About PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Many individuals seek platelet-rich plasma because they wish to address concerns such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and dissatisfaction with their sexual performance after aging and medical conditions have impacted their sexual health. PRP therapy encourages tissue regeneration and has been shown to support improved sexual function in both men and women.
The human body is capable of significant healing due to the complex components present in our blood. Platelets play a vital role in this process because of their ability to release growth factors that stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. Platelet-rich plasma for sexual wellness harnesses these natural healing powers to improve sexual health through non-surgical treatments.
Clinical trials have indicated that platelet-rich plasma injections may facilitate better blood flow and increase sensitivity in the targeted areas of the body. Whether it is for penile sensitivity in men or clitoril sensitivity and improvement with stress urinary incontinence in women, numerous studies report favorable outcomes following platelet-rich plasma applications.

Preparation
Proper preparation is an important step in your platelet-rich plasma treatment. Because this is a non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment, there are not a lot of crucial preparation steps to complete, but there are still some key guidelines to follow. Patients should ensure they are well-hydrated and consume a nutritious diet in the days leading up to their PRP treatment. You will need to avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen before your treatment. You will also need to stop using alcohol and nicotine (if applicable). You will receive more specific instructions from one of our experienced providers that correspond to your unique needs and medical history. Following these guidelines diligently sets the stage for a successful treatment experience.
Male Enhancement Shot
New Life Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa’s most popular male PRP treatment is the Male Enhancement Shot, which has helped many men reverse their erectile dysfunction and improve their sexual wellness.
Erectile dysfunction is a condition that affects many men around the world. It can cause feelings of embarrassment, low self-esteem, and relationship issues. As a result, many individuals seek effective solutions to restore their sexual health. The primary objective of platelet-rich plasma therapy is to stimulate the natural healing processes of the body and improve vascular health in the penis. (1) Clinical studies on PRP indicate promising patient outcomes, showcasing its potential as a minimally invasive erectile dysfunction treatment that does not necessitate surgery or pharmaceutical interventions.
In addition to amending erectile dysfunction, platelet-rich plasma treatments can help men increase their libido, boost their sperm count, enhance sexual satisfaction, and more.
“O-Shot” For Women
The O-Shot is our PRP treatment offered for women. Many women face sexual issues just as men do. These can be things like low sexual desire, decreased libido, trouble with arousal, low satisfaction, poor vaginal health, and more. Even painful sex can be amended with this treatment. After receiving this treatment, patients report increased libido, more enjoyable sex, and stronger orgasms. (2)
Many of the sexual wellness issues women face can manifest as menopause symptoms. Alongside weight fluctuations, night sweats, hot flashes, and other symptoms, menopause can affect vaginal health greatly. The O-Shot can be an effective treatment for these menopause symptoms, especially when combined with hormone replacement therapies.
Procedure
The platelet-rich plasma harvesting and injection procedure is simple. Patients receive a local anesthetic on their genitalia to minimize discomfort. A small volume of blood is drawn to obtain the needed components for the PRP. We will place the sample in a centrifuge, which separates the platelets from other blood components, concentrating them to create the platelet-rich plasma. Next, we administer the PRP solution into the targeted area using fine needles. The entire process generally takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case and the number of areas treated.
Recovery
Because platelet-rich plasma therapy is minimally invasive, most patients can return to their regular activities shortly after treatment. It is common to experience mild swelling or tenderness at the injection sites, but these symptoms usually resolve within a few days.
Patients are often advised to abstain from sexual activity for a short period to allow for optimal healing and results. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and address any concerns promptly.
Results
Results from platelet-rich plasma therapy often begin to manifest in the weeks following the treatment as tissue repair and regeneration occur. Many patients report improved sexual function, enhanced sensitivity, and increased enjoyment during intimate activities. The duration of these results varies among individuals but can persist for an extended period as the healing effects continue.
Corresponding Treatments
In addition to platelet-rich plasma, New Life Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa also offers platelet-rich fibrin injections. Platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF, expands on PRP technology by incorporating a fibrin matrix into the platelet-rich solution. This matrix allows growth factors to be released slowly while being guided toward their ideal goals by the matrix. This maximizes the healing factor of platelets and allows patients to see impressive results.
PRF can be used to address multiple issues, which include the O-Shot and male enhancement shot. As well, one of its most effective applications is for facial rejuvenation. In these cases, we can use the PRF-derived EZ Gel to replace lost mass below the eyes and create a youthful and energized appearance.
