O-shot
The O-Shot is a minimally invasive procedure that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to rejuvenate the tissues of the clitoris and vagina. PRP is a concentrated form of your own blood that contains growth factors and other proteins that can help to improve blood flow, collagen production, and tissue repair.
The O-Shot can help to improve a woman’s sexual function in a number of ways, including:
- Increasing sexual desire
- Enhancing orgasm intensity
- Reducing vaginal dryness
- Improving urinary incontinence
How it works:
The O-Shot is a simple and quick procedure that is performed at PURE Med Spa.
Step 1: Blood Draw
A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm using a needle and syringe. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the PRP from the other blood cells. The PRP is the concentrated portion of the blood that contains growth factors and other proteins.
Step 2: Injection
The PRP is injected into the clitoris and vagina using a small needle, after a numbing agent has been applied.
