WhatistheG-Shot?
The Grafenberg spot, or G-spot, is targeted during a G-Shot procedure to enhance sexual pleasure. Hyaluronic acid based injections within the G-spot are purported to increase vaginal sensitivity for improved sexual arousal and gratification.
The G-Shot is a way of filling a gap in options for women with sexual dysfunction — unlike men, who currently have more than 20 FDA-approved treatments, from Viagra to Cialis, at their disposal.
Abouttheprocedure
Women who have difficulty achieving an orgasm may benefit from the G-Shot procedure, which injects hyaluronic acid into the Grafenberg spot — more commonly referred to as the "G-spot". The G-spot is a sensitive area of the anterior vaginal wall that some women enjoy having stimulated during sexual activity. Injecting hyaluronic acid within the G-spot is intended to increase the sensitivity of the area, making it easier to achieve an orgasm.
During treatment, the woman will lay on a table with legs in stirrups, similar to when receiving a Pap smear. The doctor, typically a gynecologist, will do a pelvic exam to determine the location of the G-spot with the patient's assistance.
A special speculum will be inserted into the vagina to inject a local anesthetic to the vaginal wall. Based on the pelvic exam, the hyaluronic acid will then be injected into the location of the G-spot. The typical products used for G-Shot include Restylane, Perlane, and Juvederm. A tampon may be worn after the procedure to prevent any spot bleeding from the needle injections. Normal sexual activity can be resumed 4 hours after treatment.
HowdoestheG-Shotwork?
A specially designed speculum is used to assist in the delivery of a hyaluronan filler directly into the G-Spot after local anesthesia. Hyaluronan is a common ingredient found in many health care products and can also be found naturally throughout the body. The G-Shot augments (enlarges) the G-Spot. The injection itself takes about 8 seconds, with the entire procedure taking less than 15 minutes. The effects last 3–5 months and results do vary.
