Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction
What is Erectile Dysfunction Therapy?
It’s easy to start your journey to a happier and healthier sexual life. Erectile dysfunction therapy is a safe, comfortable treatment for men that can help improve sexual performance.
Erectile dysfunction therapy utilizes painless, high-frequency, low-intensity sound waves to improve blood flow to the penis. The procedure uses a specific protocol designed to optimize efficacy, safety, and results.
Candidates
Ideal candidates for erectile dysfunction (ED) therapy are men who are in good general health but are concerned with ED caused by poor blood flow to the penis.
It’s easy to start your journey to a happier and healthier sexual life.
How It Works
Erectile dysfunction therapy is a comfortable, revolutionary male sexual performance procedure that uses low-intensity sound waves to improve sexual function in men who suffer from erectile dysfunction. The treatment may also be referred to as low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LI-ESWT) or acoustic wave therapy.
The procedure breaks up plaque formation in blood vessels and stimulates the growth of new blood vessels in the penis, improving blood flow and sexual function. In addition, the procedure may activate the growth of new nerve tissue in the penis. This process is called neurogenesis, and it can help enhance sensitivity.
Procedure
Patients should arrive 30 minutes prior to their first appointment for the application of numbing cream. You may apply numbing cream at home before any subsequent sessions. You may feel a slight tingling during your treatment but no discomfort. The device handpiece is placed at the target site, and the sound waves are emitted in low-intensity bursts.
Erectile dysfunction therapy is a pain-free, non-invasive procedure that uses pulsed sound waves to improve blood flow to the penis. The treatment is nonsurgical, and provides long-lasting results. Each treatment session lasts between 20 and 30 minutes. We typically recommend a series of six to 12 sessions to start. The total number of treatments will depend on several factors. Maintenance treatments are recommended.
Recovery
There is no downtime or recovery period needed. You may return to your regular activities immediately after your appointment.
Results
Acoustic wave therapy encourages the growth of new blood vessels, breaks up plaque formations in the existing vessels, and may help activate stem cells and new cell growth. By increasing blood flow to the penis, patients will experience stronger, harder, and more sustainable erections. Results are meant to be long lasting. However, results may vary between patients. We will discuss your treatment plan and anticipated outcome with you during your consultation appointment.
*Results vary based on a patient’s medical condition and age and may take a few months to obtain.
