How soon can I start Votiva after the O-shot? (Photo)

I’m glad you’re exploring these options, and I think it’s important to clarify a few things to help you get the best results.

First, Votiva is not a strong internal vaginal tightening device. In my experience, it provides only mild improvement at best and is not reliable for meaningful internal tightening, especially when it comes to improving discomfort with sex. If your main concern is functional tightening or improving pain during intercourse, we may want to explore more effective treatment options, including surgical or combination therapies.

That said, Votiva can offer cosmetic benefits externally, including minor skin tightening of the labia and clitoral hood area.

Now regarding the O-Shot®, I actually recommend doing the O-Shot immediately after your first Votiva session. This combination allows the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to penetrate deeper into the tissue, enhancing the regenerative effects and improving blood flow, sensitivity, and lubrication. It’s a protocol I use often with excellent results.

If you’ve already scheduled the O-Shot separately, I’d recommend doing the first Votiva session right before it, then spacing the next two Votiva sessions out every 4 weeks. There’s no downside to combining them, and the PRP won’t be affected by Votiva’s radiofrequency or heat as long as the sequence is properly timed.

Thank you for asking the question of doing Votiva for vagina tightening and clitoral hood tightening at the same time as O Shot.

There is no study that has been done if the heat of Votiva will affect the PRP which is used for O-shot, As a result, I would suggest you do your O-shot one week after a Votiva treatment, not before.

Also looking at the picture, you have provided, you do have sagging vulva skin, as a physician who has used Votiva, you will not be able to fix this sagging skin with Votiva, I would suggest looking into Radiofrequency with micro-needling such as Morpheous 8, or Morpheous 8V which also can give you a better vaginal tightness.

As far as painful sex you need to have a detailed GYN exam to find the reason for it.

Good luck and best of health

There is no need to separate the treatments. On the same day as your O-Shot you can have a Votiva treatment.
If you are wanting a cosmetic improvement of your large hood I would recommend clitoral hood reduction rather than the temporary results from Votiva.
You're in your early 30s and having painful sex. Be sure to have a proper evaluation to determine the cause since Votiva isn't necessarily the answer.
Best of luck,

The O-Shot involves injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the clitoral and vaginal areas to improve sensation, increase lubrication, and address sexual dysfunction. It promotes tissue rejuvenation and healing through growth factors in your own blood.

Votiva, on the other hand, uses radiofrequency energy to tighten vaginal and external tissues. This treatment stimulates collagen production and improves elasticity, benefiting internal tightening and external cosmetic concerns like the clitoral hood.

Can You Combine the O-Shot and Votiva?

The O-Shot and Votiva can complement each other, but it’s crucial to space them appropriately to ensure both treatments work optimally. While Votiva’s radiofrequency and microneedling stimulate tissue, the O-Shot relies on PRP’s natural healing properties. Combining them too closely could interfere with the healing and regenerative processes triggered by the O-Shot.

Recommended Timeline

Before the O-Shot:

It is generally safe to have one Votiva treatment before your scheduled O-Shot. This allows your tissues to begin the tightening process without interfering with the PRP’s regenerative effects.

After the O-Shot:

Allow at least 2-4 weeks after the O-Shot before resuming Votiva treatments. This gives the PRP time to integrate into the tissues and begin its rejuvenation process without potential disruption from Votiva’s radiofrequency energy.

Why Wait Between Treatments?

The O-Shot’s PRP requires time to initiate collagen production and tissue healing. Votiva’s heat and microneedling could temporarily inflame or disrupt the treated area if performed too soon, potentially diminishing the O-Shot’s benefits. By spacing treatments, you optimize both procedures’ results.

Creating Your Treatment Plan

If you’re looking to combine these treatments, here’s a suggested approach:

Week 1: First Votiva session.

Week 3-4: O-Shot treatment.

Week 6-8: Second Votiva session.

Week 10-12: Final Votiva session.

This schedule allows your body to respond fully to each treatment without overlapping healing or regenerative processes.

Addressing Concerns About Pain and Heat

It’s natural to feel nervous about combining these procedures, but rest assured, they are both safe when performed by an experienced provider. Your practitioner can adjust Votiva’s settings to ensure comfort and safety, especially around sensitive areas treated with the O-Shot.

Final Thoughts

Always communicate openly with your provider about your treatment goals and concerns. A personalized approach ensures your comfort and maximizes the benefits of both the O-Shot and Votiva. With proper planning, these treatments can work synergistically to improve your sexual health and confidence.
