Revolutionize Your Sex Life with the O-Shot
The Orgasm Shot, or O-Shot®, is used to enhance sexual arousal, treat urinary incontinence, and improve the overall health of the vaginal tissue. It is a nonsurgical procedure that uses your own prepared blood to inject into the vaginal tissue with no pain or discomfort.
What you can expect after you get the O-Shot:
- Greater sexual arousal from clitoral stimulation
- Greater internal stimulation
- Stronger and more frequent orgasms
- Increased sexual desire
- Decreased painful intercourse (Dyspareunia)
- Decreased urinary incontinence
The O-Shot is a form of
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy, a technique that has been in use for years as a regenerative therapy. PRP treatments direct platelets to the specific areas you would like to improve in function and appearance, such as cheekbones, tear troughs, breast tissue, or even the scalp. Visit our website to learn more about all the PRP treatments Women's Health Practice offers.
