PRP therapy, known in aesthetic medicine as “vampire facelift,” is increasingly being used in the genital area. This involves injecting the body's own blood plasma into the vulva or vagina to stimulate tissue and alleviate discomfort. But how effective is this method really, and what should you be aware of?


What is PRP therapy in the genital area?


In PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, a small amount of blood is taken from the body and processed in a centrifuge. The platelet-rich plasma obtained in this process contains growth factors that are intended to stimulate regenerative processes in the tissue. In the genital area, PRP is injected into the clitoral region or the area of the anterior vaginal wall, often with the aim of strengthening the mucous membrane, promoting blood circulation, or improving sexual sensitivity.


What are the benefits of PRP treatment in the genital area?


Some users report positive effects on lubrication, sensitivity, and even sexual pleasure.


PRP treatment is said to:

  • improve local blood circulation,

  • support the regeneration of the mucous membrane,

  • promote greater elasticity in the tissue,

  • and provide relief for complaints such as pain during sexual intercourse (e.g., due to dryness).


Despite these reports, the clinical evidence is still limited. PRP therapy in the genital area is not a recognized standard procedure and is currently considered experimental.


How safe is the so-called orgasm shot?

Since the plasma used is obtained from the patient's own blood, the risk of allergic reactions is low. Nevertheless, it is an invasive procedure with classic side effects such as pain at the injection site, small bruises, or temporary swelling. It is crucial for safety that the treatment is performed by medical professionals with gynecological experience.


What should you bear in mind after the procedure?

PRP therapy in the genital area is an outpatient procedure that is usually performed without anesthesia.


After the treatment, it is recommended to:

  • refrain from penetrative sexual intercourse and tampons for 3 to 7 days,

  • refrain from bathing or visiting the swimming pool,

  • and observe the intimate area closely to detect any possible irritation at an early stage.


How much does PRP treatment in the intimate area cost?

In Switzerland, the cost of PRP therapy in the intimate area is usually around 1,000 Swiss francs, depending on the provider. As this is an aesthetic-functional procedure, the costs are not usually covered by health insurance.


Conclusion: PRP – more than just a trend?

PRP therapy in the genital area raises high expectations, from regenerated tissue to increased sexual sensitivity. Even though the method is not new in medical terms, there is currently still a lack of sound scientific evidence regarding its effectiveness in the genital area.


Anyone interested in such treatment should be well informed, visit a qualified gynecological practice, and have realistic expectations.
