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).

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.

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.
