Regenerative
Sexual Wellness for Women & Men
Sexual wellness is an important part of overall health, confidence, and quality of life. Changes related to aging, hormones, childbirth, menopause, circulation, and other factors can affect sexual function for both women and men.
At Begin Anew, we offer the O-Shot for women and P-Shot for men, regenerative treatments that use platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood.
PRP contains concentrated platelets and naturally occurring growth factors that are being studied for their role in tissue repair, vascular function, and regenerative processes.
Because the PRP comes from your own blood, treatment is autologous and does not introduce synthetic filler or medication into the treated tissue.
O-Shot for Women
Restore. Reconnect. Feel Like Yourself Again.
Changes in sexual wellness can happen at any age, but they are especially common following childbirth and during perimenopause and menopause. Hormonal changes, changes in vaginal tissue, dryness, decreased sensitivity, and pelvic-floor changes may all contribute.
The O-Shot uses PRP prepared from a small sample of your own blood and carefully injected into targeted areas of intimate tissue.
The goal is to support the body’s natural regenerative processes in areas involved in sexual sensation and function.
Women may consider the O-Shot for concerns including:
- Decreased sexual sensitivity
- Difficulty achieving orgasm
- Changes in orgasm intensity
- Vaginal dryness or changes in intimate comfort
- Age- or hormone-related changes in sexual function
- Changes following childbirth
- Mild urinary leakage or stress urinary incontinence
What Does PRP Do?
Platelets contain biologically active growth factors and signaling proteins involved in processes such as tissue repair and blood-vessel formation.
When concentrated PRP is introduced into targeted tissue, the goal is to stimulate a localized healing and regenerative response.
Early clinical research involving PRP for female sexual dysfunction has reported improvements in measures of sexual function and vaginal health. Research has also explored PRP for stress urinary incontinence. However, studies remain relatively small, and additional high-quality clinical research is needed to determine its effectiveness and ideal treatment protocols.
What to Expect
Your blood is drawn just as it would be during routine laboratory testing. It is then processed to concentrate the platelet-rich plasma.
A topical or local anesthetic may be used for comfort before PRP is administered to targeted areas.
Treatment is typically completed during an office visit with little downtime. Temporary tenderness, swelling, spotting, bruising, or sensitivity at the injection sites can occur.
Your Begin Anew provider will give you specific aftercare instructions and let you know when sexual activity, exercise, and other activities may be resumed.
When Will I Notice Results?
Response varies from person to person. Because PRP treatments rely on the body’s own biological response rather than creating an immediate mechanical change, any improvement may develop gradually.
Some patients choose additional treatments depending upon their goals and response to the initial procedure.
P-Shot for Men
A Regenerative Approach to Men’s Sexual Wellness
Sexual performance can change with age, circulation, hormones, stress, medications, and overall health.
The P-Shot is a PRP-based treatment designed for men interested in a regenerative approach to sexual wellness and erectile function.
A small amount of your blood is collected and processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma. The concentrated PRP is then injected into targeted penile tissue.
Men may consider the P-Shot for concerns including:
- Changes in erectile function
- Difficulty maintaining firmness
- Decreased sexual performance
- Changes in sensitivity
- Age-related changes in sexual function
- Interest in supporting penile tissue and vascular health
How Does the P-Shot Work?
PRP contains concentrated platelets and growth factors involved in tissue repair, cell signaling, and angiogenesis—the formation of new blood vessels.
Researchers have investigated whether these properties may support vascular and tissue function in men experiencing erectile dysfunction.
Clinical research has produced mixed but evolving results. Some studies and earlier meta-analyses have reported improvements in erectile-function scores following PRP treatment, while more recent analyses of randomized controlled trials have found that PRP has not consistently demonstrated a clinically meaningful advantage over placebo. Additional high-quality research is needed to determine which patients are most likely to benefit and establish standardized treatment protocols.
What to Expect
The P-Shot begins with a simple blood draw. Your blood is processed to create concentrated PRP, and a local or topical anesthetic may be used before the injections are performed.
The procedure is performed in the office and generally requires minimal downtime.
Temporary tenderness, swelling, bruising, or sensitivity may occur following treatment. Your provider will review your individualized aftercare instructions before you leave.
When Will I Notice Results?
Response varies from person to person. Because PRP treatments rely on the body’s own biological response rather than creating an immediate mechanical change, any improvement may develop gradually.
Some patients choose additional treatments depending upon their goals and response to the initial procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
You will likely notice an instant and initial increase in volume due to the combination of the platelets and the serum (or water) in the blood, plus all the growth factors in the water that the activated platelets are starting to release. Over the next three days, the body absorbs some of the water. Then there is the growth of new tissue that continues for at least 12 weeks, bringing the volume back up to close to where it was with the initial injection. In some people this decrease in volume is very small, in others, it is a more noticeable decrease. As with any procedure, results will vary from patient to patient. Smokers have the least amount of growth.
You can expect a 10 to 20% increase in length and girth. An inch in length (a little more) and in girth was seen in patients in the first month. Girth came first (with the injection), then length (with continued growth).
The P-Shot injection goes directly into the corpus cavernosum with a small needle and into the head of the penis–in a way almost exactly as done with those who use injections for erectile dysfunction.
Men who have been injecting their penis before sexual activity to prevent ED may inject 3 to 5 times a week over many years. In these cases there is about a 10% incidence of scar tissue formation. With the P-Shot procedure, there is only one injection, so the chances of scar tissue occurring is little to none.
We use a strong lidocaine numbing cream to numb the areas before treatment. Most patients find the procedure to be comfortable and tolerable, and the results far outweigh any discomfort.
Sexual Wellness Is Personal. Your Treatment Should Be Too.
Sexual health concerns are extremely common, but many women and men hesitate to discuss them.
At Begin Anew, our goal is to make these conversations comfortable, private, and medically focused.
Your consultation gives us an opportunity to discuss your symptoms, medical history, medications, hormones, lifestyle, and sexual-wellness goals. Because changes in sexual function can have many causes, PRP treatment may not be appropriate for everyone.
When appropriate, we can also discuss how sexual wellness fits into your broader hormone and wellness plan.

Individual results vary. PRP-based sexual wellness treatments are considered investigational for many sexual-health indications and are not FDA-approved specifically to treat female sexual dysfunction, urinary incontinence, or erectile dysfunction.
