What is the O-Shot?
The persistent inability to achieve orgasm is not uncommon among women, and can be due to a variety of factors including hormonal fluctuations, side effects from medications, health conditions and even feelings of unhappiness in a relationship. The O-Shot™ is a simple intravaginal injection that harnesses the rejuvenating qualities of your body’s natural healing capacity to improve sexual response.
About the O-Shot
Although it’s estimated that a high percentage of women suffer from sexual problems, very few of them discuss their concerns with their doctor. Female sexual arousal and orgasm involves a complex mix of physical, psychological and emotional issues that are interconnected in ways that medical science doesn’t fully understand. As a result, effective treatments for female sexual dysfunction are too often limited to either short-term hormone therapy or counseling.
What can the O-Shot™ treat?
The O-Shot™, or Orgasm Shot™, is a treatment based on the same regenerative science as platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP), which uses healing factors from a patient’s own blood to rejuvenate the treated area. The O-Shot™ can be beneficial for addressing a number of sexual health-related concerns in women:
- Dyspareunia: Persistent, recurrent pain that takes place prior to, during or immediately after sexual intercourse.
- Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder: Diminished sex drive severe enough to consistently impact quality of life.
- Female Orgasmic Disorder: Affected women can experience arousal but have difficulty achieving orgasm.
- Female Sexual Arousal Disorder: Women may desire sex but not feel the accompanying physical arousal, or may not be able to sustain arousal.
Urinary stress incontinence may also be improved with the O-Shot™.
What can the O-Shot™ treat?
The O-Shot™ is a quick in-office procedure that can be performed in about 10 minutes. First, Dr. Placik draws some blood from the upper arm, similar to any lab test. Next, the blood processed through a centrifuge to spin down the platelet-rich plasma, a natural serum that’s abundant in healing growth factors. This serum is injected into the areas where sexual response is most critical: around the clitoris and in upper vagina. After injection, revitalizing cells can grow and multiply as healthy vaginal tissue is regenerated.
What sexual improvements will I see?
As nourishing factors in the O-Shot™ affect the erogenous tissues, you should notice increased sexual desire, easier vaginal orgasms, a higher level of arousal from clitoral stimulation and stronger orgasms that occur more frequently. Physically, symptoms of dyspareunia can be alleviated, natural lubrication can increase and urinary incontinence may be relieved.
Can the O-Shot™ be combined with other treatments?
The O-Shot™ can be combined with additional genital rejuvenation procedures designed to enhance sexual stimulation, such as clitoral hood reduction or G-spot enhancement.
When will I see improvement?
Although many women notice a temporary improvement right after their Chicago O Shot treatment, the long-term effects are the result of renewed tissue growth, which begins about 3 weeks after treatment and continues to improve for about 12 weeks. In some cases, Dr. Placik may suggest more than one O-Shot™, as a cumulative effect is also possible. However, it’s recommended to wait 6-8 weeks before considering additional treatments.
