We will take the time to answer all of your questions and help you determine if an O-Shot or P-Shot treatment is right for you.
The O-Shot helps women improve sexual function and overall vaginal health. The procedure uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to rejuvenate the tissues of the vagina and clitoris and relieve symptoms like vaginal dryness, difficulty achieving orgasm, urinary incontinence, and more.
PRP is a growth-factor-rich serum derived from a sample of your blood and then injected into the vaginal area to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. The O-Shot is a great option for women of all ages who are looking to improve their sexual function and overall vaginal health. It is especially beneficial for women who are experiencing menopause, hormonal and physical changes after childbirth, or other conditions that have caused vaginal dryness, pain, or decreased sensitivity.
The P-Shot (short for Priapus, the Greek god of sexuality) is a non-surgical injection of PRP that helps men restore and improve sexual virility through increased growth factors. With a 97% “Worth It” rating on RealSelf.com, the P-Shot is a proven and popular path for making sure you have what it takes to rise to meet the moment.
Sexual wellness has many dimensions. Because PRP works by stimulating and healing your tissues with your body’s own growth factors, it provides holistic benefits, addressing issues related to libido as well as functional symptoms such as dryness or urinary incontinence, which many women experience as a result of hormonal changes. By delivering growth factors directly to the affected tissues, the O-Shot has the potential to provide a range of benefits:
The O-Shot is performed as an outpatient procedure by one of our experienced nurses. The process begins with drawing a small amount of blood, typically from the arm. We then process your blood sample in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the other components.
Next, the treatment area is prepared with a topical anesthetic for maximum comfort. Using a very fine needle, the PRP is carefully injected into the clitoris and upper vagina, where its growth factors can go directly to work on the tissues. This process usually takes an hour or less, and you are able to return to most of your regular activities right away.
Recovery and aftercare following an O-Shot are typically quick and easy. Most women are able to resume their normal activities immediately, but there are a few things you can do to help promote healing and optimize your results:
Some patients may experience mild side effects, such as swelling, bruising, tenderness, and light bleeding at the injection sites. These side effects are temporary and will typically resolve within a few days. Your Onore specialist will review all aftercare guidelines with you and remain available to answer questions at any time. With proper aftercare, most patients experience a full recovery from O-Shot and begin to enjoy the benefits of the treatment within a few weeks.
Most women begin to experience noticeable improvements in their sexual function within three to seven days of the procedure. However, the full results of the O-Shot may take up to three months to be realized. This is because the PRP needs time to work its magic and promote new tissue growth. The results of the O-Shot can vary from patient to patient, but most patients report experiencing the following benefits:
The results of the O-Shot are typically long-lasting, but some patients may need to have the procedure repeated every one to two years to maintain these benefits and enjoy lasting sexual wellness and enjoyment.
A topical anesthetic applied before the procedure keeps the sensation of the injections minimal. Some patients do not feel anything, while others report a mild pinch or sting. Overall, most people find the process very tolerable. Our experienced nurses use gentle techniques to ensure the most comfortable experience possible.
Some individuals report improvements shortly after the procedure, while others may take a few weeks to notice a difference. Full benefits may continue to develop for up to three months as the platelet-rich plasma stimulates tissue regeneration.
Whether or not you need repeat O-Shot treatments depends on your individual needs and desired results. Some patients experience long-lasting results from a single treatment, while others may need repeat treatments every one to two years to maintain their results. Your Onore provider is always available to consult about additional treatments as needed.
