About the O-Shot
The O-shot is an injectable treatment that utilizes the regenerative properties of blood to enhance vaginal health and sexual satisfaction. This treatment injects platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into various areas of the genital region to enhance healing capabilities, leading to enhanced tissue performance. This procedure takes a small sample of blood from each patient, which is then processed to separate the plasma before it is administered to the targeted treatment areas. PRP contains over 20 different types of growth factors (1) and over 1,000 proteins that enhance cellular turnover and aid in wound healing. (2)
Benefits of the O-Shot
There are many benefits to receiving the O-shot, including:
- Improved Sexual Health: Many women report enhanced sexual desire and satisfaction.
- Long-Lasting Results: Many patients can enjoy their results for several months before a follow-up injection is recommended.
- Enhanced Orgasm Quality: By increasing the blood flow in the treatment area, many women find that the strength and enjoyment of their orgasms are more satisfying.
- Stimulated Tissue Regeneration: The O-shot can enhance collagen production, leading to firmer, healthier, and more elastic tissue.
- Non-Surgical Procedure: This procedure delivers significant results without requiring the use of incisions or an extensive recovery time.
- Natural Solutions: Since the process uses PRP derived from the patient’s blood, there is a significantly reduced risk of allergic reactions.
Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates for the O-shot typically include women seeking to address discomfort and irritation due to vaginal dryness, difficulty achieving orgasm, urinary incontinence, and pain during sexual intercourse. Those with a low libido, as well as anyone interested in improving the health of their vaginal tissue, may make suitable candidates.
All patients interested in the O-shot should be in good overall health without any medical conditions that may impact their recovery or results. Patients should also have realistic expectations about the treatment outcomes.
Personal Consultation
The first step to enhancing your sexual health is attending a consultation at our office. Dr. Rotemberg or our PA injector will meet with each patient to learn more about their medical history, motivations, and desired outcomes. The treatment area may also be evaluated. We will use the gathered information to create each patient’s treatment plan, altering certain aspects to ensure each patient’s concerns are being addressed. Each patient is encouraged to prepare questions and voice any concerns they may have, as our team is here to support them during each step of the process.

Preparation
To prepare for the O-shot, each patient should discontinue using any blood-thinning medications and supplements. Alcohol should be avoided for several days before and after the procedure, and nicotine use should be ceased for several weeks before and after treatment. Transportation from the treatment should also be arranged, and patients should stay well-hydrated and eat a balanced diet. In addition to these guidelines, we will provide each individual with a detailed set of preparation instructions during their personal consultation.
Procedure
On the day of the procedure, each patient will be led to a private area where their skin will be cleansed and sanitized. Dr. Rotemberg or our PA will draw a sample of each patient’s blood, similar to that of a regular doctor’s appointment. This blood is then processed through a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other cellular components. (2) Once processed, we will administer a small amount of local anesthetic to the genitalia to ensure each patient’s comfort.
The PRP is then injected into various parts of the vaginal region, with certain areas being targeted to help improve the health of the tissue, restore vaginal lubrication, eliminate incontinence, and enhance sensitivity. These areas may include the clitoral area or vaginal walls. (3) The entire procedure takes less than 60 minutes from start to finish, making this treatment ideal for even the busiest of patients.
Recovery
After each patient’s appointment, they are welcome to return to their daily routines, as there is no downtime associated with the O-shot. However, there are certain restrictions patients will need to follow. For the first 24-48 hours of recovery, sexual activity, tampon use, and physical exercise should be avoided. Patients may experience temporary swelling or bruising, but this may be managed using certain over-the-counter pain medications or a cold compress. Further instructions will be provided during each patient’s personal consultation.
Results
The results of the O-shot* will gradually become more apparent after several days to weeks. Patients can start to notice improvements in their natural lubrication, as well as more satisfying experiences during intimacy. Tighter and more elastic vaginal tissue may also be enjoyed. The O-shot provides long-lasting results that can be enjoyed for several months before maintenance injections are recommended.
*While many patients have reported improvements in sexual wellness following PRP treatment, current research is still evolving. The O-Shot offers a promising, minimally invasive option, but more large-scale clinical studies are needed to fully establish its long-term effectiveness.
Corresponding Procedures
Many patients will undergo additional procedures alongside the O-shot for more cohesive rejuvenating results. Common additions include labiaplasty or FemiLift; however, we can perform a range of different treatments to help patients achieve their goals. For more information on the other procedures we offer, we recommend reading Dr. Rotemberg’s blog!
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape, size, and protrusion of the labia minora, or inner vaginal lips. It is completely natural for women to be born with elongated, enlarged, and even asymmetrical labia; however, this can also cause unnecessary pain or self-consciousness. We offer multiple variations of labiaplasty to help patients enhance their comfort and restore their confidence.
FemiLift
FemiLift is a non-invasive vaginal rejuvenation procedure that can help address a wide range of concerns using gentle laser energy. This innovative FDA-cleared system can help reduce burning, itching, and dryness in the vaginal area, leading to an improvement in sexual satisfaction and daily comfort. This treatment can also stimulate collagen production, leading to an improvement in the elasticity and health of the vaginal tissue.
Cost of O-Shot in Miami
The cost of the O-shot may vary, depending on the details of their personalized treatment plan. We will discuss the price of each patient’s treatment during their consultation. Rotemberg Plastic Surgery also offers financing plans through our partners, Patientfi and CareCredit, so that patients can achieve their goals without a financial burden.
