Some women notice improvements within a few weeks, while others may see full results after a few months.
Yes, many women experience a reduction in urinary incontinence after the O-Shot® due to the strengthening of the vaginal walls.
There is little to no downtime, and most patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
The O-Shot treats several conditions related to menopause and childbirth, including postpartum vaginal laxity, urinary incontinence, chronic pain from childbirth, dryness, chronic inflammation (lichen sclerosis), and more.
Dr. Barad or Aesthetic Skin & Laser Center’s fully licensed aestheticians draw blood from your arm. This tube of your blood is then placed in a special centrifuge, which spins the blood to produce platelet-rich plasma. A powerful numbing cream is applied to the vaginal area, and once the area is adequately numbed, for about 30 minutes, Lidocaine is also strategically injected to ensure good numbing of the area to be treated. The PRP is then carefully injected, providing a pain-free experience.
Dr. Barad has been fully certified by the Cellular Medicine Association, the licensing body for this procedure. The O-Shot takes approximately 60 minutes to perform
Possible side effects are only those typical to any type of injection, like minor bleeding or bruising at the injection site, and rarely, infection.
Immediately after treatment, you are free to drive yourself and resume your daily activities. Benefits are typically noticed within days of the treatment but may take several months. We recommend that sexual activity be resumed on the day of the procedure, as this helps circulate the growth factors to the desired tissues.
If there is minimal improvement after the first O-shot, another treatment at 1 month is recommended. Rarely, some women require a series of monthly O-shots to get to their desired endpoint. Sometimes hormone level evaluations are needed to optimize outcomes. Most women have yearly treatments to maintain optimal sexual function.
Some women may not respond to the O-Shot—or may not be candidates if they have poor platelet function or have anatomy that limits certain outcomes.
