Shockwave Therapy for ED

Piezo Shockwave technology has provided a breakthrough in the treatment for erectile dysfunction and Peyronies disease by providing a non invasive, non pharmaceutical option. Our Piezo wave technology offers unique therapy source designs to meet the specific needs of each condition.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) uses a unique set of compression waves to the treatment area which result in neovascularization, nitric oxide release, and stimulation of blood flow. This repairs aged blood vessels and removes micro-plaque which have been built up over years, allowing the patient to achieve and maintain erections.

The mechanical energy of the shockwaves is generated extracorporeally and transferred in a focused manner into the diseased target tissue. There, the mechanical stimulus is converted into positive, therapeutic acting biochemical signals that help the body to repair altered tissue and initiate tissue regeneration.

What to Expect

The treatment protocol varies depending on the IIEF-5 test which is provided at your first visit. All therapies are performed on an outpatient basis without anesthesia. Each treatment is painless and takes about 20-25 minutes. The therapy head is positioned on the skin and then moved following the anatomical course of the target tissue.

The initial treatment protocol is 8 sessions over a 6 week period. Follow-up sessions are usually every 3-6 months thereafter if you have a good therapeutic response.
