The Vaginal Rejuvenation, involves the use of a component of our blood, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for rejuvenating the vagina that helps with vaginal dryness, stress incontinence and sexual dysfunction.
Almost all women who have had the injection enjoy an increase in their sexual response; i.e. stronger and more frequent orgasms, decreased pain for those with dyspareunia (painful intercourse), increased lubrication, increased desire and greater arousal sensitivity from stimulation.
The shot uses platelets (which are responsible for tissue rejuvenation) containing patient’s own blood taken from their arm. This is then put in a special centrifuge which produces Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). The vagina and the surrounding area is numbed by application of a local anaesthetic cream / injection before the PRP is injected into specific areas of the vagina.
PRP injected into the vagina, clitoris and G Spot increases sensitivity, renews blood vessels and stimulate collagen production (which increases the vaginal wall’s elasticity, natural lubrication, engorgement, and sensation.
Some individuals will experience improved sexual function within a week but it can take 1 to 3 months to show the full effect.
The shot can possibly help both stress incontinence as well as an overactive bladder.
There is no consensus on this. It may possibly improve the effects by initiating the activation process by the platelets. At Clapham Skin clinic, we routinely add calcium to Platelet Rich Plasma while doing the procedure.
Side effects are unusual but potential side effects include temporary vaginal spotting, sexual hypersensitivity and infection.
