When you begin to notice subtle changes in your sexual wellness, such as less sensitivity, slower arousal, difficulty reaching orgasm, or increased dryness, you may wonder if it’s “just aging” or if there’s something you can do to feel more like yourself. You might find that intimacy feels different from how it used to, or that mild urinary leakage has started to creep into your daily routine. These symptoms can affect your confidence and connection to your body.
If you’ve been looking for a safe, non-surgical option to restore sensitivity, improve pleasure, and support vaginal comfort, the O-Shot® may be worth considering. At Vitalogy Health and Integrative Medicine in Denver, this regenerative treatment is part of a broader approach to empowered sexual wellness. In this guide, you’ll learn what the O-Shot is and the factors that help determine if it’s right for you.
What is the O-Shot?
The O-Shot is a non-surgical procedure that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to rejuvenate the clitoral and vaginal tissues. PRP is created by drawing a sample of your blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets, the cells rich in growth factors that support healing, collagen production, improved blood flow, and enhanced nerve function.
Once prepared, the PRP is injected into specific areas of the vagina and clitoris. As the growth factors begin to stimulate new tissue activity, many women experience increased sensitivity, improved ability to orgasm, enhanced lubrication, and greater overall comfort during intimacy. Some also notice a reduction in mild urinary incontinence over time.
Because the treatment uses your own blood, it is considered very safe and requires no downtime. Most women resume normal activities immediately.
Is the O-Shot right for you?
Before deciding whether this treatment is a good fit, it’s helpful to understand the core purpose of the O-Shot: to restore sensitivity and responsiveness in tissues affected by age-related changes, hormonal shifts, or reduced blood flow. Below are the key factors to consider:
You experience decreased sensitivity or difficulty reaching orgasm
If it takes longer to become aroused, you’re struggling to orgasm, or the sensations you used to enjoy feel muted, you might be an excellent candidate. The O-Shot’s growth factors can help stimulate new nerve growth and boost circulation, both of which improve sexual sensation.
You notice changes related to perimenopause or menopause
Hormonal shifts can thin vaginal tissues, decrease lubrication, and reduce clitoral volume or sensitivity. If these changes have affected your sexual experience, the O-Shot may help revitalize the tissues, improve moisture levels, and support greater comfort during intimacy.
You experience vaginal dryness that affects pleasure or comfort
Dryness can make sex more difficult or even painful. Because PRP encourages tissue hydration and collagen production, many women find the O-Shot helps restore natural lubrication over time, making sexual intimacy more enjoyable.
You struggle with mild urinary incontinence
If you experience occasional leaks when coughing, laughing, or exercising, the regenerative effects of the O-Shot may strengthen the tissues that support bladder control. While not meant as a standalone urinary incontinence treatment, many women notice meaningful improvement.
You want a non-surgical, natural approach
Some women prefer to avoid medications or invasive procedures. Because the O-Shot uses your own blood with no added chemicals or artificial substances, it offers a natural option focused on regeneration and enhancement.
You want improvements that feel subtle and natural
The O-Shot does not create sudden or extreme changes. Instead, it gradually enhances sensitivity, circulation, and lubrication. If you’re seeking natural-feeling improvements that align with your body’s own rhythms, this treatment may be well-suited to your goals.
You do not currently have a UTI or vaginal infection
To ensure safety, the O-Shot should not be performed while you have an active urinary tract infection, vaginal infection, or undiagnosed vaginal symptoms. Once resolved, you may be able to proceed with treatment.
What to expect if you are a good candidate
If the factors above resonate with you, your provider will begin with a consultation to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and goals.
On the day of treatment, a numbing cream is applied to maximize comfort. Your blood is drawn, processed into PRP, and carefully injected into the clitoral and vaginal tissues. The entire visit typically lasts under an hour. You may feel temporary fullness or mild sensitivity for a day or two, but most women resume normal activities immediately and can return to intimacy the same day if comfortable. Early improvements may appear within 2 to 3 weeks, with the full benefits developing over two to three months as tissue regeneration continues.
Many women enjoy the benefits for 1 to 2 years. Depending on your symptoms and goals, periodic follow-ups may help maintain optimal improvement. Because your body continues to age and hormone levels continue to shift, maintenance can be a helpful part of sexual wellness.
If you’re experiencing decreased sensitivity, dryness, difficulty with orgasm, or mild incontinence, the O-Shot may offer a safe, natural, and regenerative way to reconnect with your body and enhance your sexual wellness. At Vitalogy Health and Integrative Medicine in Denver, we offer treatments that help you feel renewed and confident from within. If you think the O-Shot might be right for you, scheduling a consultation is the best first step toward understanding your options.
