Urogenital PRP injections are a non-surgical, virtually painless and extremely safe procedure to improve and enhance sexual function, sensation and enjoyment by using the body’s own cells to stimulate this process.
Revamp PRP Therapy
Urogenital Revitalisation is a new and promising treatment for vaginal atrophy (thinning of the vaginal tissues), dyspareunia (painful intercourse), loss of libido and urinary incontinence (light bladder leakage).
An ingenious way to improve women's health after childbirth, menopause or breast cancer, the Revamp Procedure improves the quality of a woman’s sexual intercourse, and helps to improve (and sometimes cure) urinary incontinence, without the need for hormonal therapy, laser treatment or surgery.
PRP is injected after local anaesthetic cream has been applied to the target area, so it is not very painful, but only midly uncomfortable.
It can increase blood flow to the clitoris and regenerate the vaginal walls, increasing natural lubrication and sensitivity which improves libido. Revamp PRP can also strengthen the pelvic floor, to improve (and sometimes cure) urinary incontinence without the need for hormonal therapy, laser treatment or surgery.
Revamp PRP is similar to the "O shot".
Articles written about this treatment have been published in the "Tatler", "Cosmopolitan" and "Rebook" magazines.
The Revamp uses PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma therapy) painlessly injected into the wall of the vagina and the surrounding tissues causing restoration of strength and texture to the vagina and vulval tissues. All these areas can sustain damage during childbirth but will also naturally weaken with the lack of oestrogen which occurs after menopause and following treatment for breast cancer.
PRP is prepared from your own blood so it is very safe. This is a natural therapy which has been used in many different medical fields over the past few decades and is now being used successfully to treat gynaecological conditions. A small amount of your blood is centrifuged, the plasma is then extracted and placed under a light to activate the growth factors. Local anaesthetic cream is applied. Once the area is numb PRP is injected.
There is no down time following the treatment. Allow an hour for the visit, but the injection time usually takes less than 10 minutes.
After your treatment there is no need to do anything differently. As soon as you leave the clinic you can go back to work, go to the gym, pick the kids up from school or participate in sports.
You will be pleased to know that there is no need to wait before engaging in intercourse - although you might want to wait until the anaesthetic cream wears off.
We recommend 2 to 3 treatments although some women may find one treatment is enough and others may want more than 3. It depends on the state of the vaginal tissues prior to starting the treatment. Because PRP is safe there is no limit to how many times you can have a Revamp.
PRP treatment and lichen sclerosus
Lichen sclerosus is a chronic condition that causes thin, white patches of skin that look pale or crinkled, usually in the genital (vulvar or anal) area. It can cause pain and discomfort, itching, and easy bruising or tearing of the skin. It often causes permanent scarring. 4% of women with this condition go on to develop vulvar cancer.
Skin affected by lichen sclerosus can also scar and join up with nearby skin. This can change the structure of your vulva – for example, your labia minora may appear flattened, your clitoris can become buried under its hood, and/or the opening of your vagina may shrink. This can sometimes affect your ability to have and/or enjoy sex.
Lichen sclerosus is thought to be related to genetics, immune disorders, trauma, or infection. Traditional treatment is usually topical corticosteroid ointments or creams used to reduce itching and complications, however, there is no documented cure.
"Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a regenerative medicine, may be a treatment option for women with LS, especially for those of reproductive age. Platelets are involved in both hard- and soft-tissue repair. They provide the essential growth factors involved in stem cell migration, differentiation, and proliferation: fibroblast growth factor (FGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), epidermal growth factor (EGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF). The stimulation of fibroblasts and endothelial cells induces new deposition of extracellular matrix and neovascularization. …PRP leads to complete regeneration of the LS lesion, and consequently to improved quality of life."
