The O-SHOT is a non-surgical treatment aimed at improving female sexual health, which includes
symptoms like dryness, low libido, and leaking. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and exosomes are two
of the most popular regenerative treatments that are being talked about as far as the O-SHOT is
concerned. Despite the fact that they share the same purpose of healing and rejuvenation, they are
quite different in terms of what they consist of, where they come from and how they work.
PRP: A Natural Healing Process from Your Own Blood
PRP is obtained from the patient’s blood. A small amount of blood is collected and then put in a
centrifuge to separate the platelets from the rest of the blood and the platelets are then re-injected
into the vaginal and clitoral areas. These platelets are then activated to release growth factors which
encourage the formation of collagen, enhance the blood supply and promote the healing of tissues.
PRP has a big advantage in that it is a natural product since it is obtained from the patient, which
means that there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. It has been used for more than ten years
in orthopedics, aesthetics and hair restoration and has a good safety record. Some of the
improvements that may be experienced include increased sensitivity, more intense orgasms, more
moisture, and improved bladder control, which may start to be felt within a few weeks and get better
with time.
Exosomes: A New Level of Regenerative Science
Exosomes, therefore, are small vesicles that are secreted by cells and that are capable of
transmitting proteins, lipids, and genetic material to other cells. When it comes to the O-SHOT, the
exosomes are usually obtained from stem cells that are cultured in the laboratory (mainly
mesenchymal stem cells) and are then processed for therapeutic use.
They are not cells but are packed with growth factors, cytokines and signaling molecules. This
makes exosomes potentially more effective than PRP in terms of cell to cell communication and
regenerative potential. Some practitioners report that O-SHOTs enhanced by exosomes result in
quicker and more effective results in terms of sensitivity, tissue repair, and urinary incontinence.
Which One Is Better?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. PRP is recommended for those who want a natural treatment
with a proven track record of safety. Exosomes may be more appropriate for patients who want to
enhance their regenerative effects or those who have not responded well to PRP alone. Some clinics
use both treatments at the same time for additive benefits.
As with any regenerative treatment, results differ.
