Erectile dysfunction (ED) is much more common than many may realise. While medications offer temporary relief, they often don’t address the underlying causes. However, shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) has emerged as a clinically backed, drug-free solution that targets the root issues, offering hope for long-term improvement. Here at Dr SW Clinics, we use the advanced VIGORE™ system to provide non-invasive and highly effective shockwave therapy. In this blog, we’ll guide you through the shockwave therapy for ED treatment, so you know exactly what to expect going into this life-changing procedure.
Shockwave therapy, specifically Low-intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (LI-EWST), is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in penile tissue. These sound waves promote the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and enhance blood flow, which is vital for achieving and maintaining erections. At Dr SW Clinics, we offer this therapy using the state-of-the-art VIGORE™ system, delivering a safe and effective treatment experience under our O Concept™ protocol.
The therapy involves directing low-intensity sound waves to specific areas of the penis. These soundwaves create microtrauma in the tissue which triggers the body’s natural healing response. This process leads to the formation of new blood vessels and the rejuvenation of existing ones, which helps to improve blood flow and erectile function. Unlike medications that offer temporary solutions, shockwave therapy addresses the vascular causes of erectile dysfunction to provide a more sustainable improvement.
Before your first session, you’ll have a confidential consultation to assess your symptoms. Based on this, your practitioner will recommend a tailored course of 6 or 12 sessions.
Each treatment takes place in a calm, clinical environment designed to ensure your comfort and privacy. You’ll be cared for by experienced professionals trained specifically in sexual regenerative therapies.
Each session lasts around 20 minutes. During the procedure, a handheld device is applied to targeted areas of the penis and delivers low-intensity sound waves. Most patients describe the sensation as a light tapping or tingling – the treatment is painless and does not require any anaesthetic.
After the session, you can immediately return to your usual schedule. Within two weeks, you can expect to notice improved firmness and performance, with optimal results apparent around one month after your final session. For many, the results last a year or more.
