What is Shockwave Therapy?

Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (LI-ESWT) uses acoustic waves to stimulate blood vessel growth and improve circulation in penile tissue. The treatment is completely non-invasive—no needles, no surgery, no medications.

Originally developed for cardiac patients, shockwave therapy has been extensively studied for erectile dysfunction and shows significant promise for:

  • Mild to moderate ED: Particularly effective for vascular-related erectile issues
  • Performance enhancement: Men wanting harder, longer-lasting erections
  • Early intervention: Men noticing declining erection quality
  • Medication support: Can enhance effectiveness of ED medications or reduce reliance on them
  • Post-prostatectomy recovery: Supporting erectile function after surgery

Each session takes 15-20 minutes and is performed in a private treatment room. Most men describe the sensation as a mild tingling or pulsing—not painful.

Key Benefits

✓ Improved Blood Flow

Stimulates neovascularization (new blood vessel growth) in penile tissue, improving circulation and oxygen delivery. Better blood flow = stronger erections.

✓ Harder, More Reliable Erections

Many men report significantly improved erection quality—harder, more sustainable erections that are easier to achieve and maintain.

✓ Restored Spontaneous Erections

Some men regain morning erections and spontaneous arousal that had diminished over time.

✓ Non-Invasive & Drug-Free

No needles, no surgery, no systemic medications. Treatment is localized and has minimal side effects.

✓ Long-Lasting Results

Clinical studies show benefits lasting 1-2 years after a full course. Maintenance sessions can extend results.

✓ Can Reduce Medication Reliance

Many men find they need lower doses of ED medications (Viagra, Cialis) or can stop using them altogether after shockwave therapy.

Who is Shockwave Therapy For?

Shockwave therapy is ideal for men who:

  • Experience mild to moderate erectile dysfunction
  • Notice declining erection quality or reliability
  • Want to improve sexual performance naturally
  • Have vascular-related ED (blood flow issues)
  • Don't respond well to or can't take ED medications
  • Want to reduce reliance on pills for erections
  • Are recovering from prostate surgery
  • Want early intervention before ED worsens
  • Prefer non-invasive, drug-free treatment options

💭 Best candidates: Men with vascular ED (most common type) tend to see the best results. Shockwave therapy works by improving blood flow, so if your ED is primarily psychological or neurological, results may be limited. Your practitioner will assess suitability during consultation.

⚠️ Not suitable if you:

  • Have severe ED (complete inability to achieve erections)
  • Have active genital infections or open wounds
  • Take blood-thinning medications (discuss with practitioner)
  • Have certain bleeding disorders
  • Have penile implants or prosthetics
  • Expect immediate overnight results (requires commitment to full course)

What to Expect: Your Shockwave Journey

1

Free Consultation

Comprehensive discussion of your sexual health history, ED severity, and treatment goals. Your practitioner will explain how shockwave therapy works and set realistic expectations.

2

First Treatment

15-20 minutes. The device is applied to multiple areas of the penis to deliver acoustic waves. Most men describe it as a mild tingling or pulsing sensation.

3

Treatment Course

Typically 6-8 sessions over 3-6 weeks (2-3 treatments per week initially). Consistent attendance is critical for optimal results.

4

Results & Monitoring

Most men notice gradual improvement over 2-12 weeks after completing the course. Progress review sessions help track improvement and determine if maintenance is needed.

Timeline & Results

During Treatment (Weeks 1-6)

You may notice:

  • Slight improvement in erection quality after 2-3 sessions
  • More frequent spontaneous erections
  • Increased morning erections

After Completing Course (Weeks 6-12)

Most men experience:

  • Peak improvement at 8-12 weeks after final session
  • Significantly harder, more reliable erections
  • Improved ability to achieve and maintain erections
  • Restored confidence in sexual performance
  • Better response to ED medications (if still using them)

Long-Term (6+ Months)

Clinical studies show:

  • Benefits typically last 1-2 years
  • Maintenance sessions (2-4 per year) can extend results
  • Many men maintain improvements with periodic top-ups

⏰ Patience required: Shockwave therapy is not a quick fix. You're stimulating natural biological processes (blood vessel growth), which takes time. Most men see best results 8-12 weeks after completing their course.

Clinical Evidence & Safety

How It Works

Low-intensity shockwaves create microtrauma in penile blood vessels, triggering the body's natural healing response. This leads to:

  • Neovascularization: Growth of new blood vessels
  • Improved endothelial function: Better blood vessel health
  • Tissue regeneration: Healthier erectile tissue
  • Nerve regeneration: Improved nerve signaling

Clinical Studies

Multiple peer-reviewed studies demonstrate shockwave therapy's effectiveness:

  • 60-70% of men with vascular ED show significant improvement
  • Improvements in IIEF scores (standardized erectile function measure)
  • Benefits lasting 1-2 years in most responders
  • Excellent safety profile with minimal side effects

Safety Profile

Shockwave therapy is considered very safe when performed correctly:

  • Non-invasive: No surgery, needles, or medications
  • Minimal side effects: Occasional mild redness or sensitivity that resolves quickly
  • No systemic effects: Treatment is localized to the penis
  • No drug interactions: Can be used alongside ED medications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does shockwave therapy actually work?

Yes, for the right candidates. Clinical studies show 60-70% of men with vascular ED experience significant improvement. Results are best for mild to moderate ED caused by blood flow issues. It won't work for everyone, but when it does work, results can be significant and long-lasting.

Does it hurt?

No. Most men describe it as a mild tingling, tapping, or pulsing sensation. It's not painful—many men find it quite tolerable and even relaxing.

How many treatments do I need?

Most protocols recommend 6-8 sessions over 3-6 weeks (typically 2-3 treatments per week initially). Some men benefit from additional sessions or periodic maintenance.

When will I see results?

Most men notice gradual improvement over 2-12 weeks after completing the course. Peak results typically appear 8-12 weeks after the final session. This is biological tissue regeneration—it takes time.

How long do results last?

Clinical studies show benefits lasting 1-2 years after a full course. Many men maintain results with periodic maintenance sessions (2-4 per year).

Can I use it with Viagra/Cialis?

Yes! Shockwave therapy can be used alongside ED medications. Many men find medications work better after shockwave therapy, or they need lower doses. Some men eventually stop using medications altogether.

Is it better than pills?

Different approach. Pills provide temporary symptom relief (4-36 hours). Shockwave therapy aims to address underlying vascular causes for longer-lasting natural improvement. Many men use both initially, then reduce pill reliance over time.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Shockwave therapy doesn't work for everyone. If you don't respond after a full course, we can discuss other options like PRP P-Shot, combination treatments, or referral to specialists for further investigation.

Is it safe?

Very safe. Shockwave therapy is non-invasive with minimal side effects. Occasional mild redness or sensitivity may occur but resolves quickly. No systemic side effects like you'd get with pills.

How much does it cost?

Single session from £149. Full 6 or 8-session courses are available at discounted rates—discussed during your free consultation. Most men find the course option offers better value and results.
