What is the O-Shot?
The O-Shot (as in “orgasm”) is a minimally invasive sexual rejuvenation treatment for women performed with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the patient’s own blood.
What are the benefits of the O-Shot?
This simple treatment can improve your sexual wellness and quality of life in many ways, including:
- Increasing vaginal moisture and lubrication
- Intensifying sexual sensitivity and sensation
- Improving the frequency and quality of orgasms
- Enhancing libido
- Reducing pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Decreasing urinary incontinence
What is PRP?
PRP is a natural component of the blood containing growth factors that expedites healing and rejuvenation and increases blood flow. It has many medical uses in areas such as orthopedic, spine, and oral surgery. In addition to the O-Shot for women and the P-Shot® for men, the regenerative properties of PRP make it beneficial for many cosmetic procedures such as:
Are there other options for feminine sexual wellness?
While most patients are thrilled with their results, the following options may be performed instead of or in addition to the O-Shot:
- diVa®
- ThermiVa®
- EMSELLA®
- ProFractional® laser
During your personal consultation, Dr. Stanislaus will talk with you about your concerns, review your medical history, and create a treatment plan that is right for you.
What should I expect during my O-Shot treatment?
Your provider will use a syringe to take a small amount of blood from your arm much like a routine blood draw. We will then separate the platelets from the red and white blood cells using a specialized centrifuge.
Dr. Stanislaus will inject the PRP into precise points around your clitoris and/or inside the front wall of your vagina near the G-spot and urethra, depending on the concerns she is addressing.
What is recovery like after the O-Shot?
No downtime is needed, so you can return to your regular everyday activities, including sexual intercourse, the same day. You will feeling some stinging and/or tingling for a few hours.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients need a single treatment, but some choose to have additional treatments spaced 2 months apart to optimize results.
When will I notice the results?
While you may initially have increased sensitivity from the injections themselves, the regenerative process takes about 2 to 4 weeks for blood flow to improve and tissues to rejuvenate and become firmer and more elastic.
How long do O-Shot results last?
Improvements typically last a year and can be maintained with additional treatments.
