Acoustic wave therapy is a low-intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT) that has been used to improve healthy blood flow. It is a non-invasive treatment that repairs and strengthens blood vessels in the penis area to help generate better erections and performance. Low and high frequency sound waves are used to cause microtrauma to the tissue under the skin, which stimulates the body's natural healing process in the area. This process uses low-intensity, non-invasive acoustic waves to cause neovascularization directly within the penis.
Neovascularization occurs when new blood vessels form naturally and help improve blood flow to the erect penis to help with firmness and more spontaneous erections. Originally used to break up kidney stones, acoustic wave therapy is now used to break up a scar or other tissue and promote tissue repair and regrowth. Acoustic wave therapy for ED, known as Shockwave or GAINSWave, stimulates the corpora cavernosa (arteries of the penis) and associated nerve tissue. Each Shockwave session begins with a topical anesthetic solution applied to the patient's genitals. Because erectile tissue extends beyond the area of the penis, treatment will include the area under the testicles and down to the perineum, except in patients with prostate cancer. Different solutions are used with different intensities, depending on the patient's health and individual response to pain.
If a patient is especially nervous about pain, a dorsal block of the penis can be used to completely block the nerve response during therapy. The erectile dysfunction specialist will monitor the numbness to ensure that the effect wears off as soon as possible, 2 ½ to 4 hours. We know that there are certain treatments, conditions and individual histories that are likely to respond better or worse to acoustic wave therapy. Acoustic wave therapy for erectile dysfunction is affordable and results are much more spontaneous, immediate and long-term than many other methods. Studies show that acoustic wave therapy improves erection quality in more than 70% of patients with vasculogenic erectile dysfunction or impairment. A licensed doctor uses a rod-like device to project light shockwaves onto the penis to promote the growth of new blood vessels.
These attributes make shockwave treatment an attractive option, with more restorative and long-lasting results. Many men treated with acoustic wave therapy for erectile dysfunction find that they no longer need medication to obtain and maintain a quality erection. Regenerative Revival is a reputable erectile dysfunction treatment center serving clients in and around The Woodlands, Texas to help men rediscover their healthy sexual performance through acoustic wave therapy treatment. We will apply a sufficient amount of gel to the target area to transfer the acoustic waves smoothly and effectively. Acoustic wave therapy for ED is a simple, drug-free, painless, non-invasive procedure that cures or reduces the vascular difficulties of ED rather than just treating the symptoms. Although extremely rare, it has been reported that acoustic wave therapy may have induced veno-occlusive vascular insufficiency.
Acoustic wave therapy is a highly effective treatment that is restoring the most optimal erectile function for many men.
