What Is The O-Shot and What Does It Do?

Many women face common frustrations with their intimate health, such as vaginal dryness, decreased sensitivity, painful sex, and urinary issues. 

These affect not only physical well-being, but also self-confidence and relationships. It doesn’t matter how common these conditions are; many women still feel awkward talking about it, and they often don’t realise that there’s a simple solution available. 

That solution is a groundbreaking non-invasive treatment called the O-Shot. 

But what is the O-Shot? And what makes it so groundbreaking? 

This blog answers all the questions you might have, such as ‘what is O-Shot therapy?’, ‘What is an O-Shot treatment?’, and, most importantly, ‘What can it do for you?’

What is The O-Shot and What Does It Do?

The O-Shot is a non-surgical, minimally invasive injection procedure. It uses a revolutionary solution already used for wound healing and joint injuries: platelet-rich plasma (PRP). 

PRP is derived from your own blood and made into a serum. PRP injections revitalise your vagina by stimulating stem cells to produce new tissue. 

This includes collagen and fatty tissue, essential for structure and lubrication, along with nerve endings and blood vessels. This translates to thicker vaginal tissue, heightened sensitivity, and increased blood flow to erogenous zones, potentially improving your overall sexual experience.

The O-Shot: A Breakthrough In Intimate Health

This treatment can help women’s intimate health in a variety of different ways, helping with sexual function, especially post-menopause, as well as treating other gynaecological conditions. It can also improve the aesthetic of your vagina and vulva.

The O-Shot can help with the following:

Vaginal Dryness 

Dryness can cause sex to be very painful, and this treatment can help to stimulate the rejuvenation of the vaginal tissue. This rejuvenation causes an increase in natural lubrication, resulting in more enjoyable sexual intercourse.

Incontinence

Because PRP treatments promote new tissue growth, they can help to treat all types of incontinence, including stress and urge incontinence.

Painful Sex

PRP procedures help to enhance sexual function and reduce pain by rejuvenating the vaginal walls and increasing natural lubrication.

Low libido

This treatment improves sensitivity and heightens sensations during sexual stimulation. It is proven to increase your libido by increasing blood flow to the areas responsible for sexual pleasure, including the G-Spot.

Sensitivity

This treatment increases blood flow to your vagina and thus increases sensitivity, making sex more heightened and enjoyable.

Vaginal Atrophy

Vaginal atrophy makes your vaginal tissue thin, dry, and inflamed. The treatment can help to enhance sexual function and improve overall urinary health. 

PRP procedures start to work straight away after your treatment, and most patients will notice an improvement in their vaginal atrophy and overall sexual vitality within a few weeks. 

Vaginal Laxity

It can increase your production of collagen, and this turn can help tighten up the vaginal walls.

Lichen Sclerosus

Many Lichen Sclerosus sufferers have benefited from PRP treatments. By helping to heal the damaged tissue, PRP can provide significant relief from Lichen Sclerosus symptoms because it uses the incredible healing ability of your immune system to heal another area. 

You can read our patient Sam’s Lichen Sclerosus story here about how effective the O-Shot has been in treating her LS. 

What Is An O-Shot Treatment Like?

The O-Shot uses a fascinating process that harnesses your own blood’s potential for vaginal rejuvenation. 

Firstly, blood is taken so that your doctor can extract PRP; this process is like any blood test – blood will be drawn from your arm. The next step is to place your blood in a centrifuge, which is a machine that spins it at very high speed. This rapid spinning separates the various components of your blood. 

During this separation, the platelets, rich in growth factors, are concentrated, creating a potent solution called Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). Think of it as a “wonder serum” packed with healing power.

The final step is the injection. Your extracted PRP will be strategically injected into specific areas of your vagina, including the entrance, upper wall, base of the clitoris, and the labia. This injection process aims to stimulate stem cells and potentially improve various aspects of sexual function.

Although this might sound painful, a numbing cream is applied to the vaginal walls, clitoris, and labia. This effective pain relief, combined with the use of a very fine needle and the expertise of Dr Shirin, makes this treatment more comfortable.

You might feel a little sore and experience some mild swelling after the procedure, but this should subside after 24-48 hours. 

Typically, you will start to notice your results after 3 weeks of your initial treatment, and results will steadily increase until about 3 months. It is at this point that you should start experiencing the full benefit.

These results can last up to a year and be topped up when needed.

Why Women Choose the O-Shot

This treatment is so popular because it is safe, natural, and has minimised risks compared to surgery or hormonal intervention.

It is incredibly empowering as it allows women to address embarrassing or taboo concerns.

Results are long-lasting and very versatile too, addressing a wide range of intimate health issues in one non-invasive treatment.
