Intimate health is an essential component of a woman’s well-being, affecting confidence, comfort, and quality of life. With advancements in non-surgical feminine wellness treatments, women have safe and effective options to address concerns like dryness, laxity, sexual satisfaction, and urinary incontinence. At Advanced Life Clinic, two popular, medically supervised options are the O-Shot® and Vaginal CO2 Laser (FemVera). Understanding how each treatment works can help you make an informed decision based on your individual needs and goals.

FAQs
Are these treatments safe?
Yes. Both the O-Shot® and Vaginal CO2 Laser are FDA-cleared, non-surgical, and performed by qualified medical professionals.
How long do results last?
Results vary, but benefits often last 12–18 months. Some clients choose periodic maintenance.
Is there downtime?
Both procedures involve minimal to no downtime. Most clients return to normal activities the same day.
Can I combine treatments?
Absolutely. A personalized combination may offer optimal results depending on your needs.
Will I feel discomfort during or after the procedure?
Most patients describe both the O-Shot® and Vaginal CO2 Laser treatments as very tolerable. For the O-Shot®, a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort during the injections. With the Vaginal CO2 Laser, most clients experience only a mild warming sensation, and topical numbing can be provided if needed. Mild sensitivity or spotting may occur after either procedure but typically resolves within a day or two.
