The "O-Shot" is a cosmetic medical procedure that involves the harvesting of a patient's own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and its re-injection into specific areas of the body, such as the vulva, clitoris, and vaginal walls. The goal of the O-Shot is to enhance sexual wellness by improving sexual sensation, sensitivity, and sexual desire.
The O-Shot is performed by a healthcare professional who uses high-speed centrifugation to isolate the PRP and then injects it into the target areas. The treatment typically takes about 30-45 minutes and is performed under local anaesthesia to ensure comfort.
Before the O-Shot procedure, patients may be given specific instructions to prepare the treatment area, which typically includes shavening the area and cleaning it gently. Patients are also encouraged to drink plenty of water and eat a low-fat diet in the days leading up to the procedure.
After the O-Shot procedure, patients may experience some swelling or discomfort at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities immediately following the procedure.
The effects of the O-Shot can be seen immediately and typically last for six to 12 months, at which point maintenance treatments may be recommended. While the O-Shot is generally well-tolerated, as with any medical procedure, there is a slight risk of adverse events such as bleeding, infection, or increased sensitivity at the injection site.
Overall, the O-Shot is a safe and effective procedure that can help enhance sexual wellness in women experiencing decreased sexual desire or sexual discomfort.
