Understanding Erectile Dysfunction

Before diving into The Priapus Shot, it's important to have a thorough understanding of Erectile Dysfunction.

It is important to understand that Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a medical condition as we know it may cause anxiety and may not be the most comfortable topic of conversation.

There are a few treatment options for erectile dysfunction and it is important to know the benefits of each to determine which treatment is right for you. At Physician Artistry Medical Spa, we take a whole body holistic approach to your wellness. This allows a seamless approach to your health, targeting the root causes, creating lasting results.

What is the GAINSWave Treatment for ED?

Sometimes referred to as GAINSWave at other offices, shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction is a procedure in which energy from acoustic waves are used to target different areas of the penis to improve blood flow. The procedure causes new blood vessels to form in once-constricted areas, enhancing tissue growth to facilitate erectile function over an extended period of time.

Shockwave therapy uses non-invasive sound waves to increase blood flow in the penis and remove plaque. You can’t see them or even feel much during the procedure. It’s simple, quick and pain-free.

Shockwave therapy will be applied to your skin, targeting different areas of the penis in order to open existing blood vessels that have become clogged as well as stimulating the growth of new blood vessels. This leads to an overall rejuvenation of erectile tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Priapus Shot work?

Platelet rich plasma contains many growth factors and healing factors and has regenerative abilities and thus stimulates healing and rejuvenation. The resulting benefits typically include tissue growth that increases growth of new blood vessels and improved circulation within the penis, stronger erections, increased sensation and pleasure and enhanced sexual performance. Some men report changes in girth and length of the penis. Many of these benefits are experienced immediately after receiving the injection. And, because the treatment uses the patient’s own blood derived plasma, it is non-allergenic and free of harmful side effects*.

How long does it take for a Priapus shot to work?

Some men notice improved sensitivity and firmness within the first few days. At around the 2-3 week mark you will notice initial improvements in erection quality. At 4-6 weeks, increased blood flow and tissue regeneration produce stronger, longer-lasting erections. The full effects peak around the 2-3 month mark, with enhanced sensitivity, performance, and even possible growth in girth or length.
