Technologies
Modern solutions meet compassionate care. At Dr. Sex, we utilize a variety of state-of-the-art technologies and medical treatments to help you achieve your sexual wellness goals. We carefully select each technology based on safety, effectiveness, and scientific evidence. Below, we highlight some of the key innovative treatments and devices available at our clinics, along with how they work and what benefits they offer. Our medical team will determine which technologies are best suited for your needs during your consultation.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy – O-Shot® & P-Shot®
What it is: PRP therapy uses the healing power of your own blood to rejuvenate tissues. We draw a small sample of your blood, concentrate the platelets (which are rich in growth factors), and then gently inject this solution into targeted areas to stimulate cellular repair and growth.
How we use it for sexual wellness:
Why it’s great: PRP therapy is natural and safe – we’re using your body’s own cells, so there’s no risk of allergic reaction. The procedure is quick (about an hour including preparation) and done with local numbing for minimal discomfort. There’s no downtime; you can return to normal activities the same day. Results develop over several weeks as the tissues rejuvenate. PRP is an excellent option for those looking to boost their sexual function without medications or surgery.
Low-Intensity Shockwave Therapy (LI-SWT)
What it is: A non-invasive treatment originally used in cardiology and orthopedics, now adapted for sexual health. It involves delivering gentle acoustic sound waves to the targeted area using a handheld device. In sexual wellness, it’s primarily used for treating erectile dysfunction and some female arousal disorders.
How it works: The shockwaves (don’t worry, it’s painless – more of a tapping sensation) stimulate the process of angiogenesis, which means new blood vessel formation. They also promote increased blood flow and trigger repair mechanisms in the tissue. When applied to the penis (for ED) or to the clitoral/vaginal area (for arousal issues), these effects can significantly improve blood circulation and nerve sensitivity in those tissues.
Benefits: Shockwave therapy addresses one of the root causes of sexual dysfunction: inadequate blood flow. By physically improving the vascular network, it can lead to firmer, more reliable erections in men and heightened sensitivity in women. The procedure is short (20-30 minutes), requires no anesthesia, and has no downtime. A typical course might be 6-12 sessions, usually once or twice a week. Many clients start noticing improvements after a few weeks, with continued gains over the following months. Another plus: it’s drug-free and has virtually no side effects apart from maybe a little temporary soreness or tingling. We often use LI-SWT (branded by some as GainsWave® for men) as a first-line, restorative therapy for ED before considering medications.
Laser and Radiofrequency (RF) Rejuvenation
Laser and Radiofrequency (RF) Rejuvenation
What it is: Advanced energy-based therapies that apply controlled heat to tissues. In sexual wellness, certain lasers (like CO2 or erbium lasers) and radiofrequency devices are designed specifically for vaginal rejuvenation and tightening, as well as improving urinary control and lubrication. We have fractional CO2 lasers (often used in procedures like MonaLisa Touch® or Femilift™) and RF devices (like ThermiVa®) in our arsenal.
How it works: The device (a slender probe for internal vaginal treatment, or a small handheld for external use) emits energy into the vaginal walls or vulvar tissue. This gentle heat stimulates collagen and elastin production – the proteins that keep tissues firm and elastic. It also promotes increased blood flow and improved moisture. Essentially, it helps “reverse” some of the natural aging or hormonal changes in the vaginal tissue by encouraging regeneration.
What to expect: These treatments are done in-clinic and are non-surgical. For vaginal procedures, no incisions or needles are involved – the probe is inserted much like a tampon and rotated to apply energy evenly. They are generally not painful; clients describe a sensation of warmth and sometimes a mild vibration. We can apply a numbing cream if needed, but most women tolerate it well without. A session takes about 30 minutes. There’s usually no downtime – you might be advised to refrain from intercourse for a couple of days to let the tissue start its healing process, but otherwise you can resume normal activity immediately.
Benefits: Laser/RF rejuvenation can lead to:
Typically a series of 2-3 treatments spaced a few weeks apart yields the best results, with maintenance sessions perhaps once a year or as recommended by our physician. These technologies offer a wonderful option for women who prefer not to take systemic medications and want a quick, virtually painless solution for intimate wellness.
EMSella® Chair – Pelvic Floor Strengthening
What it is: The EMSella is a revolutionary, chair-like device that uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate and strengthen the entire pelvic floor musculature. It’s like doing thousands of perfect Kegel exercises in a single session, without any effort on your part!
How it works: You remain fully clothed and simply sit comfortably on the EMSella chair. When the treatment starts, the device emits electromagnetic waves that cause your pelvic floor muscles to contract and relax at a very high frequency. You’ll feel a series of tingling vibrations and muscle contractions in your pelvic area. It’s not painful – some describe it as a strange but not unpleasant sensation of your pelvic muscles engaging on their own. Each session lasts about 28 minutes, during which EMSella induces the equivalent of 11,000+ Kegel contractions.
Uses in sexual wellness: A strong pelvic floor is a foundation of sexual health:
Benefits: EMSella is completely non-invasive – no need to undress, no probes, no downtime. You can literally do a session on a lunch break (some patients even choose to read a book or use their phone while on the chair!). A typical treatment protocol is 2 sessions per week for 3 weeks (a total of 6 sessions). After that, maintenance sessions can be done every so often as needed. Many clients notice improvement in bladder control or pelvic strength within a couple of weeks, and sexual benefits often become apparent by the end of the treatment course or soon after. It’s a fantastic option for anyone who finds traditional Kegel exercises difficult or wants faster results. We often combine EMSella with our other pelvic floor therapies for maximal improvement.
