What is The O-Shot Used For?
What is the O-Shot used for? We frequently get asked this question at Elite Aesthetics, likely because Dr Shirin was the first female doctor in the UK trained to provide this treatment to patients. She now delivers training throughout the UK and is considered one of the leading experts in her field. With this well-deserved recognition, she is often the first person clients wish to consult about the treatment and its potential benefits.
The O-Shot has received extensive coverage for its remarkable healing abilities, but there are numerous stories about its success in various ways that can make it confusing to understand exactly what it is intended for!
This blog will look at this groundbreaking treatment and what it could help you with; read on as we answer the question, ‘What is the O-Shot used for?’
What Is The O-Shot?
The O-Shot is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is derived from your blood and made into a serum.
To make this powerful serum, a small amount of your blood is drawn and spun in a high-speed centrifuge. This separates the platelets in the blood, and this is what is known as PRP.
The O-Shot focuses on the intimate regions, specifically targeting the vagina by stimulating stem cells to generate new tissue. This includes collagen and fatty tissue, essential for structure and lubrication, 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 as well as treating a variety of other concerns.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment can also be applied across the entire body, addressing various concerns such as hair loss and reducing signs of ageing. The procedure has been used for decades to heal wounds and joint injuries.
This treatment is a natural remedy that harnesses your body’s growth factors to stimulate healing and rejuvenation.
What Is The O-Shot Used For?
So far, so good, but what is the O-Shot used for?
It actually has a whole range of uses, which is why it is such a popular treatment. It can be used for enhancing and improving sexual function, treating incontinence, managing symptoms of Lichen Sclerosus and many more. The main uses are outlined in detail below.
Sexual Function
The increased blood flow and collagen production increase sensitivity and arousal. It also works to enhance lubrication, all of which can result in stronger and more frequent orgasms, as well as reducing any pain and discomfort during intercourse.
Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence can be an embarrassing and debilitating condition, but the O-Shot has proven to be a successful long-term solution to all types of incontinence. Our previous patients have experienced an overall improvement in stress incontinence symptoms and a significant reduction in the frequency and urgency of urination.
Aesthetic Concerns
Signs of ageing aren’t limited to your face, and as a woman, your body, including your vagina, experiences extreme changes, including childbirth and hormonal fluctuations. The O-Shot provides natural rejuvenation of the labia and vaginal opening, resulting in a tighter vagina and improved overall appearance and texture of the intimate area.
Treat Conditions
The O-Shot has successfully treated symptoms of conditions such as Lichen Sclerosus, post-menopausal dryness and atrophy.
Lichen sclerosus is a skin condition that affects the skin of the genitals, appearing as white spots and resulting in itching, burning pain and scarring.
Atrophy occurs when the vaginal walls thin, dry out, and become inflamed due to a decrease in oestrogen levels. It can cause painful intercourse and urinary symptoms, including incontinence and burning stinging pain when urinating.
These conditions can be challenging to treat efficiently, and treatments usually offer only short-term relief. The O-Shot is proven to work long-term and harnesses your body’s healing power to reduce symptoms.
The O-Shot’s Successes
The O-Shot has many great success stories here at Elite Aesthetics. One of our proudest is Sam, who battled Lichen Sclerosus for decades before Dr Shirin could offer a treatment that would successfully relieve her symptoms.
Sam started experiencing symptoms of LS as a teenager, and by her mid-20s, Sam’s symptoms had increased in severity, including extremely painful sex.
After experiencing a vaginal split during sex, she was prescribed lidocaine and steroid cream. She would use these creams to help to numb the area to make sex more comfortable. Whilst the creams helped reduce pain, they didn’t enhance her sex life, and she became immune to them over time.
At age 34, her gynaecologist diagnosed her with Lichen Sclerosus; late diagnosis is common because symptoms are often passed off as other conditions.
Receiving a diagnosis was a relief; however, with that diagnosis came the knowledge that LS has no definitive cure. Your doctor can prescribe many treatments, and several can offer temporary relief, but very few work efficiently as long-term solutions.
Sam tried all of the most common Lichen Sclerosus treatments, including steroid creams, fat transplants, and surgery. After so many years of searching for the answer, she was about to give up until she discovered Dr Shirin, who recommended trying a PRP treatment.
The O-Shot has proved to be a reliable treatment for Sam, and she couldn’t be happier with the results. Sex is no longer painful; she doesn’t get sore or itchy, and the O-Shot has significantly improved her mental health, her day-to-day life, and her relationship. She could even wear jeans again, which had been impossible for years as it was so uncomfortable.
As well as Sam, here are some other testimonials and feedback we have received.
“Everyone on the team made my experience very comfortable and pleasant through every part of the treatment, including aftercare. Throughout, I felt listened to, cared for and treated with great empathy and respect. Thank you”
“I’ve had treatment for Lichen Sclerosus before and each time the treatment was delivered with a professional and friendly service.”
“All the staff were friendly, welcoming and professional. I had an intimate treatment, which could leave people feeling vulnerable, but everyone was completely professional and put me at ease.”
“Great service. Very professional. I was afraid of the O shot and the doctor put me at ease. Felt hardly any pain and the following day I felt as if nothing had happened. Thank you.”
