FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
How do shock waves affect erections?
Low-intensity shock waves stimulate the formation of new blood vessels (neo-angiogenesis) in the corpora cavernosa. They thus improve the vascularization of the penis, a key mechanism of erection.
Is the treatment painful?
No. The sessions are painless and require no anesthesia. Each session lasts approximately 20 minutes, during a consultation, and you can resume your activities immediately.
How many sessions are needed?
The protocol typically includes 6 to 12 sessions spread over several weeks. The first effects are often observed after a few sessions and continue to progress in the weeks following the end of treatment.
For which patients are shockwave therapy effective?
This treatment is primarily intended for mild to moderate erectile dysfunction of vascular origin. It can improve the response to oral medications, or even eliminate the need for them. A consultation will determine if this treatment is appropriate.
