Modern Solutions, Compassionate Care

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:

The O-Shot® (Orgasm Shot) is a PRP treatment for individuals with vaginas. A small PRP injection is administered near the clitoris and into the upper vagina. This can lead to enhanced arousal, increased natural lubrication, and stronger or more frequent orgasms. Many women find that sex becomes more pleasurable and that issues like mild stress incontinence or vaginal dryness improve after an O-Shot®.
The P-Shot® (Priapus Shot) is the equivalent procedure for individuals with penises. PRP is injected into specific areas of the penis. This can improve erectile function by promoting healthier tissue and better blood flow. Men often report stronger, more sustainable erections, increased sensitivity, and even slight improvements in girth or length (due to improved tissue health) over time.

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:

Improved tightness of the vaginal canal (enhancing sexual pleasure for both the individual and their partner).
Increased natural lubrication and reduced vaginal dryness (many menopausal women find intercourse comfortable again after treatment).
Better urinary control, since strengthening the vaginal walls also provides support to the urethra and bladder (useful for stress urinary incontinence like leaking when you sneeze).
Enhanced sensation and orgasmic response due to healthier, more responsive tissue.

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:

In women, strengthening these muscles can lead to tighter vaginal tone, stronger orgasms, and better control over those muscles during intimacy. It also helps with issues like mild prolapse or urinary incontinence, which often accompany a weak pelvic floor. Many women report improved sensation and confidence after completing the EMSella series.
In men, pelvic floor strength contributes to erectile function and ejaculatory control. EMSella can aid men who experience premature ejaculation or mild erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow and muscular support in the pelvic region. It’s also beneficial for men post-prostate surgery to regain urinary control and sexual function.

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.

Cutting-Edge Hormonal & Medical Therapies

While not “devices,” modern medical therapies are crucial technologies in sexual wellness:

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT): For individuals with hormonal deficiencies (like low testosterone in men, or low estrogen in women), we use BHRT to gently restore levels to a healthy, youthful range. These hormones (chemically identical to what your body produces) can be delivered via creams, pills, patches, or tiny pellets. By optimizing hormones, we often see dramatic improvements in libido, energy, mood, and sexual function. Our doctors monitor your levels closely to ensure safety and effectiveness. This therapy is highly personalized – we only recommend it if tests show it’s needed, and we tailor dosing carefully to you.
Medications & Injections: Dr. Sex stays current with the latest FDA-approved sexual medicine options. For example, we prescribe PDE5 inhibitors (like sildenafil/Viagra® or tadalafil/Cialis®) for men when appropriate, which increase blood flow to help with ED. For women, there are medications like flibanserin (Addyi®) or bremelanotide (Vylessi®) designed to treat low libido – our specialists can determine if these are suitable. We also offer localized injections such as botulinum toxin for vaginismus (to relax overly tight vaginal muscles) or collagenase for Peyronie’s plaques, performed by our trained physicians. These medical technologies are often used in conjunction with our therapies to maximize results.
Advanced Diagnostics: We consider our diagnostic tools part of our tech, too. We have access to specialized tests like penile Doppler ultrasound (to evaluate blood flow in ED cases), nerve conduction studies for genital sensation issues, vaginal pH and microbiome tests for persistent pain or infection issues, and comprehensive hormone panels. By thoroughly understanding the root cause of a problem, we can apply the right solution. Our clinic also utilizes secure telemedicine platforms and AI-enhanced symptom questionnaires as modern tech tools to streamline your care.
Other Innovative Tools

We continuously evaluate new and promising sexual health technologies. Some additional tools and treatments you might encounter at Dr. Sex:

Red Light Therapy Devices: Low-level laser or infrared light applied to genital tissues (or even full-body pods) can increase circulation and reduce inflammation. This can complement other treatments for improved arousal and healing.
Vibratory Stimulation Devices: For conditions like anorgasmia or recovery from prostate surgery, we might use medical-grade vibrators or devices that provide consistent stimulation to “train” the nerves and response. (We’ll always discuss this openly and make sure you’re comfortable – any use of such devices is done with respect and often as a take-home exercise rather than in-clinic.
Vacuum Erection Device (VED): A tried-and-true device for men with ED, which uses a manual or battery pump to draw blood into the penis. We provide high-quality VEDs and training on how to use them effectively as part of some treatment plans, especially for penile rehabilitation after surgery or if you prefer a drug-free approach.
Sensory Feedback Tools: Our therapists sometimes use tools like biofeedback machines during therapy – for example, attaching a sensor that measures pelvic floor muscle clench strength, so you can actually see on a screen how you’re contracting and learn to improve it (great for learning Kegels properly or addressing pelvic pain).

Rest assured: All technologies we use are evidence-based and cleared by relevant health authorities. Your safety and comfort guide our decisions. We’ll explain each recommended treatment to you in detail – how it works, what it feels like, and what results to expect – so you can make informed choices.

Technology in the realm of sexual wellness has advanced incredibly in recent years, offering new hope even for issues that once had limited options. At Dr. Sex, we are proud to be at the forefront of this field. By combining these cutting-edge tools with our compassionate care, we’re able to deliver measurable improvements that truly enhance our patients’ lives.
