The female body undergoes numerous changes throughout life, including those caused by childbirth, aging, and menopause. These changes can bring physical challenges that affect overall health and well-being, especially in intimate areas. Options like the O-Shot offer simple ways to improve intimate health.
At Lively Wellness & Aesthetics in Odessa, TX, the O-Shot is a treatment that supports feminine wellness by focusing on your body’s natural processes. This minimally invasive option can help with concerns related to sexual health, such as dryness or reduced sensitivity, while also addressing certain urinary issues. For many patients, it’s a practical and accessible way to take steps toward improved intimate health.
The O-Shot uses injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to enhance feminine wellness. The PRP is taken from your blood and is rich in beneficial components like growth factors that can stimulate natural healing and tissue rejuvenation. By carefully injecting PRP into specific areas, this treatment can provide many benefits for women.
The O-Shot benefits women by promoting increased sensitivity and enhancing sexual arousal. Many factors, including hormonal changes and childbirth, can impact sensation and responsiveness. Growth factors from platelet-rich plasma improve circulation and support the natural regeneration of tissue.
Platelet-rich plasma offers restorative properties that support overall vaginal health. The treatment helps improve tissue hydration, elasticity, and resilience, which can alleviate discomfort from dryness or irritation. It works with your body’s regenerative processes to maintain a healthy and comfortable environment.
The O-Shot can provide non-surgical relief for women dealing with mild urinary incontinence. As the growth factors in PRP strengthen the vaginal and surrounding tissues, women can experience better bladder control. For women who experience leakage during physical activities or everyday movements, also called stress incontinence, the O-shot may help them regain comfort and freedom.
Postpartum challenges can include increased vaginal laxity after delivery, dryness, reduced sensation, and discomfort. Vaginal rejuvenation stimulates tissue repair and collagen production to tighten tissues and improve sensitivity. Women who have undergone childbirth can find this treatment particularly helpful in regaining physical comfort and sexual wellness.
Menopause causes decreased estrogen levels which can be the main culprit in increased dryness and a decline in tissue integrity, both of which can affect intimacy and vaginal health. The O-Shot can counter these effects and give women a non-medicated way to maintain their intimate health during this natural stage of aging.
Pain during intercourse, known as dyspareunia, can stem from dryness, irritation, or thinning of the vaginal tissues. The O-Shot for women increases natural lubrication and improves the structural integrity of the tissue which can make intimacy more comfortable.
Lichen sclerosus is a chronic condition that can cause itching, discomfort, and changes in the skin around the vulva. Traditional treatments can include the application of ointments or other medications. The O-Shot can offer an alternative solution and may reduce inflammation, improve the skin’s texture, and promote healing.
The first step in the O-Shot treatment is collecting a small sample of your blood. This is usually taken from your arm, similar to a routine blood draw at your doctor’s office. This blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the golden-colored platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from other components such as red blood cells. The PRP is placed in a syringe for injection.
Before the PRP injection, we use a topical numbing cream or local anesthetic to keep you as comfortable as possible. For most people, the process of injecting the PRP is comfortable. Injections are placed in areas such as the clitoral region and the anterior vaginal wall, where the PRP can stimulate tissue repair and improve blood flow. Most treatments take about 30 minutes from start to finish.
The O-Shot is a no-downtime treatment. Any minor swelling or tenderness typically resolves within a day or two. Results, such as improved sensitivity or lubrication, may be present right away, or it could take a few weeks for the regenerative benefits to become apparent. You may also notice continued improvement over the next three months as the PRP stimulates additional tissue regeneration. You may choose to repeat the treatment every 12 to 18 months to enjoy lasting benefits.
The O-Shot can offer a straightforward solution for improving feminine wellness, addressing concerns like reduced sensitivity, dryness, or mild urinary incontinence. At Lively Wellness & Aesthetics in Odessa, TX, Dr. Charles A. Lively, M.D. uses customized treatments to support patients’ health and well-being, focusing on solutions that enhance how you feel and function.
