For an O-Shot® at ThrIVe, we source platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood. Then we inject it in and around your vagina. The PRP contains platelets and growth factors that stimulate new, healthy tissue growth, improving your sexual health on a cellular level.
The O-Shot®, also known as the Orgasm Shot®, is a patented treatment for increased sexual pleasure, reduction of urinary incontinence and improved vaginal lubrication. If you’re a woman who suffers from diminished sensitivity, inability to achieve an orgasm, or urinary incontinence the O-Shot® in Wheeling, this may be a solution for you. The O-Shot® uses your body’s natural resources to rejuvenate your most private area.
Activation of the PRP results in release of at least 8 different growth factors that would normally be used to heal injured tissue. These growth facts work like magic go increase collagen and elastin, promote angiogenesis (or the formation of new blood vessels), improve blood flow, and promote formation of new nerve endings.
STEP 1:
Draw a Blood Sample – First, a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
STEP 2:
Prepare the PRP – Using a centrifuge, platelet rich plasma (or PRP) is isolated from the blood sample, all within about 15 minutes in the office. The platelets are then “activated” to release at least eight growth factors that would normally be used to heal injured tissue.
STEP 3:
Inject the PRP – After numbing cream is applied to the vaginal area, the doctor uses a small needle anesthetize the nerves leading to the clitoris. Then, a small needle is used to carefully and gently place precise amounts of PRP in the structures responsible for the female orgasm and pleasure. Patients report that they feel no pain during the O-Shot® in Wheeling, WV!
STEP 4:
Vaginal Tissues are Regenerated – The healing and growth factors cause new cell growth and vascularization to occur over several months. Tissues become more supple, sensitive and elastic. They thicken and produce more lubrication when stimulated.
STEP 5:
Results – 60% of women improve after the first O-Shot® and approximately 85% are thrilled after their second O-Shot® in Wheeling, WV.

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. This substance, derived from your own blood, consists of platelets and growth factors, which support wound repair and improve tissue function.
By concentrating these platelets and growth factors and injecting them into your vaginal tissue, we stimulate healthy tissue growth. The goal is to create a more youthful cellular environment in and around your vagina. This will help promote natural lubrication, increase sensitivity, and reduce dryness and discomfort.
Urinary Incontinence
It is extremely common for women to experience urinary incontinence after experiencing child birth. It is even more common when a woman loses internal vaginal wall collagen support as they age. While some women have extreme symptoms requiring surgery, medications or other treatments , many more women have mild to moderate symptoms. These mild to moderate symptoms can be treated with the O-Shot® in Wheeling.
Sexual Satisfaction
Approximately 43% of women have difficulty achieving and orgasm. Another study found almost 89% of women fake an orgasm. That shouldn’t be you. With the O-Shot® in Wheeling, you can use the power of platelet-rich plasma to safely and naturally make your genitalia more sensitive to the touch and improve your sexual satisfaction and change the “Oh no, into OMG!”.
Vaginal Dryness
Vaginal dryness is present when the tissues of the vagina are no longer well-lubricated. This can be related to the hormonal shifts associated with menopause and peri-menopause, or can be something women notice after childbirth. When these symptoms are caused by a decreased amount of estrogen in a woman’s body, this problem is called atrophic vaginitis. Not only does the vaginal tissue feel dry, but it also looses its elasticity, thus resulting in painful intercourse. The O-Shot® increases your natural vaginal lubrication.
Before starting any of our sexual health treatments, you first meet with one of our nurse practitioners for a private consultation. During this conversation, you discuss your concerns and goals for treatment. Your NP will listen closely without any kind of judgment—we’re people, too, we get it. If included in your care plan, we’ll get you scheduled for an O-Shot® in Wheeling.
Once you’re ready to come in for an appointment, we first lead you back to a private treatment room. We draw a vial of your blood and place it in a centrifuge, which spins it rapidly to separate out the PRP.
Next, we have you undress from the waist down. We apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area to minimize any discomfort from the injections. Then we inject the PRP in several places, including the clitoris and upper vagina.
Afterward, you get dressed again, discuss any necessary aftercare instructions with the nurse practitioner, and then you can jump right back into your day!
During an O-Shot® treatment, we will administer several injections to your vaginal structures. To ensure your comfort, we will first apply a topical numbing cream.
You may feel a small pinch and momentary discomfort as we administer the injection, but most clients find this sensation to be short and completely tolerable.
When you come to ThrIVe for an O-Shot® in Wheeling, you’ll work with one of our nurse practitioners and medical team. These team members have years of education and experience in client care, so you can trust that your care is in professional hands.
It varies from person to person. Some clients may notice some improvements in their sexual response and bladder control within a few days—the full results will develop over several months.
The growth factors in the PRP cause new cell growth and vascularization. As these processes occur, you can expect a cumulative improvement in your sexual wellness.
For most people, the results of their O-Shots® last many months up to several years. On average, you can expect your results to last between 12 and 18 months.
