Menopause, pregnancy, hormone imbalance, and cancer treatments can lead to vaginal changes.,
Vaginal tissue is very dependent on estrogen. Low estrogen levels can result in:
MonaLisa Laser is a painless in-office procedure that revitalizes the vaginal mucosa and external tissues with gentle laser technology. Treatments stimulate the production of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid- restoring the vagina to a state similar to before menopause. The procedure is done in three brief sessions each spaced apart by about 6 to 8 weeks. Recovery involves only 4 days of modified activity for most women. You can exercise the same day. Topical estrogen is messy, can be expensive, and requires continued use. MonaLisa Touch only requires a once per year treatment to maintain results.
Dr Denise Sweeney is one of the leading providers of MonaLisa Touch in California. She has taught laser science and MonaLisa indications for Hologic and Cynosure and has over a decade of experience with simple and complex cases. Your vagina deserves the expert!
Lichen sclerosis is an autoimmune skin disorder that affects the vulvar tissue and is very debilitating. Skin changes cause itching, burning, and pain. Over time, these changes result in scarring and tissue splitting.
There are few physicians who are knowledgeable about treatment options for lichen sclerosis beyond steroids- which thin the tissue and cause further problems. Dr Denise Sweeney has used the MonaLisa Touch laser as part of her treatment for lichen sclerosis for many years. Her innovative techniques include bio-identical hormone topical creams and injection of peptides when needed.

“When I underwent the MonaLisa Touch procedure I was nervous. I was having bladder infections every few months, and my urologist actually referred me to her. I was so surprised that the procedure did not hurt. Treatments decreased my bladder infection frequency to just once per year- a BIG improvement “
"I had pelvic pain since 2013, after being treated for breast cancer and taking Femara (which completely blocked my hormones). I had not been able to have intercourse with my husband at all for over 2 years. I also suffered from stress urinary incontinence.
After just 2 of the 3 MonaLisa treatments my vaginal dryness improved 50% and vaginal irritation improved 80%! I was able to have intercourse, and pain was only 2/10. My frequent bladder infections and urinary incontinence resolved. I can't wait for the 3rd treatment!! Thank you for giving me my life back after breast cancer."
"I was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer after my 30th birthday. Treatments and premature menopause left me unable to have vaginal intercourse with my husband. Dr Sweeney had me pre-treat with vaginal estriol, and then began a series of MonaLisa Laser treatments, then vaginal dilators. We then completed an additional MLT procedure. I was able to have intercourse with vaginal penetration for the first time in 10 years- without pain!!"
" I noticed a difference after my first procedure and then going back for the second there was a huge difference. Between the second and third treatment, a total opening, a softening, receptivity, sensitivity, that I haven’t had for years and years. MonaLisa Touch gave me back confidence and made me want to date again. It made me feel like I can have a full relationship. I feel like I don’t have to hold back anymore. I got my mojo back."
“I was paying $400/month for premarin vaginal cream, and it didn't even work. I was dismissed by my doctors when I complained--until I met Dr Sweeney. Her treatments repaired what I had ben complaining of for 10 years. I don't think the other doctors were bad, they just did not know what to do. I suffered for years because of their lack of knowledge. I am so glad I found her."
"I was bounced from clinic to clinic until I met Dr Sweeney. No one wants to treat lichen sclerosis. She was thorough and thoughtful in her evaluation. She looked into my whole body inflammation, reasons why I had lichen. She taught me how to manage it and she rescues me when I have a flair. I think she is the most compassionate physician treating lichen sclerosis."
