Ho-hum sex life. Low libido. Lackluster (or non-existent) orgasms.
Women used to have to put up with less-than-satisfactory sex lives that came along with the physical and hormonal changes, childbirth, injury, aging or as the result of their anatomical predisposition for sexual response.
Today, Women Have Options
The O-Shot® is a simple, easy treatment that can help boost sexual response and energy while improving overall vaginal health and fighting urinary incontinence.
What is the O-Shot®? The O-Shot® is a revolutionary vaginal rejuvenating treatment that provides a non-surgical, minimally invasive option for women who are experiencing stress urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness and low libido and unsatisfactory sexual responsiveness.
The O-Shot® uses growth factors from a woman’s own blood plasma to stimulate vaginal and clitoral rejuvenation and activate a rapid improvement in sexual sensations and desire.
How Does the O-Shot® Work?
The O-Shot® is a series of injections to the vaginal area with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This growth-factor-rich serum is derived from a woman’s own blood. PRP therapy has been used by doctors for decades to successfully and safely enhance wound and cartilage healing as well as skin rejuvenation. By using these same healing and stimulating properties in the clitoris and vaginal, women can experience a heightened orgasmic response and an improvement in urinary incontinence symptoms.
Over a few weeks, the PRP encourages cell and tissue growth, increase in blood flow and neural response in the clitoris and vaginal walls.
Who Can Benefit From the O-Shot®?
The O-Shot® is for women of all ages who suffer from dull vaginal sensation, vaginal looseness due to age or childbirth, women who have never had an orgasm and women looking to improve sensation during sex.
The O-Shot® can help improve conditions such as:
- Decreased libido
- Vaginal dryness
- Vaginal laxity
- Reduced ability to orgasm
- Urinary incontinence
- Lichen sclerosus and lichen planus
- Urinary incontinence
- Postpartum fecal incontinence
- Chronic pain from trauma from childbirth (episiotomy scars)
- Chronic pain from mesh
- Recurring interstitial cystitis (urinary tract infections)
Know your options and live the life you want.
Schedule an Appointment TodayWhat Should I Expect During O-Shot® Treatment?
The O-Shot® is a relatively painless in-office procedure that takes only about 30 minutes and requires no downtime after the appointment.
First, the provider draws a blood sample that is then filtered and put through a centrifuge to isolate the platelets from the blood. This PRP is used to rejuvenate the vaginal area.
A topical numbing cream is applied to the injection sites. Most patients report no discomfort or pain during the injection process. Your provider will make two injections: one directly under the clitoris and one into the upper vaginal area – between the top of the vagina and the urethra.
The growth factors begin to work immediately by plumping the treated areas and by activating the stem cells in the vaginal and clitoral tissues for new growth and regeneration.
Immediately after treatment patients may notice minor spotting which should last no more than a few hours.
What Should I Expect After the O-Shot®?
Many patients experience noticeable improvements within the first three weeks following treatment, but the full regrowth of tissue is not complete until approximately three months after the injection. On average, the O-Shot® lasts about 12-18 months.
What Are the Benefits of the O-Shot®?
Benefits of O-Shot® can include:
- Relief from painful intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Increased clitoral sensitivity
- Improved skin texture of the vulva
- Tightened vaginal opening
- Increased arousal from G-spot stimulation
- More intense and more frequent orgasms
- Increased ability for vaginal orgasms
- Increased vaginal lubrication
- Increase sexual desire and heightened libido
- Improved urinary control
Do You Need Downtime After the O-Shot® Procedure?
Following O-Shot® treatment, most patients experience no side effects or downtime and can return to work, daily activities and sexual activity the same day.
Is the O-Shot® Safe?
PRP treatments have proven effective as anti-aging facial cosmetic treatments, and they are a trusted method for improving and speeding healing in athletic injuries.
If your sex life could use a boost or if you are looking for a non-surgical way to treat urinary incontinence or lichen sclerosus, the O-Shot® may be the right choice for you.
