O-Shot

Many women experience changes in sexual function, vaginal dryness, or urinary concerns as they age, but few feel comfortable discussing them. The O-Shot is a non-surgical treatment designed to address these concerns using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. It may help improve sensation, natural lubrication, and overall intimate wellness.

At Physician Artistry, Dr. Bruce Thomas performs the O-Shot as part of our women's wellness program. This is a physician-led treatment in a clinical setting, not a cosmetic procedure offered by unlicensed providers.

What Is the O-Shot?

The O-Shot uses your own platelet-rich plasma to support tissue regeneration in the vaginal and clitoral areas. PRP is drawn from your blood, processed in our office, and injected into targeted areas to encourage new cell growth and improved blood flow.

• Uses your body's own growth factors, no synthetic substances
• Administered by Dr. Thomas using numbing cream for comfort
• Quick in-office procedure with minimal downtime
• May improve sensitivity, moisture, and sexual response
• Can help with mild stress urinary incontinence in some patients

What to Expect

The O-Shot is performed in our Sterling office. A small blood draw is taken and spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. Numbing cream is applied to the treatment area before injection to minimize discomfort.

• Session length: 30 to 45 minutes including prep time
• Downtime: Little to none, most patients resume normal activity the same day
• Sexual activity: Typically advised to wait 24 to 48 hours
• Results timeline: Some women notice changes within a few weeks, full effects may develop over 2 to 3 months
• Duration: Results can last several months to over a year, some patients return for maintenance

Who the O-Shot Is For

This treatment may be a good fit if you're looking for a non-surgical option to support intimate health and function. It's most commonly chosen by women who want to address changes related to aging, hormones, or childbirth.

• Decreased sexual sensation or difficulty achieving orgasm
• Vaginal dryness or discomfort during intercourse
• Mild stress urinary incontinence (light leakage with coughing or exercise)
• Women seeking non-hormonal support for vaginal health
• Patients interested in PRP therapy as part of overall wellness

Dr. Thomas will review your health history and goals during a private consultation. Not every patient is a candidate, and the O-Shot is not a replacement for medical treatment of underlying conditions.

Why Choose Physician Artistry for the O-Shot

Sexual health and intimate wellness are part of whole-body care at Physician Artistry. Dr. Thomas is trained in both the O-Shot and the P-Shot for men, and approaches these treatments with the same clinical rigor he applies to hormone therapy and aesthetic medicine.

We understand these concerns are personal. Your consultation and treatment are private, comfortable, and conducted in a physician-led environment. This is not a spa service. It's a medical treatment delivered by a board-eligible physician with years of experience in sexual wellness and regenerative medicine.
