Can O-shot be used for labiaplasty scarring?

Hello there,
Thank you for your question. It would be difficult to answer this question accurately without seeing the tissue that is bothering you. PRP can help scars to heal and help break down tough scar tissue, but if you have rippling or extra tissue that could be removed, an RF needle may help with this.I suggest seeing your surgeon for an examination and further guidance.
Hope that helps!

Yes, PRP (O-Shot) can sometimes be used for labiaplasty scars, but it really depends on the type of scar. It’s not guaranteed to make a larger or thicker scar completely smooth. The benefit will vary depending on the size and quality of the scar.
PRP is most helpful in the acute healing phase, where it can support healing and improve the overall outcome. Once healing is already complete, PRP may not make as much difference if there are bumps or raised areas. In those cases, a scar revision may be needed first, and then PRP injections can be added afterward to help with the healing process and tissue quality. Thank you and I hope this helps!

Hi there! I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector here at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. The O-shot is a great treatment for promoting healing but a proper assessment would be needed to evaluate the treatment area to ensure it is an effective option for you.

I think you are referring mostly to the use of PRP in your vaginal area to help with scarring. An O shot is two targeted shots, 1 in your clitoris and the other in your anterior wall of your vagina. The area you are talking about sounds more like your introitus ( the opening of your vagina). I am interested to know how long it has been since you had the labiaplasty and if you can feel a scratchy feeling when you palpate the area with your finger? You should not have any scratchy scars, if it was fairly recent I wonder if you don’t have some suture that has not dissolved sticking out, creating that scratchy feeling for your partner. If yes, then that is an easy fix, your surgeon can just pluck those undissolved suture out. If it is in fact your scar, then PRP can certainly help with scarring. Any practitioner who does the O shot should be able to use PRP to inject directly into the scar, just make sure you tell them what you really want. If they simply give you an O shot it will not likely be in the right area of your scarring. Good luck, I hope this has helped you.

Yes, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) can be a very effective tool for improving the healing, texture, and sensitivity of scar tissue—especially in delicate areas like the labia and vaginal opening.

In your case, using PRP around labia or perineal scar tissue can help:

Soften and remodel the scar, making it smoother to the touch

Improve tissue pliability and hydration

Stimulate collagen and blood flow, which can reduce irritation or that “scratching” sensation during intimacy

We’ve had great success incorporating PRP into post-labiaplasty recovery and even years later in cases where patients are experiencing discomfort or aesthetic concerns from old scars.

In some cases, we also combine PRP with topical peptides or fractional laser therapy to enhance results and promote optimal tissue regeneration.

I’d be happy to take a closer look and let you know if PRP—or a combination approach—would be right for you.

Warmly,

Yes, the O-Shot can help improve labiaplasty scarring. By injecting PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) into the scarred area, the treatment stimulates tissue regeneration, boosts collagen production, and enhances skin.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is the active material used in giving the "O-Shot," which refers ONLY to injecting PRP around Graffenberg's area (the "G-Spot" or more properly "G-Area") to bulk it up to improve friction against the G- area, which containd both nerve receptors from the autonomic nervous system and the "root" of the clitoris. PRP has been used experimentally to help with scar tension, but there are no evidence-based studies confirming its efficacy. It should cause no harm ("Primum non nocere!") and may help. Unfortunately, many physicians use it "off-label" willy-nilly for just about everything and charge a bundle. Bottom line: be properly evaluated. It shouldn't harm you, and may help.

Absolutely. PRP can help with healing of scars anywhere. I have used it for vaginal scarring even in severe cases of lichen sclerosus, keloids, burns, stretch marks, etc. Most importantly, it can cause you no harm but seek a licensed and certified provider as cellular medicine is a relatively new field.

We have used the O-Shot for trauma to the labia for pain in our clinic with very good results a month after getting the procedure done.

I don't think it will help with what you are looking for. Contact your surgeon and get his recommendations for post-op scarring.
