Rising to the occasion

“It’s a highly effective option, but may not be right for everyone,” Dr. Laurel Matthews, of Dr. Laurel’s PRP Bar explains, referencing the sexual rejuvenating P-Shot she introduced earlier this year to men suffering from erectile dysfunction.

“I’m thrilled to now offer Shockwave as an alternative.”

Shockwave involves the use of low-intensity sound waves to essentially wake the penis up. It stimulates the formation of new blood vessels and growth of new nerve tissue.

Dr. Laurel recommends a series of three sessions and each takes less than 20 minutes. There is no pain, no downtime, and you can return to normal activities immediately following treatment.

“This is proven science,” Dr. Laurel says. “The success rate of this procedure is such that 75 percent of all men who have received it report improved sexual performance. Shockwave lasts one to two years with annual follow-up treatments recommended.”

Administered in conjunction with the P-Shot, the effects of Shockwave are significantly enhanced, she says.
