Clitoxin® Procedure
Introducing the Clitoxin® Procedure: A Groundbreaking Approach To Female Sexual Health and Satisfaction
For more than 12 years, women all over the world have been receiving the O-Shot® Procedure to improve their pelvic and sexual health. Similarly, men have been receiving the P-Shot® Procedure to improve erectile dysfunction. Men have also derived great benefits from the P-Shot 100/Priapus Toxin, in which they receive an injection of botulinim neurotoxin type A (BoNT) (e.g., Xeomin®, Botox®, Dysport®) into the penis during the P-Shot® Procedure. Now women can benefit as well with the Clitoxin® Procedure!
Understanding the Need
Female sexual dysfunction encompasses a range of issues, including desire difficulties, arousal difficulties, orgasmic disorders and overall dissatisfaction with sexual experiences. While various treatments exist, including psychological interventions, hormonal therapies, and surgical options, they often fall short in directly targeting the physiological aspects of female sexual function. Unlike for men who have access to direct penis injections such as Caverject and Trimix, there are no other FDA-approved therapies that directly affect female genitalia to improve sexual function. Enter the Clitoxin® Procedure! The Clitoxin® Procedure is designed to address these concerns at their core.
The Science
The foundation of the Clitoxin® Procedure is the use of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT) e.g., Xeomin, Botox, Dysport, which has been used for decades to modulate muscle activity and nerve function. BoNT is most used in aesthetics to relax the facial muscles that cause frown lines and other facial wrinkles. It is also used extensively to treat migraines and other medical conditions. More recently, it has shown promise improving sexual function in men.
Dr. Charles Runels (the creator of the O-Shot®, P-Shot®, Vampire Facial®, and other Vampire procedures) and Dr. Alexandra Runnels conducted research that reveal that the Clitoxin® Procedure is very effective in improving desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and overall sexual function in women. The data revealed a significant increase in the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) after the Clitoxin® Procedure—much greater than the current FDA-approved treatment for Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD)!
What is the Clitoxin® Procedure?
The Clitoxin® Procedure is a very specific method of injecting botulinum toxin (BoNT) to help women with desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm and overall sexual satisfaction. The Clitoxin® Procedure is a groundbreaking application of this knowledge for sexual enhancement in women. The procedure can be done with or without platelet-rich plasma (PRP), however the benefits of combing BoNT with PRP yields results that are 50% greater than those with BoNT alone.
I thought that botulinum toxin was all about relaxing muscles… How does it work to enhance sexual function?
Botulinum toxin (BoNT) indeed does weaken some muscles, such as the facial muscles when injected there as a cosmetic procedure. When it’s injected into areas of the face and neck to treat migraines, it travels along nerves to certain regions in the brain where it relaxes the blood vessels that are often involved in migraines. Similarly, when injected into the body of the clitoris, the BoNT acts locally and distally in the brain to enhance the parasympathetic portion of the autonomic nervous system, thereby relaxing blood vessels. This allows for genital engorgement and lubrication. Interestingly, BoNT injected into the body of the clitoris also seems to activate certain areas within the hypothalamus portion of the brain where desire and arousal are governed.
What are the benefits of the Clitoxin® Procedure?
When performed by a qualified practitioner trained in O-Shot® and Clitoxin® administration, women can enjoy the following benefits:
O-Shot® Procedure
- Quick and pain-free vaginal rejuvenation
- No surgery or downtime
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) promotes collagen production
- Improved pelvic and sexual health
- Stronger orgasms
- Tighter vaginal walls
- Increased lubrication in the vagina
- Enhanced sensitivity of the vagina and clitoris
- Relief from stress urinary incontinence and other conditions
- For women of all ages and sexual function
Clitoxin® Procedure
- All benefits of the O-Shot® Procedure are enhanced.
- Increased sexual arousal
- Most women in the study reported that they had a significantly decreased length of time from mental sexual arousal to their body's physiologic arousal response.
What happens during the Clitoxin® Procedure?
The procedure is actually quite simple. It takes about 30 minutes, the bulk of time being preparation before the procedure. First, the doctor applies numbing medication. If choosing the option with platelet-rich plasm (PRP), there will be a blood draw from your arm. The PRP is extracted from the blood using an FDA-cleared PRP centrifuge machine to separate the richest growth factors. The PRP is mixed with the BoNT. Using a tiny, super-fine needle, combination solution is injected into the clitoris and PRP only is injected into the front wall of the vagina. Most women describe only a slight pinching feeling, but consider the procedure to be essentially pain-free.
Is the Clitoxin® Procedure safe? What is the recovery time?
Because the Clitoxin® Procedure is minimally invasive, it is considered a much safer alternative to plastic surgery with no downtime following treatment. Women can return to normal activity, including sex, immediately after the Clitoxin® Procedure. Some women experience minimal bleeding immediately following PRP vaginal rejuvenation. Additionally, the numbing medication may take several hours to wear off.
How long do the results of the Clitoxin® Procedure last? How often do I get injections? Is it permanent?
No, the Clitoxin® Procedure is not permanent. Though results of the O-Shot® alone can last up to 2 years, the additional results of the Clitoxin® Procedure have been shown to last up to six months so far. We typically recommend semi-annual to annual sessions of both the O-Shot® and the Clitoxin® Procedure in order to maintain results. However, each person’s anatomy and thus, results vary.
Am I an ideal candidate?
Women going through menopause, as well as women who experience painful sex, lubrication problems, low arousal, difficulty achieving orgasm or who have mild stress urinary incontinence are ideal candidates for this procedure.
It is also an excellent treatment for women who simply wish to enhance their sex lives and sexual response.
However, if the only symptom you wish to treat is pain with intercourse, your response to the O-Shot®/Clitoxin® Procedures may not be as great. Please schedule a consultation for additional information.
What conditions are helped by the Clitoxin® Procedure?
- Decreased libido (sex drive)
- Stress urinary incontinence
- Dryness (with resulting painful intercourse) from menopause or from cancer treatment
- Decreased ability to orgasm
- Pain with intercourse (dyspareunia)*
- Urge urinary incontinence
- Lichen sclerosus
- Lichen planus
- Chronic pain from trauma from child birth (g., episiotomy scars)
- Chronic pain from mesh (midurethral sling)
- Chronic interstitial cystitis
*If the only symptom you wish to treat is pain with intercourse, your response to the O-Shot®/Clitoxin® Procedures may not be as great. Please schedule a consultation for additional information.
The Clitoxin® Procedure sounds great! Will it be enough to fix all my sexual problems?
There are many factors that contribute to sexual dysfunction, such as plaque buildup in penile or clitoral blood vessels, unbalanced or low hormones, depression/anxiety, diseases affecting the genitals such as Peyronie’s Disease and lichen sclerosus, tobacco use and more. The Clitoxin® Procedure is very effective as a standalone procedure, but can be administered in conjunction with another PRP therapy called the Vampire WingLift, the Alma Duo Shock Wave Therapy, bio-identical hormones (BHRT), medications, supplements, peptides, tobacco cessation and healthy weight management to optimize results.
How much does the Clitoxin® Procedure cost?
The price depends on the condition of the skin of your vulva and vagina to begin with, as well as your treatment goals: the O-Shot® costs $1500 for a basic O-Shot® and $1800 for an O-Shot® to treat lichen sclerosus, lichen planus or other vulvar conditions. The Clitoxin® Procedure includes the O-Shot® Procedure, 50 units of botulinum toxin and costs $1200 more than the O-Shot® Procedure.
Combining the O-Shot®/Clitoxin® Procedure with Alma Duo™ Shockwave therapy and bio-identical hormone replacement (BHRT) will provide ultimate results and the best value!
We also offer the Trifecta Package For Women, which includes the O-Shot®/Clitoxin® Procedure, Vampire Facial® or FaceLIft® and Vampire BreastLift®, all performed during the same session at a reduced package price.
