Shockwave therapy involves using a wand-like device on different areas of the penis. A healthcare professional guides the device along different parts of the penis for approximately 15 minutes, emitting gentle pulses without the need for anaesthesia.
These pulses stimulate blood flow and tissue remodelling within the penis, resulting in improvements that can lead to better erections.
Currently, there is no established recommendation for the duration or frequency of treatment. However, clinical studies indicate that the most common treatment protocol consisted of twice-weekly sessions for 3 weeks, followed by a 3-week break, and then another 3 weeks of twice-weekly treatments.
According to studies, the positive effects of shockwave therapy were observed to persist for approximately one year.
