The O-Shot on Hilton Head Island

What is the O-Shot?

If you suffer from female sexual dysfunction or other sources of vaginal discomfort or incontinence, then the O-Shot treatment may be for you.

The board-certified team at Symbios Medical is pleased to offer the Orgasm Shot (O-Shot), which uses platelet-rich plasma and concentrated growth factors to stimulate the body’s natural healing process to rejuvenate the vagina to help relieve urinary incontinence, relieve pain and discomfort, and enhance sensation.

Common sex-pleasure problems for women.

Nearly one in 20 women in the US suffer from female sexual disorders where you may want to have sex, but have difficulty finding the pleasure of arousal, difficulty achieving orgasm, or even experience pain. For many, this condition can be so frustrating that sex becomes an activity to avoid. Symbios board-certified, specialized team is here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the O-Shot a drug?

The O-Shot is not a drug. It’s a procedure performed in a medical office in which your own blood platelets are injected into vaginal tissue. The theory proposed by the inventor, Dr. Charles Runels, is that platelets naturally attract your own stem cells to the injected area, and generate healthier and more functional tissue in the areas of sexual response in the vagina (G-Spot, O-Spot, Skene’s Glands, urethra, and vaginal wall).

Does the O Shot injection hurt?

Getting the O-Shot is usually painless. We numb the area with a gentle, cream-based product. Although every patient’s experience is different, most experience only minor discomfort. The injection feels like a slight pinch or warm sensation. There is no recovery time with this non-surgical procedure. It is quick and generally takes about 30 minutes to complete, including the numbing process.

Do I need more than one O-Shot?

Patients can just have one orgasm shot or come back for more, which will build on the existing results. Eight weeks is generally recommended between treatments to ensure the full effects of the first treatment have been felt. However, you can speak with a Symbios medical provider about the timeframe that works best for you.

How long does it take before I see results from an O-Shot?

You may experience an increase in sexual desire and pleasure immediately, but full results are usually enjoyed after three months. Generally, women will begin to experience heightened sensation in the first three to seven days and new tissue will begin to develop over the next three to nine weeks. This will peak around the three-month mark.

How long does the O-Shot last?

O-Shot procedure results can vary depending on the patient, but they generally last between 14 and 18 months. On average, women repeat the procedure every 18 months.

How does the O-Shot cause vaginal rejuvenation?

The shot works by using high-quality platelet-rich plasma produced from the patient’s blood. The PRP contains cell regenerating growth factors that, when injected into specific areas of the vagina, trigger stem cells to increase blood flow and generate healthy tissue growth as well as help improve the vascularization of the area.

The O-Shot procedure begins with a simple blood draw from the arm. This sample is then put into a special centrifuge to produce the platelet-rich plasma. Once the PRP is extracted from the blood, it is injected into the numbed area near the clitoris and upper vagina.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Luther and Dr. Wright. Both are amazing. I have been a patient of Dr. Luther for years and his bedside manners are like no other. Dr. Wright I have seen for the last couple of months. He listens to your concerns and doesn’t rush you. Your concerns matter to both of them and make you feel at ease after each visit. These two are the best of the best. No one can compare to them.

Dr. Luther, you are a man with a long-term vision! This sort of vision is rare. In my 69 years, I have only seen it in my mother, Pastor Owens, and you. It was quite a feat to leave your corporate medical office to form a new practice, incorporating your vision, time, planning, effort, money, and fortitude. You created a great primary care team and added many more services to focus on the whole person, such as the lab, women’s care, physical therapy, spa, and gym. Your steady and faith-filled leadership meets the needs of the entire person, both inside and out. You have the best bedside manner, bar none.

Working with Stephanie in pelvic floor physical therapy has been an amazing experience as I had bladder prolapse which improved significantly with therapy. Also other symptoms related to urgency and inability to completely void have also gotten much better. Stephanie is a true professional and has been able to make what could have been an uncomfortable or embarrassing experience feel completely relaxed and normal. She is also able to follow my lead in using humor when it is helpful. She encourages me to do my exercises on my own without preaching. I would recommend Stephanie and this PT for anyone dealing with female related issues. We will also be working on increasing opportunities for more comfortable intimacy with my husband. So everyone is happy.

I recently had a yearly wellness visit at this new facility. It is clean and very welcoming inside. The staff folks were great from start to finish. The appointment was right on time as scheduled. Dr. Luther was very nice and attentive to all I had to say. Following up with an appropriate referral as needed. It is really really nice to have the labs done right there. They do a follow-up telehealth visit to review your labs with you which is really reassuring to the patient. The portal also works very smoothly and is easy to use . Can’t say enough good about my visit.

I had the signature facial at Symbios Medical Spa – it was absolutely wonderful. The aesthetician was outstanding – she has a way of making you feel so relaxed and pampered, while taking great care of your skin. The facilities are clean and everything you’d expect in a medical spa. Knowing that Symbios was launched by Dr. Stephen Luther, I felt certain that there would be a focus on doing the best possible for the patient/patient. I was so impressed that I’ve signed up for additional treatments.
