Charlotte Skin & Laser is pleased to announce the addition of two non-
surgical women’s health and wellness treatments: Geneveve by Viveve
and Femme 360 by BTL. Geneveve by Viveve is a discreet one-time,
hour- long procedure used to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
It uses clinically-proven cryogen-cooled monopolar radiofrequency
(CMRF) to uniformly deliver gentle volumetric heating while cooling
delicate surface tissue for patient comfort. Ultra Femme 360 uses
controlled heating, as well, to achieve complete feminine rejuvenation
including labial remodeling, restoring the vaginal and vulvar areas to a
more youthful state. Both techniques require no anesthesia and have no
associated downtime. They can be done separate or together for more
heightened results.
