What is PRP Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that channels the natural healing properties of the body. As the name suggests, it is a mixture of platelets and plasma derived from the patient’s blood. PRP is rich with growth factors and other healing contents that help regenerate dead or dormant cells.

How does PRP work?

PRP is a remarkable treatment that significantly improves the healing process of the body. The platelet-rich plasma solution is injected into the desired area, where it begins the regeneration process. The platelets contain useful growth factors, proteins, mediators, and other essential contents. They combine with the plasma begin the healing and regeneration process at the injection site.

In aesthetic gynecology, PRP injections are administered in the tissues around the clitoris, urethra, or G-Spot. Once injected into these target areas, PRP starts regenerating healthy and elastic vaginal tissues. As a result, the patient experiences an increase in vaginal lubrication, blood flow, and nerve sensitivity.

1. Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is one of the most embarrassing problems women face while aging. While severe SUI can be treated with surgery, a mild or moderate form of SUI cannot benefit from surgery. So, PRP injections can help effectively treat mild or moderate SUI. Moreover, it helps avoid post-op complications and downtime.

2. Sexual Dysfunction

PRP injections are also common for treating sexual dysfunction. They are usually used in O-Shots and vaginal rejuvenation.
