Thanks to Mona Lisa Touch, all of my problems are GONE. I can even enjoy intimacy without lubrication.

My doctor had diagnosed me with frequent urinary tract infections and actually I always felt like I had one. Mona Lisa did the trick. No more infections and I felt normal, no more daily, itching, dryness and burning. I was so easy and has made me feel so much better everyday.

I had had repeated urinary infections for 1 1/2 years. It’s not certain if they just never cleared up or were new infections, but there were three different bacterial infections during that time. I was taken off estrogen because of cancer, have to take an estrogen suppressant, and it wreaked havoc on my genitalia: I had bleeding hemorrhoids, anal fizzures, incontinence, and deterioration of tissues in the area.
After the 3 Mona Lisa treatments, I am comfortable and not experiencing any of those problems. I truly recommend it to any woman who has the same symptoms.

The Mona Lisa procedure was just what I needed! It has definitely made a huge difference and I would HIGHLY recommend it. In the end, I could not get it reimbursed by my insurance, but I am still glad I went ahead with the procedure. It was worth every penny.
