While the cost of MonaLisa touch varies according to the extensiveness of the work required, on average, the cost of a single treatment starts at $1,799. However, patients can opt to buy a bundle of 3 treatments for the price of $3,299.
Impressively, MonaLisa Touch boasts a recovery period that is practically non-existent. Indeed, most patients can return to work immediately after the procedure.
At SpaMedica, It takes about 5-10 minutes for a gynecologic physician to perform a MonaLisa Touch.
MonaLisa Touch refers to a procedure that utilizes a carbon dioxide resurfacing laser to significantly improve the signs and symptoms of vaginal atrophy, laxity and stress urinary incontinence. As such, the procedure is ideal for treating the discomfort associated with a lack of vaginal moisture, severe inflammation, painful urination, and stress urinary incontinence. In addition, MonaLisa Touch is able to improve the painful symptoms experienced during sexual intercourse.
Fundamentally, a good candidate for MonaLisa Touch is someone who wishes to significantly improve their symptoms of vaginal atrophy, laxity, and stress urinary incontinence. As is the case with most cosmetic procedures, good candidates should have logical expectations concerning the risks and benefits of the procedure.
Fast Recovery
Unlike surgical procedures, MonaLisa Touch boasts little to no recovery. In fact, patients can return to standard daily activities immediately following the treatment.
Minimally Invasive
As a testament to their non-invasive nature, MonaLisa Touch treatments are anesthesia-free, needle-free, and incision-free.
Revitalize Vaginal Tissue
MonaLisa Touch can revitalize vaginal tissue by stimulating collagen production, thereby improving blood flow and lubrication.
Improved Sexual Activity
MonaLisa Touch results in the improvement of vaginal looseness, mild urinary incontinence, and menopausal vaginal dryness.
Like all procedures, MonaLisa Touch comes with the risk of potential complications. Dr. Sasha, SpaMedica’s cosmetic gynecologist has been performing MonaLisa Touch treatments for many years and, after this many procedures, the risk of a significant complication is extremely low. Although SpaMedica has not seen most of the risks listed below, these risks have been reported:
Mild Discomfort
While some patients describe mild discomfort during the treatment itself, the recovery period is known to be pain-free. Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) can be used to ensure the treatment is comfortable.
Vaginal Discharge
There may be slight vaginal discharge for 3 days following the procedure, but no special treatments or creams are required.
Infection
While risks are minimal, a complication that can occur involves the infection of the skin. However, the gynecologists at SpaMedica take extra care to avoid the risk of infection.
Bruising
In rare cases, the procedure may result in bruising that can last several days.

During MonaLisa Touch, Dr. Sasha gently inserts a fractional resurfacing probe into the vaginal canal. Upon slow withdrawal, the probe emits a comfortable beam of carbon dioxide into the vaginal tissue, heating the area in the process. In doing so, the lasers create new tissue with a firmer structure and better lubrication.
At the time of your consultation, a thorough examination is required by your SpaMedica gynecologist in our Toronto clinic. This examination is necessary to rule out other functional concerns, including signs and symptoms of cervical cancer or other inflammatory conditions.
Prior to your procedure, Dr. Sasha and his team will review your medications and medical history. Based on the scope of the procedure, SpaMedica doctors may recommend that you stop taking certain medications before the treatment.
Following the procedure, patients will notice major improvements in the thinning, drying, inflammation of their vaginal tissue and urinary incontinence.
