O-Shot v. G-Shot
The G-Shot involves injecting hyaluronic acid (foreign material) directly into the Grafenberg spot (G-Spot) in the vaginal wall. This increases friction and stimulation to the G-Spot thereby enhancing sexual response to those who are able to achieve orgasm by vaginal stimulation.
The O-shot, on the other hand, utilizes your bodies own PRP (platelet rich plasma) which is injected, painlessly, into your anterior vaginal wall and the clitoris which also enhances clitoral stimulation and response. PRP allows for rejuvenation of your tissues, nerves and vascular structures which in turn improve sensation and strengthen orgasmic response. Additional reported benefits include improvement in painful intercourse and urinary symptoms including urinary incontinence. Complimentary benefit can be obtained by combining laser vaginal resurfacing and PRP therapy for maximal rejuvenation of urinary, vaginal and orgasmic function.
