The O-Shot procedure itself usually takes 10-15 minutes.

There is typically minimal discomfort with the O-Shot procedure. The areas are numbed with a potent numbing cream left in place for 20 minutes prior to the procedure. An ice pack is also applied. I perform a nerve block with Lidocaine with a very fine needle which numbs the clitoris. Most patients rate their discomfort as a 1 or 2 on a pain scale of 10.

There are no limitations after receiving the O-Shot procedure. Patients may experience some spotting from the injection sites.

The O-Shot can be combined with the MonaLisa Touch Vaginal LASER which consists of 3 treatments, 6-weeks apart and typically a yearly boost. These two procedures complement each other allowing for maximum benefit. The O-Shot is half-price when combined with the MonaLisa Touch procedure.

No, the O-Shot is not covered by insurance since it is considered to be a cosmetic procedure.

Many patients repeat the O-Shot procedure on a yearly basis or as needed.

Platelets and other components in human blood migrate to a site of injury. Platelets are known to release a variety of growth factors that respond to tissue injury, where they initiate and promote healing. By concentrating platelets at the site of injury, physicians have the potential to enhance the body’s natural capacity for healing. We use the SELPHYL system to create our PRP, which provides the highest quality PRP called a Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix.

20cc of your blood is obtained with a small Butterfly needle. The blood is then placed into the patented SELPHYL tube which has a gel gradient that separates out the white and red blood cells from the plasma, this is then spun for 6 minutes in a centrifuge. The PRP is then created and should have the color of straw. Your PRP is then placed in another tube which contains Calcium Chloride that activates the healing cascade. 20cc of blood typically yields about 6cc of PRP.

No, because we are using your own blood and therefore you cannot have an allergic reaction to it.
