The Female PRP Shot is a minimally invasive vaginal rejuvenating treatment for women who are experiencing low libido, difficulty achieving orgasm, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse or urinary incontinence.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Female PRP Shot is a dose of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injected directly into a woman’s clitoris and vagina. This growth-factor-rich PRP is safely derived from a woman’s own blood during the procedure in the provider’s office. PRP is widely used to speed healing and new tissue growth, and these same properties stimulate healthy tissue regeneration and improved blood flow in the clitoris and vaginal. These rejuvenated tissues offer women the opportunity to experience a heightened orgasmic response and can also mean an improvement in urinary incontinence symptoms.
- Relief from painful intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Increased clitoral sensitivity and arousal
- Improved skin texture of the vulva (vaginal lips)
- Tightened vaginal opening
- Increased arousal from G-spot stimulation
- More intense and more frequent orgasms
- Increased ability for vaginal orgasms
- Increased vaginal lubrication
- Increase sexual desire and heightened libido
- Improved urinary control
Most women have minor blood spotting following treatment as would happen with any injection. However, there is no downtime after treatment. Women may resume normal activities, including sex, that same day. Women may notice a full feeling in the vagina for one to three days, which is safe and normal. Vaginal swelling may cause an irregular urine stream, which is not dangerous and should resolve itself after a few days.
The PRP growth factors begin to work immediately by plumping the treated areas and by activating the stem cells in the vaginal and clitoral tissues for new growth and regeneration. Many patients experience noticeable improvements within the first three weeks following treatment, but the full regrowth of tissue is not complete until approximately three months after the injection. On average, these injections last about 12-18 months.
It may take up to 12 weeks for the full effects to be experienced and recognized. Women who want an added boost or who want to repeat treatments when the results begin to fade will find that the impact is cumulative, building improvements with each treatment. Because the PRP is created with the woman’s own blood, repeat treatments are safe.
More on the Female PRP Shot
The Female PRP injection has proven to be 90% effective in treating urinary stress incontinence and is also effective in treating urge incontinence.
Just as the PRP helps rejuvenate vaginal and clitoral tissues, it can encourage the tissues that help support the bladder and control urination to regenerate, strengthen and “bulk up” to help decrease the symptoms of stress incontinence.
PRP can also improve blood flow and improve the health of the nerves and tissues responsible for controlling urge incontinence.
Urinary incontinence is a common problem for an estimated 40 percent of women in the U.S., often as a result of pregnancy, childbirth or menopause.
Women who have had Female PRP Injection report more frequent and more intense orgasms. Those who have had difficulty achieving orgasm now find it easier and more satisfying.
For men, PRP therapy is administered in the form 4-5 simple injections which can help to improve many symptoms of sexual dysfunction, including:
- Erectile dysfunction
- Weak erections
- Peyronie’s disease/penile curvature
- Inability to achieve orgasm
- Unsatisfactory penile length and/or girth
Women have reported less vaginal and vulvar pain, including pain during intercourse. Women who experience pain caused by scarring or damaged tissues can often find relief. As the tissues are rejuvenated, they become more resilient and elastic and damaged nerves are helped to heal by the increased blood flow and new tissue growth.
Women who have chronic pain caused by mesh can experience relief with the Female PRP Injections. The PRP treatment reduces inflammation and encourages healing in the tissues and nerves affected by the mesh.
It's easy for libido to be low if you aren't getting any satisfaction out of sex. The Female PRP Injection not only improves sensitivity and sexual response, but it also helps heal the pain that may make women willing to ignore or forgo sex out of fear.
A healthier, more responsive vagina and clitoris paired with better response mean more enthusiasm surrounding sexual activity.
When the Female PRP Injection is used for lichen sclerosis, many women see improvements after their initial treatment, but it is safe to repeat treatments until the desired level of healing is achieved. This means with these treatments, women with lichen sclerosis often go without other treatments such as steroids and simply repeat the Female PRP Injection as needed.
