The G-Shot® is a painless office procedure that is performed in our office under local anesthesia. The actual injection usually takes less than 8 seconds and the total time in the examination room is usually less than 10-15 minutes. A specially designed speculum is used to assist in the delivery of a specified amount of human-engineered collagen directly into the G-Spot after local anesthesia has been administered. The G-Shot® augments (enlarges) the G-Spot. This augmentation results in a G-Spot about the size of a quarter in width and one-fourth of an inch in height (meaning the projection into the vagina). Note that results do vary, but in a recent study, 87% of women experienced a noticeable response from the procedure.

The day of your appointment – Allow time before your appointment for filling out forms and for consulting with the doctor or a member of his or her staff.

You may also be asked about your expectations for treatment are and if you have any allergies or conditions that wouldn't make you a good candidate for the G-Shot.

Before the procedure – During the consultation process, your doctor will educate you on the G-Spot and how to localize it. Your doctor will go over the associated risks and complications verbally and he or she will give you a written consent form to sign as well.

It is important to the doctor that every patient is completely informed of the risks, complications, and alternatives to this procedure. Once you have given your consent, you will then go into the examination room alone and perform a self-examination based upon the doctor's instructions. After you are comfortable with the localization of the G-Spot, you will notify the assistant and he or she will come in to start the procedure.

The procedure – You will be positioned on the examination table as if you are "getting a PAP smear" and the doctor will perform a pelvic exam and measurement of the G-Spot based upon your direction. He will transfer this measurement to a ruler and then a special speculum. The speculum, which has the location of the G-Spot marked on it, will be inserted into the vagina. A small needle will then be used to deliver a small amount of local anesthetic in the area of the G-Spot. Then the collagen product will be injected. After this step is completed, a tampon is inserted. (The tampon is to be removed in 4 hours.) The entire G-Shot® injection procedure takes approximately 10 minutes.

After the procedure – There's no recovery time needed. You're ready to get on with your day! The most common side effect following injection includes scant bleeding from the needle injection site.

Results – Within 4 hours, you can resume normal sexual activity. Results can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.
