CO2Lift V

Advanced Non-Invasive Rejuvenation for Intimate Skin Health

CO2Lift V is a breakthrough, scientifically inspired topical cosmetic gel formulated specifically to visibly hydrate, soothe, and completely refresh the delicate skin of your intimate areas. Utilizing the exact same professional-grade carbon-dioxide-generating technology found in clinical carboxy skin masks, CO2Lift V delivers an advanced at-surface oxygenating effect that balances moisture, supports tissue integrity, and improves the look and feel of personal tone, texture, and physical comfort. Developed for use by licensed professionals and their clients, CO2Lift V offers a gentle, needle-free cosmetic option for promoting smoother, more supple skin in the vaginal and vulvar areas.

Restores Fragile Tissue Integrity: Clinical case studies demonstrate robust structural improvement in complex, highly sensitive skin presentations, including vulvar tissue suffering from conditions like Lichen Sclerosus.

Integrative Protocols

Pairing with Regenerative Therapies

At Advanced Pelvic Surgery and Urogynecology of Charlotte, these products are not standalone solutions—they are integral components of our comprehensive Regenerative Wellness and Aesthetic protocols.

Red Light Therapy & vFit

Photobiomodulation utilizing specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light alters cellular behavior. We recommend pairing the vFit PLUS with in-office treatments to continually promote ATP production, regulate inflammation, and optimize post-surgical tissue repair at home.

Exosomes & CO2Lift V

Exosome therapy delivers bio-signaling instructions for cellular restoration. Applying CO2Lift V supplements this process by dramatically increasing local oxygenation (the Bohr Effect), creating the optimal environment for exosome-directed collagen synthesis and tissue repair.

Signature Intimate Restoration

For patients undergoing the Signature Intimate Restoration Program™ or combined vaginoplasty and labiaplasty, maintaining localized hydration is critical for long-term mucosal health. Products like RevitalizHER™ and reliefHER™ serve as the essential daily maintenance to protect your surgical investment.
