Frequently Asked Questions

IV hydration is a low-risk treatment utilized by inserting a small catheter into a vein, connecting tubing and intravenous (IV) fluids that drip a mixture of saline solution, electrolytes, vitamins, amino acids, and medications directly into the bloodstream for greater bioavailability.

IV hydration is used to help treat a myriad of issues/conditions: fatigue, dehydration, hangover, compromised immune system, headache and nausea relief, and performance recovery.

IV infusions are absorbed more readily than oral or topical supplements. IV infusions bypass the GI tract by going directly into the bloodstream and are immediately useful across the body. The body then consumes what it requires and discards the rest.

What is it used for? In a hospital setting: Ketamine is used by an anesthesia provider for additive anesthesia/analgesia effects (FDA approved).

Outside of the hospital: (Off label uses, not covered by most insurance companies YET): Studies as recent as 2016 - current have shown Ketamine to be effective in the treatment of anxiety, treatment resistant depression (TRD), suicidal ideations, social/physical anhedonia, cancer pain, chronic neuropathic pain, migraines, substance abuse disorders (alcohol, cocaine, opioids), and tinnitus.

It’s normal to experience some slight redness and swelling, but this typically subsides quickly. It’s recommended to wear compression stockings for about one week afterward and to elevate your legs following the treatment. To get the best results, you may require more than one treatment, but many patients prefer Elite iQ because it doesn’t require downtime or surgery. Over the course of several weeks, you can begin to enjoy clearer skin and noticeable results.

The O-Shot® is a minimally invasive vaginal rejuvenating treatment for women who are experiencing low libido, difficulty achieving orgasm, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse or urinary incontinence.

How Does the O-Shot® Work?
The O-Shot® is a dose of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injected directly into a woman’s clitoris and vagina. This growth-factor-rich PRP is safely derived from a woman’s own blood during the procedure in the provider’s office. PRP is widely used to speed healing and new tissue growth, and these same properties stimulate healthy tissue regeneration and improved blood flow in the clitoris and vagina. These rejuvenated tissues offer women the opportunity to experience heightened orgasms and can also mean IMMEDIATE improvement in urinary incontinence symptoms.

What to Expect After the O-Shot®
The PRP growth factors begin to work immediately by first plumping the treated areas and then by activating the stem cells in vaginal and clitoral tissues to promote growth and regeneration. Many patients
experience noticeable improvements within the first three weeks following treatment, but optimal regeneration of tissue occurs at
approximately three months after the injection. On average, the O-Shot®
lasts about 12-18 months.

O-Shot® and Stronger Orgasms
Women who have had the O-Shot® report more frequent and more intense orgasms. Those who have had difficulty achieving orgasm now find it easier and more satisfying. Women who were happy with their orgasms before treatment upgrade their experience "ecstasy." Women
report less vaginal and vulvar pain, including pain during intercourse –
Women who experience pain caused by scarring or damaged tissues can often find relief with O-Shot®. As the tissues are rejuvenated, they become more resilient and elastic and damaged nerves are helped to heal by the increased blood flow and new tissue growth.

Relief from Mesh Pain with O-Shot®
Women who have chronic pain caused by mesh can experience relief
with O-Shot®. The PRP treatment reduces inflammation and encourages healing in the tissues and nerves affected by the mesh.

Increased Libido
It's common to experience a low libido if you aren't experiencing sexual satisfaction. O-Shot® not only improves sensitivity and sexual response, but it also helps heal the pain that may make women willing to ignore or forgo sex out of fear. A healthier, more responsive vagina and clitoris paired with better response mean more enthusiasm surrounding sexual activity.

O-Shot® and Improved Incontinence Symptoms
The O-Shot® injection has proven to be 90% effective in treating urinary stress incontinence and is also effective in treating urge incontinence. Just as the PRP helps rejuvenate vaginal and clitoral tissues, it can encourage the tissues that help support the bladder and control urination to regenerate, strengthen and “bulk up” to help decrease the symptoms of stress incontinence. PRP can also improve blood flow and improve the health of the nerves and tissues responsible for controlling urge incontinence.

O-Shot® and Lichen Sclerosus
When O-Shot® is used for lichen sclerosus, many women see improvements after their initial treatment, but it is safe to repeat
treatments until the desired level of healing is achieved. O-Shot® treatment often means women with lichen sclerosus can then go without other treatments such as steroids and simply repeat O-Shot® as needed.

O-Shot® Recovery Time
Most women have minor blood spotting following O-Shot treatment as would happen with any injection. However, there is no downtime after O-Shot® treatment. Women may resume normal activities, including sex, that same day. Women may notice a full feeling in the vagina for one to three days, which is safe and normal. Vaginal swelling may cause an irregular urine stream, which is not dangerous and should resolve itself after a few days.

O-Shot® in Effect
The beginnings of those effects from the actual PRP-triggered improvements usually start at about three weeks and are fully realized in two to three months.

How Many O-Shot® Treatments Do I Need?
It may take up to 12 weeks for the full effects of O-Shot® to be experienced and recognized. Women who want an added boost or who want to repeat treatments when the results begin to fade will find that the impact of O-Shot® is cumulative, building improvements with each
treatment. Because the PRP is created with the woman’s own blood, repeat treatments are safe.

O-Shot® and Safety
PRP treatments have proven effective as facial cosmetic treatments, and they are a trusted method for improving and speeding healing in athletic injuries. Very few women have adverse side effects from their O-Shot® treatment. Your provider will be able to discuss any possible negative
outcomes with you during your consultation.

We’ll help you determine if O-Shot® is the solution you need for a revitalized sex life and overall improved vaginal, vulvar and urinary health. Find out what O-Shot® can do for you!

The P-Shot, also known as the Priapus Shot®, is a non-surgical medical procedure designed to enhance sexual performance and improve overall sexual health in men. It involves injecting the patient’s own blood plasma, which is rich in growth factors and
platelets, directly into the penis.

The P-Shot was first introduced in 2010 by Dr. Charles Runels, a physician based in Alabama. The procedure has gained popularity over the years and is now offered by many medical professionals across the United States.

How does the P-Shot work?
The P-Shot uses the patient’s own blood plasma, which is rich in platelets and growth factors, to REjuvenate and REgenerate tissue in the penis. The platelets contain proteins and growth factors that help to promote healing and tissue regeneration, it is then injected directly into the penis using a fine needle at specific areas. When injected into the penis, these growth factors and proteins can stimulate the growth of new blood vessels and nerve cells, resulting in increased blood flow and sensitivity.  The entire procedure takes around 30 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Benefits of the P-Shot
The P-Shot offers a range of benefits for men who are experiencing sexual health issues or looking to improve their sexual performance. Some of the key benefits of the P-Shot include:
• Improved erectile function: The P-Shot can help to improve erectile function by increasing blood flow to the penis. This can
result in stronger, longer-lasting erections.
• Increased sensitivity: The P-Shot can also help to increase sensitivity in the penis, which can enhance sexual pleasure.
• Increased size: Some patients have reported an increase in penis size after receiving the P-Shot. While this is not a
guaranteed result, it is possible due to the increased blood flow and tissue regeneration that can occur.

Treatment for Peyronie’s disease
The P-Shot has also been used to treat Peyronie’s disease, a condition in which scar tissue develops inside the penis, causing
it to bend or curve.
Non-surgical: Unlike other treatments for erectile dysfunction, such as penile implants or vacuum pumps, the P-Shot is a nonsurgical procedure that does not require any incisions or implants.
Is the P-Shot safe?
The P-Shot is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified medical professional. As with any medical procedure,
there are some potential risks and side effects, including:
• Pain or discomfort during the procedure
• Bruising or swelling at the injection site
• Infection at the injection site
• Allergic reaction to the injected material
• No improvement in erectile function or other sexual health issues
It is important for patients to discuss the potential risks and benefits of the P-Shot with their healthcare provider before
undergoing the procedure.

Who is a good candidate for the P-Shot?
The P-Shot is generally recommended for men who are experiencing erectile dysfunction or other sexual health issues. It may also be recommended for men who are looking to improve their sexual performance or enhance their overall sexual health.  Men who have a history of blood disorders or who are taking blood-thinning medications may not be good candidates for the P-Shot. Patients should discuss their medical history and any medications they are taking with their healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.
Conclusion
The P-Shot is a non-surgical medical procedure that can help to improve erectile function, increase sensitivity, and enhance overall sexual health in men.

1. HOW DOES TIRZEPATIDE WORK?
   Mechanism of Action: Tirzepatide is a synthetic peptide that mimics the action of two key hormones involved in glucose regulation—glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). It’s classified as a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist
2. WHY SHOULD I USE TIRZEPATIDE?
   Efficacy: Tirzepatide is effective in lowering HbA1c levels (a measure of long-term blood glucose control) and can also promote weight loss. Its dual action on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors seems to enhance its effectiveness compared to some other diabetes medications.
3. HOW CONVENIENT IS IT?Administration: The drug is administered via subcutaneous injection. It’s usually given once a week.
4. WHAT SIDE EFFECTS CAN I EXPECT Side Effects: Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, constipation, low blood sugar.
5. IS IT FDA APPROVED?              Approval and Use: Tirzepatide has been approved by the FDA and other regulatory agencies for use in managing type 2 diabetes.
6. WHY IS VITAMIN B12 IN SOME FORMULATIONS?                      Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is essential for various bodily functions, including red blood cell production and neurological health. It’s more commonly used to address deficiencies that can lead to symptoms like fatigue and weakness, rather than as a weight loss aid.
7. WHAT IS A GIP AGONIST?
   1. Function of GIP: GIP is released from the small intestine in response to nutrient intake, particularly fats and carbohydrates. It helps stimulate insulin secretion from the
   pancreas in a glucose-dependent manner, meaning it promotes insulin release when glucose levels are elevated.
   GIP also plays a role in fat metabolism and has some influence on appetite regulation.
   2. Mechanism of GIP Agonists: GIP agonists are designed to mimic the action of natural GIP by binding to and activating GIP receptors. Helps enhance insulin secretion from the pancreas, improve glucose tolerance, and may have effects on fat metabolism and appetite.
   3. Dual Agonists: Tirzepatide, a drug approved for type 2 diabetes, is an example of a dual agonist that targets both GIP and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptors. By activating both of these incretin pathways, tirzepatide helps improve blood sugar control more effectively than drugs targeting just one pathway.
   4. Therapeutic Potential: GIP agonists hold potential for treating conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity due to their role in enhancing insulin secretion and possibly influencing weight regulation.
8. WHAT BENEFITS CAN I ANTICIPATE?
   Overall, tirzepatide offers a comprehensive approach to managing type 2 diabetes with additional benefits related to weight loss, cardiovascular health, and overall quality of life. As with any medication, the full range of benefits and potential risks should be discussed with a healthcare provider to tailor the treatment to individual needs.
   1. Weight Loss: Tirzepatide has been shown to induce significant weight loss. Clinical trials indicate that patients can lose around 10-15% of their body weight on average. This effect is beneficial not just for managing type 2 diabetes, but also for addressing obesity and related metabolic issues.
   2. Improved Cardiovascular Health: Some studies suggest that tirzepatide may have positive effects on cardiovascular health. Although the primary focus of clinical trials has been on glucose control and weight loss, there are indications that it may contribute to better cardiovascular outcomes, including lower blood pressure and improvements in lipid profiles.
   3. Reduced Appetite: Tirzepatide can help reduce appetite and caloric intake. This appetite-suppressing effect contributes to its weight loss benefits and helps in better management of overall energy balance.
   4. Enhanced Glycemic Control: Beyond lowering HbA1c levels, tirzepatide provides more stable blood glucose levels throughout the day, which can lead to fewer fluctuations in blood sugar and a reduced risk of hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic episodes.
   5. Improved Quality of Life: The combination of better glycemic control, weight loss, and potentially improved cardiovascular health can lead to a better quality of life for individuals with type 2 diabetes. Patients often report improvements in energy levels, physical functioning, and overall well-being.
   6. Potential for Reducing Insulin Use: For some patients, tirzepatide may reduce the need for additional insulin therapy or other diabetes medications, simplifying the treatment regimen and potentially reducing the risk of insulin-related side effects.
