In this episode of Aesthetically Speaking, Paola Chellew chats with Dr Nicole Kanaris to explain the O-Shot®, a trademarked procedure utilising Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to address urinary incontinence, intimate health, and tissue regeneration in women.
Developed by Dr Charles Runels, the O-Shot® entails using PRP injected into the intimate area to enhance blood supply, collagen production, nerve sensation, and muscle tightness.
Dr Kanaris elaborates on the benefits, including improved urinary control, enhanced intimate function, and the ability to help conditions like lichen sclerosis.
The conversation covers the procedure’s safety, candidate suitability, expected results timeline, and emphasises the importance of consulting trained professionals for the treatment.
It’s crucial to emphasise that the procedure should be performed ONLY by a qualified medical doctor with appropriate training. Certified physicians can be found on the oshot.info website, ensuring patients receive safe and reliable care.
Paola Chellew is a freelance journalist and regularly writes for a number of publications. A former professional contemporary dancer, she has always loved the arts in all their forms. She has been a freelance writer for many years and has been published in various magazines including Live Out Loud, Private Life and Do It now magazines. Her passion for beauty and skincare started in her teens, when she would read every beauty editor’s picks and reviews. Serious about skincare, she has researched medical-grade products for over ten years, as well as aesthetic treatments to restore and repair skin to look its best. Having turned 60 last year, she has dedicated her blog to the “over 50s and beyond Club”, shining a spotlight on a generation that is seemingly side-lined by the beauty industry. “There is no age limit for when you stop being beautiful – a gorgeous lipstick, a sexy fragrance, radiant skin- these are not synonymous with youth- they are just things that add an extra sparkle to my day”.
