I love working in medicine because so many exciting findings are improving the quality of life for us as we age. Anymore, we don’t HAVE to get stiff and creaky. PRP injections and a good diet and exercise keep us on the tennis court and hiking trail.
We don’t HAVE to lose our cognitive abilities to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease as long as we participate in challenging and stimulating hobbies and (again) follow a healthy diet and exercise plan. We don’t even HAVE to lose our sex drive after menopause. What was that? Did I just hear a big “Whoop! Whoop!” from the internet?
Rediscover Your Inner Sex Kitten with The O-Shot and Femilift
In our late 40s and especially after menopause, our vaginal tissues and the clitoris can change. Often, our intimate area becomes less sensitive, a grave disappointment to those of us who find solace, excitement, connection, and stress relief via sex.
The good news is that the same platelet-rich plasma (PRP) that’s been proven to rejuvenate knees, shoulders, elbows, and hands can also rejuvenate clitoral and vaginal tissues so that orgasms are easier and quicker to achieve.
PRP delivered directly to a woman’s intimate area has been termed the “O-Shot.” Keep reading to see why 81% of RealSelf reviewers give the O-Shot the “Worth It” rating (calculated with only “Worth It” and “Not Worth It” options.)
And then there’s Femilift, a C02 laser that sends laser energy to the vaginal tissues to tighten through collagen production and remodeling. It also strengthens the ligaments surrounding the bladder and urethra, providing incontinence support. RealSelf reviewers have chimed in on this procedure as well, giving Femilift an 83% “Worth It” rating.
Curious? We thought so.

Which is Better for YOU? The O-Shot or Femilift?
The answer depends on your goals.
The O-Shot gives itself away immediately: yes “O” is for “orgasm.” After receiving the O-Shot patients report that their orgasms have been easier to achieve, quicker, and more frequent. That news always puts a smile on my face. After all, orgasm has all kinds of physiological and emotional benefits, and any doctor wants those for her patients.
The O-Shot involves only a vial or two of your own blood centrifuged to concentrate its platelets or plasma. These platelets contain proteins (healing growth factors) that stimulate not only cell growth, but better blood supply (vascularization), more nerve development, and tissue repair. This blood plasma is the yellow fluid that pharmaceutical companies buy to create their own powerful drugs. For more details on how PRP works, please read about the success that athletes and workout warriors have with PRP rejuvenation for joints here.
Using your own platelets in this “autologous” (self-derived) procedure means you have no risk of allergic or other reactions. Because the O-Shot is not a drug, it does not require FDA approval.
Our post-menopausal patients who have noticed a decrease in sensation in their intimate areas have been pleased with the results of the O-Shot. Yay!
Femilift – the Vaginal Remodel for Your Cougar Years
Targeted to the vagina, the FDA-approved Femilift procedure provides quick benefits to women who report pain and dryness during intercourse.
The Femilift laser treatments use an Alma CO2 laser with a rotating probe inserted into the vagina. Warm waves rejuvenate the vaginal mucosa, tightening the vaginal wall and improving lubrication.
Some of our mom patients who’ve gone through natural childbirth and have lost tone and sensation experience a sexual rebirth after Femilift procedures.
Other patients struggling with urinary incontinence find that their leak incidents decline after Femilift. Its proven power to strengthen the ligaments around the bladder and urethra rejuvenate the urinary tract. Those who give Femilift a try tell us they now laugh and sneeze without concern!
Quick Questions Answered:
Is there pain involved in either the O-Shot or Femilift?
For the O-Shot, because we numb the area with an anesthetic prior to the treatment, discomfort is rare and minimal. For Femilift, you will feel only a slight warming sensation. There is little to no discomfort involved.
What’s the downtime for each procedure?
After your O-Shot, you can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment. For Femilift, you should avoid vigorous exercise and sexual intercourse for 72 hours after treatment.
When will I see results?
With the O-Shot, you should see results between 3 weeks to 3 months after treatment. For Femilift, the results vary. Some patients notice more vaginal sensation and strength right away. For others, changes take weeks to kick in. Because the body has to ramp up collagen production and contract the vaginal tissues, typically, results manifest in a month .
