O-SHOT® in Scottsdale AZ

O-SHOT® SCOTTSDALE ARIZONA

What is the O-Shot®?

The use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has grown tremendously in sexual medicine due to its proven regenerative potential. The O-Shot® was originally described as the placement of PRP into certain areas in the female genital area to enhance sensation and the female orgasm system. Now, there are elevated versions of the O-Shot®, such as the Advanced O-Shot®, that we offer to patients in Scottsdale, Phoenix, Mesa, and surrounding areas. It takes the classic treatment and gives it a boost by incorporating beneficial components such as B vitamins. Call to learn more.

IS THERE AN O-SPOT? WHAT ABOUT THE G-SHOT OR THE G-SPOT?

The O-Spot is an anatomical area where the PRP is injected to help with a variety of conditions, especially female sexual dysfunction and urinary incontinence.

The G-Shot is a procedure used to describe the injection of fillers, most commonly HA fillers (such as Restylane® or Juvederm®) to augment the area where the nerves are located to increase the volume and surface area of contact in order to enhance the orgasm response during sex. A PRP vaginal rejuvenation treatment is more regenerative and can help provide the growth factors necessary to help with nerve regeneration as well as the support structures involved in the treatment of urine incontinence.

WHY CHOOSE THE O-SHOT® TREATMENT?

O-Shot® Phoenix AZ Research has shown that sexual dysfunction and urinary incontinence affect more than 60% of women and 58% of postmenopausal women experience vaginal dryness.

Many women need to realize that they are not alone in this. As women go through normal aging, hormonal changes, and life events such as childbirth, their bodies change. Taking a longer time to achieve an orgasm, or experiencing less intense orgasms, are more common than previously realized. Women most likely also experience urinary leakage with common activities such as sneezing and laughing or have some vaginal dryness. There are now effective options available for these problems.

In female rejuvenation at our Scottsdale, AZ office, Dr. Ong uses the regenerative capabilities of PRP selectively to help the treatment of urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness (atrophic vaginitis), and certain gynecologic disorders such as lichen sclerosis.

Many post-menopausal women or patients with gynecological cancers with severe vaginal dryness are unable to have sexual intercourse due to the lack of lubrication or secondary to pain at the entrance of their vagina (introitus). These women are able to benefit from the healing capabilities of PRP and are able to engage in non-painful sexual relations again.

The use of radiofrequency technology such as ThermiVA® and PRP in combination (Thermi-O™) has been very promising and amplifies the results of each individual treatment alone in the approach to these common concerns. Many of our patients have had profound life-changing results from the Thermi-O™ treatment.


the Advanced O-shot

There are a few things that we know make a difference in terms of outcomes.
The first is the product the second is the environment.

The Product = your PRP. Your PRP is as good as:-your current state of health, processing of your blood to create the PRP.

The Environment = your Body. Your environment is good as:- well, your internal current state of health. Your current state of oxidative stress, amount of nutrients (or lack of), hormonal status, etc.
As we age, our internal bodily systems start to accumulate oxidative stress and systems start to wear down. For most women, a boost of concentrated growth factors, delivered to the area helps  O-shot® supply the necessary “ingredients” needed to create the changes.

To elevate this even further, the advanced O-shot adds a few additional “ingredients” into the mix:-
Happy mature woman with arms outstretched feeling the breeze at beach. Beautiful middle aged woman with red hair and arms up dancing on beach in summer during holiday.

  • Ozone
  • B vitamins and dextrose (sugar) are important for nerve regeneration
  • Growth factors from the placenta, which contain much more concentrated growth factors that we can produce from PRP alone.

The Advanced O-shot is available at the Ong Institute to further elevate your outcomes.


How does the O-Shot work?

The key to the O-Shot is the platelet-rich plasma. Because PRP contains such a high concentration of blood platelets, combined with a series of growth factors and cytokines, it plays a key role in healing the body.

Of course, everyone knows how platelets work to clot the blood and close the wound after an injury. But it’s only been in the last 20 years or so that research has shown that platelets offer way more than simply clotting power. Their growth factors and cytokines stimulate various healing processes to not only help close the wound but then to trigger processes to heal the wound with new tissue growth.

That’s where PRP first became a standard treatment, in the healing of injury or to speed recovery after surgery in professional athletes.

What’s good for a knee joint is good for a woman’s clitoral and vaginal areas. The same regeneration and rejuvenating qualities inherent in PRP work to renew tissues in the vaginal areas. The growth factors, in particular, work to increase sensitivity throughout the injected tissues. They also increase lubrication, which is an almost universal problem for women as they age. They help to tighten loose tissues responsible for urinary incontinence. The PRP can even increase interest in sex for some patients.


WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE THE ONG INSTITUTE FOR THE O-SHOT®?

Some practices see the O-Shot® as just another procedure, but Dr. Ong sees this as a perfect part of the Ong Institute’s overall mission to make a positive difference in our patients’ lives.

For the O-Shot® treatment, two areas separate Dr. Ong from others: her expertise and our technology.

O-Shot® Scottsdale AZ Dr. Ong is a certified trainer of the O-Shot® procedure. She has extensive experience and teaches this procedure to other medical providers. The Ong Institute is also an O-Shot® Certified Provider.

To create the platelet-rich plasma we use for this procedure, we use the Emcyte PurePRP® SupraPhysiologic system. As a result of 20 years of bioengineering research, the PurePRP® SupraPhysiologic system provides the most powerful concentration of deliverable regenerative cells, without the contaminants found in most PRP products. This closed-system centrifuge delivers up to 32 percent higher levels of platelet yield than other systems. Higher volumes of deliverable platelets mean there are dramatically higher levels of platelet growth factors and cytokines. This creates even more stimulus for tissue repair and regeneration.

Dr. Ong’s unique approach of integrating other regenerative solutions enhances her O-Shot® treatment results.

  • Placental-Derived Growth Factors — Growth factors from placentas can provide up to 1000 times the amount of growth factors of PRP.
  • Ozone Therapy – This treatment helps deliver oxygen to the tissues. This further enhances the growth factors delivered.
  • Nutrients – Vitamins, and other important nutrients, support nerve and tissue healing.
  • Peptide therapy – Peptides are protein signals that direct cell function. Anti-inflammatory and regenerative peptides are used to aid in tissue regeneration.
  • ThermiVa® — Vaginal rejuvenation treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten tissues and initiate new collagen and elastin formation. The combination of the O-Shot® with ThermiVa® is termed “Thermi-O.”
  • vFit+ — We provide this home system that maintains your results through the combination of LED energy, gentle heat, and sonic technology.

WHO IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR THE O-SHOT® AT ONG INSTITUTE?

The changes that come with aging and menopause are a part of life, but that doesn’t mean they also have to spell the end of your sex life. Almost two-thirds of women experience vaginal dryness after menopause and about the same number suffer from urinary incontinence. Enjoying sex is a part of being human, and that shouldn’t go away with the passing years because your vaginal lubrication and sensitivity have declined.

If you’re experiencing increased vaginal dryness, have found your ability to achieve orgasm has decreased, are dealing with bladder leakage when you sneeze or cough, or are experiencing pain at the entrance of your vagina, the O-Shot® from Dr. Ong could be a great option.


Is there any preparation necessary before having an O-Shot?

No, these are non-invasive treatments, so there aren’t any incisions or recovery. Dr. Ong will apply topical numbing cream prior to your session, but it doesn’t have restrictions as with general anesthesia.

THE O-SHOT® PROCEDURE In Scottsdale, AZ

O-Shot® Mesa AZ The procedure is done as follows:

1. First blood is drawn from a vein to be processed to obtain the platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
2. A small amount of topical numbing ointment is placed on the treatment area.
3. A clitoral block (local anesthetic block) is performed, with the use of ice to help numb the area.
4. The PRP is mixed with several ingredients to activate the platelets and to reduce the discomfort during the injection.
5. PRP is injected into specific areas to help treat your area of concern.

There are mild swelling and discomfort, but most patients do not need to take anything more than Tylenol®. The entire procedure takes less than 10 minutes after the PRP is processed, and there are no activity restrictions afterward.

Dr. Ong is a certified trainer of the O-Shot® procedure and teaches this procedure to other medical providers. In addition, the PRP processing method we utilize helps us achieve the highest growth factor concentration for optimal results.

How long does the O-Shot procedure take?

 

Taking your blood, creating the platelet-rich plasma, and then injecting the PRP into your vaginal tissues sounds like it must take lots of time, but that’s not the case. Thanks in part to Dr. Ong’s sophisticated Pure PRP® SupraPhysiologic system, which creates the most powerful concentration in just minutes, the whole O-Shot process takes only around 30-45 minutes.

What Are the Benefits of B Vitamins in the Advanced O-Shot®?

B vitamins play a leading role in the advanced product that we use during our new O-Shot® treatments. The primary reason for including B vitamins is that they help with nerve regeneration. This may positively impact sensation and support the female orgasm system. In addition, this family of vitamins is thought to strengthen your blood vessels and improve blood flow.

What Is Vaginal Ozone Therapy?

Ozone therapy is an innovative treatment we often combine with the traditional O-Shot® as part of our advanced product offering. Vaginal ozone therapy involves administering a blend of oxygen and medical-grade ozone to the vaginal area. This simple treatment is comfortable and quick, though we encourage you to bring a book or browse your phone to help pass the time.

Our clinic provides vaginal ozone therapy in Scottsdale to enhance the effects of the O-Shot® treatment. The purpose of incorporating ozone therapy is to deliver oxygen to the tissues.

Vaginal ozone therapy can be repeated as needed. Our doctor will work with you to schedule vaginal ozone therapy at an appropriate frequency for your specific feminine health concerns.

Why Is Dextrose Used During Non-Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Dextrose is the name of a simple sugar that is chemically identical to blood sugar (glucose). Made from corn or wheat, dextrose has a wide variety of medical applications. For example, therapeutic injections of dextrose water have been used to treat nerve pain. At our practice, Dr. Ong frequently incorporates dextrose into O-Shot® treatments with the goal of supporting nerve regeneration. The use of adjunct therapies such as dextrose injections, B vitamin injections, and ozone therapy sets our O-Shot® treatments apart — and sets you up for success.

Does Insurance Cover O-Shot® Treatments?

Insurance providers rarely cover O-Shot treatments because they are deemed elective. However, there are other ways to make this powerful rejuvenation service work within your budget. Our practice offers flexible financing options to help you manage the costs associated with improving your intimate health. And remember, this is an investment in yourself! You deserve a great sex life, bladder control, and vaginal comfort. It’s time to stop suffering in silence and learn how our financing options can help put transformative O-Shot® treatments within your reach. Our friendly staff is available to discuss your financial commitment in detail and eliminate the fear of unknown medical expenses. After all, you are our top priority, and we want you to thrive.


O-SHOT® FAQS

Will I need multiple O-Shots? »

What kind of results can I expect from the O-Shot®? »

Dr. Ong places two injections for the O-Shot: one in the clitoris and one in the vaginal wall.

These are meant to be single treatments. But we have found that a second session from 6 to 12 months after the first session seems to maximize benefits.

When will I experience my results, and how long do results from an O-Shot last? »

Every patient responds a little differently to these injections. Some of Dr. Ong’s O-Shot patients report an immediate improvement. But that’s not the norm. For most patients, the growth factors usually take about two weeks to fully take effect. From there, results build to a maximum level in from 3 to 4 months.

Our Ong Institute patients report results lasting from 1 to 2 years. Ongoing annual maintenance O-Shots maintain your results.

What conditions can the O-Shot® address? »

  • Vaginal dryness
  • Urinary incontinence
  • Decreased clitoral sensation
  • Decreased ability to achieve orgasm
  • Pain during intercourse at the vaginal entrance

How often can I get an O-Shot?»

There’s not any reason to increase the frequency of your O-Shots with Dr. Ong. She recommends returning when you notice a drop in your sensitivity and the other benefits from the O-Shot. So, while there isn’t a limit to how often you can have an O-Shot (after all, we are only injecting platelet-rich plasma created from your own blood), you won’t see your results multiple with more frequent injections.

Is the O-Shot® procedure safe? »

PRP is safe because:

  • It is obtained from the patient’s own blood.
  • It’s natural, with no foreign substance.
  • There have been no reported serious side effects in more than 8,000 papers published.

However, not everyone is a good candidate for this procedure. If Dr. Ong is unable to perform the PRP procedure for medical reasons, she can guide you to other treatment alternatives that can help.

Other options include the use of topical growth factors, the use of more potent regenerative options such as amniotic fluid or radiofrequency treatments.  Sometimes, a surgical procedure may be required for your concern.

HOW MUCH PAIN WILL I EXPERIENCE? »

Of the many patients that Dr. Ong has treated, the pain has been reported as mild (2-3 out of a scale of 10). She takes several steps to help reduce the discomfort you might experience. This may include the use of topical anesthetic cream, local anesthetic block, ice, or other cooling devices for anesthesia. The anticipation and thought of the procedure usually cause more anxiety and stress for the patient than the actual procedure itself.

Can the O-Shot® be combined with ThermiVa®? »

Dr. Ong has found great success in combining ThermiVa®, the vaginal rejuvenation treatment that uses radiofrequency to tighten and rejuvenate inner and outer vaginal tissue, with the PRP growth factors and rejuvenation qualities of the O-Shot®. Dr. Ong feels these two procedures complement one another very well. Here at the Ong Institute,  the advanced O-shot® is also offered, where additional nutrients and growth factors are added to enhance outcomes.

When can I return to sexual activity after the O-Shot®? »

There isn’t any prescribed downtime after the O-Shot®, but there can be some soreness at the site of injection for a day or so. Patients can return to work or other activities immediately.
