One of the latest additions to our suite of treatments for sexual health is the O-Shot ® procedure, or “orgasm shot.” A term first coined by Charles Runels, MD, the first to utilize PRP in the female pleasure zone, the O-shot uses a woman’s own blood for vaginal rejuvenation and enhanced sexual pleasure.
You may have heard about platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, used in other areas of our business, such as Men’s Sexual Health, Hair Loss Treatment, and skin rejuvenation. The platelets in our blood contain growth factors; when we draw them out of our blood, we can re-inject these platelets in small, target areas to activate stem cells and rejuvenate the tissue in the prescribed area. This catalyzes regrowth and increases tissue function in these areas.
The O-Shot primarily addresses concerns related to female sexual function, such as:
The O-shot for women benefits any female looking to increase sexual pleasure, tightness, and desire. Women who suffer from urinary incontinence will also benefit from the effects of the O-Shot. As a team, we work to provide the best recommendations for our patients.
The O-Shot procedure is just one service in our suite of women’s sexual health protocols; we also offer Core Intima. However, the first step in determining what the best protocol is for you is meeting with our team of sexual health experts and functional medicine practitioners, who are here to listen to your concerns and goals, ready to provide you with expert recommendations on the appropriate treatment protocol.
Some women may benefit from combining The O-Shot with CORE Intima laser treatments or surgical options. CLICK HERE to learn more about the surgical options for Genital Aesthetics offered at Belcara Health.
The O-Shot is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their normal daily activities shortly after the procedure. You may experience some mild discomfort or soreness at the injection site for a short period.
Aftercare Instructions:
PRP stimulates collagen production, enhances blood flow, and improves nerve sensitivity, leading to increased sexual arousal and enhanced orgasms. You can expect to see continued improvements over the course of several months after your procedure.
The vaginal rejuvenation process begins immediately, and the effects of the O-shot can last 1-2 yrs. Every patient is different, however, and we will typically recommend a check-in with our provider to evaluate whether a second maintenance shot is needed in a given time period.
Discomfort is minimal. The treatment area is numbed with a topical cream, and most patients report only mild discomfort or a slight pinching sensation during the injections.
The O-Shot is generally considered safe, but potential risks include minor bruising, swelling, or discomfort at the injection site. Infection is a rare but possible risk.
The entire procedure, including blood draw and PRP preparation, usually takes about 30-60 minutes.
Individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an active infection at the injection site, or are on blood thinners may not be suitable candidates.
It's essential to discuss any existing medical conditions with your healthcare provider to determine if the O-Shot is safe and appropriate for you.
