Regenerative treatment for sensation, arousal, comfort & bladder control
The O-Shot® (Orchid Shot®)
So many women quietly accept changes in sensation, arousal, dryness, or bladder control as "just part of getting older." They're often very treatable — and you deserve to feel like yourself again. The O-Shot® (Orchid Shot®) uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from a small sample of your own blood, prepared and injected into specific areas to support tissue health, sensation, and natural lubrication. Non-surgical, with minimal downtime.
Who This Helps
You don't have to accept this as normal
These are some of the most common concerns we hear. If several of these resonate, you're a strong candidate for this conversation.
Decreased arousal or sensitivity
Difficulty reaching orgasm
Weaker or less frequent orgasms
Leaking when you cough, sneeze, or laugh
Vaginal dryness or discomfort during sex
Painful intercourse
Low libido or loss of desire
Urge incontinence (sudden, urgent need to go)
Symptoms of lichen sclerosus
Post-menopausal tissue changes
Bladder & Incontinence
How the O-Shot® helps urgency, cystitis & stress incontinence
Stress Urinary Incontinence
PRP growth factors regenerate the tissue that supports the urethra, reducing leakage with coughing, sneezing, laughing, and exercise.
Urgency & Urge Incontinence
By restoring healthier tissue around the bladder neck and urethra, the O-Shot® can reduce urgency and the sudden need to go.
Cystitis & Pelvic Pain
Emerging research shows PRP — especially combined with GAINSwave® for her — can calm the chronic bladder irritation and pelvic pain associated with interstitial cystitis.
The Procedure
How the O-Shot® works
The O-Shot® was developed by Dr. Charles Runels and is a trademarked protocol performed only by certified providers. Shannon Lapointe is a Canadian Clinical Instructor for the full Runels procedure suite — she trains other providers across North America in this procedure.
1
Blood Draw
A small amount of your own blood is drawn — similar to a routine lab test.
2
PRP Preparation
Your blood is processed in a centrifuge using the Health Canada-approved MD Biologix system to concentrate the platelets and growth factors.
3
Numbing
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area and allowed to work for a full 25 minutes. An additional injectable block is used if needed. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is.
4
Injection
The concentrated PRP is injected into the clitoral tissue and anterior vaginal wall — the areas responsible for sensation and bladder control. The injection itself takes only a few minutes.
5
Done — No Downtime
You leave and resume your normal day. No recovery period. No restrictions beyond mild post-procedure guidance.
An Honest Note
About female ejaculation
This is something women ask about quietly, if at all — so let's talk about it plainly. When the O-Shot® is placed into the anterior wall of the vagina, it stimulates the periurethral (Skene's) glands — the female equivalent of the prostate. As that tissue becomes healthier and better supplied with blood, many women notice stronger, fuller orgasms. Some experience ejaculatory orgasm — occasionally for the first time in their lives.
Let me be honest with you about this: it is not the goal of the procedure, and I would never promise it. It is a documented outcome that happens for some women and not others. If it happens, it is completely normal and nothing to be embarrassed about. If it doesn't, nothing has gone wrong. You are not broken either way — and you deserve to understand your own body without shame attached to any part of it.

Individual results vary. During your assessment, Shannon will give you a realistic picture of what to expect based on your specific situation.
What It Can Support
What the O-Shot® can help with
Improved sensation and arousal, more natural lubrication and comfort, and support for mild bladder leakage — a natural, regenerative approach using your body's own biology. Individual results vary, and Shannon will tell you honestly what is realistic for your situation before you begin.
An Enhanced Result — Clitoxin®
Many women choose to pair the O-Shot® with Clitoxin® for a meaningfully enhanced result. PRP regenerates tissue from within, while the Clitoxin® neuromodulator works through a different pathway to support arousal and sensation — so the two complement each other. Clitoxin® can be done on its own or alongside your O-Shot® in the same visit. Shannon will discuss whether this combined approach is right for you at your assessment.
Why Here
We use a Health Canada-approved PRP kit, double-spun for a concentrated preparation, delivered by a certified Runels-protocol provider who is also a Certified Continence Advisor. The O-Shot® is a trademarked, standardized protocol; generic PRP injections by untrained providers are not the same procedure. You can verify Shannon's certification at oshot.info.
Candidacy
Is the O-Shot® right for you?
Likely a good fit
Decreased sensitivity or arousal
Stress or urge urinary incontinence
Difficulty with orgasm
Vaginal dryness or dyspareunia
Lichen sclerosus
Post-menopausal or post-partum tissue changes
Looking to enhance sexual experience
We'll need to discuss
Active infection or herpes outbreak at treatment site
Active cancer or chemotherapy
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Active autoimmune disease affecting healing
Hemoglobin below clinical threshold
We're one of the few clinics that will tell you if you're not a good candidate. If we can't help you, we'll say so — and point you somewhere that can.
Breast Cancer Survivors
For women who cannot use estrogen
Women treated for breast cancer often cannot use estrogen — meaning vaginal atrophy, dryness, and painful intercourse go unaddressed for years. This is one of the most significant gaps in post-cancer care for women, and it affects quality of life, relationships, and wellbeing profoundly.
The O-Shot® does not involve hormones. It uses your own growth factors to support tissue health locally — without affecting systemic estrogen levels.
A hormone-free option for an underserved group
Because the O-Shot® uses your own growth factors and involves no hormones, it has been studied as a local, hormone-free approach to genitourinary symptoms in women who cannot use estrogen after breast cancer treatment. Shannon regards these women as one of the most important and underserved groups she cares for. Individual results vary, and Shannon will talk through honestly what may be realistic for you at your assessment.
Results in breast cancer survivors typically last 9–18 months. Shannon will discuss your oncology history at your assessment and confirm appropriateness before proceeding.
Integrated Approach
We don't treat this in isolation
Female sexual function is rarely a single-system problem. Sensation, arousal, continence, and hormones are connected. At Revitalize, we look at the full picture and may combine the O-Shot® with:
Clitoxin® — neuromodulator for enhanced orgasm
EMSELLA® — deep pelvic floor rehabilitation
GAINSwave® for Her — shockwave therapy for blood flow and tissue
Hormone optimization (via Virtual Care)
Vampire Wing Lift® — vulvar rejuvenation
Better Together
Combining the O-Shot® with GAINSwave® for Her
Shockwave and PRP do different jobs. GAINSwave® for her uses acoustic waves to improve blood flow and wake the tissue up; the O-Shot® delivers your own growth factors to rebuild it. Used together in the same program, they appear to work better than either one alone — the shockwave prepares the ground, the PRP does the building. Women who do both tend to tell us they notice more than women who do just one.
This is also where some of the most interesting work is happening for interstitial cystitis and bladder pain syndrome. Emerging research suggests that combining shockwave with PRP has a synergistic effect on this kind of chronic bladder irritation — an area where conventional options are limited and many women have been told there is nothing more to try. Let me be straight with you: the evidence here is still early, not settled. But if bladder pain is part of your story, mention it at your assessment and we will talk honestly about whether this combination makes sense for you.
