FAQ (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)
Why is this study being done?
There are many studies in the medical literature which examine the function of orgasm for men and women, and document that women have fewer orgasms than men.
This has been termed “The Orgasm Gap”. For over a decade there have been studies which examine the role of low intensity shockwave and platelet rich plasma for the purpose of treating erectile dysfunction in men, or for enhancing male erectile function.
There are also many medications which can be used by men to improve erectile function. The same is not true for women. There is no effective “female viagra”, for example.
There are studies of the use of platelet rich plasma injection for female sexual wellness. Results have varied, in part due to lack of standardization or documentation of the platelet dose delivered.
Our study will be measuring the platelet dose delivered in order to better evaluate any proposed benefit. There are no published studies (to our knowledge) of the use of low intensity shockwave therapy to enhance the female sexual experience.
There is one recent study evaluating its use for the treatment of vulvodynia. We believe it is time for equal research attention to be paid to female sexual wellness treatment options.
Have these procedures been performed before?
Yes, as above, these procedures have been performed on women.

Who will see my responses to questionnaires? How is my privacy protected?
Once enrolled you will be assigned a patient number. Your appointments will be booked under that number and your surveys will be identified by patient number as well.
Our statistician is a woman who lives in the Northwest. She will not have access to names of patients.
What are the potential complications from this/these procedure(s)?
Based on our prior experience, as well as available published studies on the use of these devices, we do not expect any significant complications.
With regard to the shockwave treatment, there was a recent study published utilizing this device in the treatment of women with vulvar pain.
The subjects experienced improvement in their pain condition, and there were no complications noted.
You will be given consent forms which outline possible “side effects” of treatment, based on which procedure(s) you elect to have done.
With regard to the PRP injection, we perform this procedure numerous times per month over the past 7 years and have not had anyone with any significant reactions or complications.
There have been prior medical studies conducted which have not shown there to be any significant complications from this PRP procedure which is sometimes referred to as “The O-Shot”.
What if I withdraw from the study?
If you are enrolling in this study, we ask that you be quite certain that you are able to participate until completion of your treatment.
Should you elect to withdraw for any reason we will ask that you let us know the reason for withdrawal so that we can communicate this to our statistician.
There will be no refunds or credits issued for undelivered services
How long will the study take?
There are 6 procedure visits, scheduled about 7 to 10 days apart.
The first visit may be up to 90 minutes. Subsequent visits will likely be under 40 minutes.
Surveys completed outside of the MediSpa will be at 3 months, 6 months, and possible 12 months post final procedure and should take no more than 30 minutes each time
Will I be informed of the study results
You will be notified when the study has been published.

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR INTIMATE WELLNESS WITH FEMIWAVE®
Childbirth, age related changes and menopause can take a toll on women's intimate wellness.
At Renew MediSpa we believe that female sexual health is an important part of a woman's well-being.
FemiWave® is a revolutionary treatment with many clinical benefits including restoration of sensation and lubrication, improvement in orgasm, reduction in vaginal pain, and improvement in female urinary incontinence.
It also treats the external skin, boosting blood flow and collagen content for a smoother, more supple appearance.
Pain-free, no numbing required, and no post procedure restrictions are highlights of this remarkable procedure designed to restore lost function to feminine tissues.
FemiWave® has additional benefits of enhancing arousal, and in clinical studies it also reduced pain in women suffering from vulvodynia- a chronic pain condition involving the opening of the vagina.
A recent clinical study also showed benefit for women with overactive bladder when FemiWave® was used on the lower abdomen!

What Are The Potential Benefits Of FemiWave®?
Increased Vaginal lubrication
Reduced vaginal pain due to dryness, scar tissue (such as from episiotomy repair/childbirth) or vulvodynia- a chronic vaginal pain condition that is otherwise difficult to treat
Improved vaginal sensitivity
Increased muscle control to help prevent urinary incontinence
Tighter vaginal opening
Greater sexual satisfaction
Enhanced ability to orgasm- shorter arousal time and heightened sensation
Improved blood flow and collagen content of the external skin, enhancing physical appearance
Should I Get The O-shot Too?
Femiwave can be combined with any other women’s wellness procedures.
The O-shot is a safe, drug-free, and non-surgical treatment which also improves female sexual health. Using isolated growth factors found naturally in your own platelets, the O-shot increases blood flow to the vagina and clitoris and stimulates biological production of collagen and elastin to heighten genital sensitivity, improve lubrication, and reduce or eliminate urinary incontinence.
In general, we will likely recommend combination therapy for women whose symptoms are more advanced in severity. Although the O-shot does require a blood draw and a few injections, we are experts at making this procedure as free from discomfort as possible!
