MonaLisa Touch® is an in-office fractional CO₂ laser treatment, often called vaginal rejuvenation, that eases vaginal dryness, burning, itching and painful sex caused by menopause or low estrogen. At Sky Women's Health in Fort Worth, Dr. Carolyn Moyers performs every treatment herself. Each session takes under five minutes, needs no anesthesia and uses no hormones, and most women complete three sessions about six weeks apart.

MonaLisa Touch® is a fractional CO₂ laser therapy specifically developed for vaginal and vulvar health. During the treatment, gentle laser energy is delivered to the vaginal walls, triggering the body's natural healing response, stimulating collagen production, improving blood flow, and regenerating the tissue that estrogen loss has thinned and dried out.
The result is vaginal tissue that behaves more like it did before menopause, better hydrated, more elastic, and far more comfortable.
Each session takes less than 5 minutes. No anesthesia needed. Most women describe the sensation as a mild warmth or light vibration. You walk out of the office and go straight back to your day.
This is not a new or experimental treatment. MonaLisa Touch® is backed by over 60 peer-reviewed clinical studies and carries a 97% patient satisfaction rate, making it the most researched gynecologic laser therapy available.
These symptoms are common, but you do not have to live with them. Discover MonaLisa Touch vaginal laser therapy in Fort Worth.
Vaginal dryness that doesn't respond to over the counter moisturizers
Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse
Persistent vaginal burning, itching, or irritation
Urinary urgency or discomfort
Vaginal symptoms caused by genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM)
Postpartum vaginal changes
Symptoms related to cancer treatment that has lowered estrogen levels
It is also an excellent option for women who cannot or prefer not to use hormone therapy. Because MonaLisa Touch® works by stimulating your body's own collagen, not by introducing hormones, it is a genuinely hormone-free path to relief.
MonaLisa Touch® vaginal laser therapy in Fort Worth is not right for every patient. Dr. Moyers will review your full health history at your consultation to confirm whether it's appropriate for you.
Vaginal prolapse that extends beyond the vaginal opening
Prior pelvic radiation
Mesh placement for bladder or prolapse repair
A history of poor wound healing or keloid scarring
Active anticoagulant therapy
Recent pregnancy (wait at least 3 months postpartum)
If any of these apply, Dr. Moyers will discuss alternative options that can still help with your symptoms.
Most patients complete a series of three treatments spaced approximately six weeks apart. This protocol gives the tissue enough time to respond and regenerate between sessions, building results progressively.
After your initial series, an annual maintenance treatment helps sustain the benefits long term. Many women notice meaningful symptom relief after just their first session, with the most significant improvements appearing after the full course.
After each treatment, Dr. Moyers recommends avoiding sexual intercourse, tampon use, and intense exercise for 2 to 3 days to allow the tissue to settle. Beyond that, there are no restrictions, no recovery period, no time off work, nothing to work around.
| Treatment | How it works | Hormones? | Often best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vaginal moisturizers and lubricants | Add moisture and reduce friction | No | Mild dryness; used alongside other treatments |
| Vaginal estrogen (cream, tablet or ring) | Restores estrogen to vaginal tissue | Yes, low dose | Most women with genitourinary syndrome of menopause; long track record |
| MonaLisa Touch® laser | Laser energy stimulates collagen and blood flow in vaginal tissue | No | Women who prefer or need to avoid hormones, including some cancer survivors |
| Pelvic floor Botox® | Relaxes tight pelvic floor muscles | No | Painful sex caused by muscle tension or vaginismus |
