Energy Wave Therapy for the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction

Energy wave therapy is a non-invasive, treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED), helping men achieve a natural erection. Energy wave therapy is safe and effective. It utilizes gentle high-frequency, low-intensity shock waves to stimulate the erectile tissue and improve blood flow in the penis so men can achieve natural, spontaneous erections. The application of energy waves on the penis triggers revascularization, a process in which new blood vessels form. The formation of new blood vessels, coupled with the restoration of blood flow in the penis, helps restore erectile function in men with ED.

Quick, Safe, & Painless: How Energy Wave Therapy Works

The technician places the treatment wand gently on the penile skin in several different areas. In total, there are five points of treatment with each session: three on the top shaft of the penis and two underneath.

The energy waves are delivered through the skin into the tissue to stimulate new blood vessel growth, restore blood flow, and improve erectile quality. The energy waves repair older blood vessels and stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in the penis to improve erectile quality.

What to Expect

Your urologist will conduct a thorough medical examination to determine whether you’re a good candidate before you can start energy wave therapy for ED. During the treatment, the technician will follow the treatment protocol prescribed by your urologist. You will be made comfortable and asked to lie down to begin your treatment session. Energy wave therapy typically takes only 20 minutes, once a week, over six weeks for a total of six sessions. Most men experience little to no discomfort during or following the treatment.

After your treatment, there are no restrictions. You can immediately resume all normal activities, including sexual intercourse.

Results – A Return to Vitality

Most patients can get the quality, rigid erection they once had with energy wave therapy’s gentle energy pulse treatment within just six(6) office visits. Incremental improvement in erectile function may be seen after just a few sessions. The formation of new blood vessels typically takes about three (3) months to reach maximum effort.

Energy wave therapy, or low-intensity shock wave therapy (LI-SWT), has not yet earned the FDA’s approval. It has been used widely in the U.S. and in other countries for many years.
