ShockWave Therapy
Treat your erectile dysfunction today.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy, also known as low-intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT), is a noninvasive therapy that’s been used in orthopedics for years to help heal broken bones, injured ligaments, and injured tendons. It has also been used to improve wound healing. Using targeted high-energy sound waves, shockwave therapy can speed up tissue repair and cell growth.
Shockwave therapy has also been found to be very effective in treating erectile dysfunction (ED). Erections rely on healthy blood flow to the penile tissue. Shockwave therapy can potentially repair and strengthen blood vessels in the penis and improve blood flow.
Increasing blood flow to the penis is the same goal as more traditional ED treatments, such as oral medications, including sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis).
During the treatment, a small wand-like device uses targeted sound waves to stimulate penile tissue and encourage blood flow, which can also speed up the healing process. Low-intensity shockwaves have also been shown to grow new blood vessels and improve blood flow in the penis, which is essential for erections.
Benefits of ShockWave Therapy for ED
Shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge treatment for erectile dysfunction offering unique benefits. It has shown promising results in improving erectile function and blood flow to the penis, potentially setting a new standard in ED care. The benefits include:
- Can potentially restore erectile function without medication
- Minimally invasive
- Safe to use
- Minimal to no side effects
Are You a Candidate For Treatment?
This procedure works best for men with mild erectile dysfunction who:
- Are not responding to medications adequately
- Are not interested in taking medications
- Are interested in trying regenerative therapy to reverse some of the causes of ED
- Want to receive shockwave therapy in combination with other therapies such as the P-shot
- Have Peyronie’s disease
What To Expect
During your initial consultation, your Allure Aesthetic Center provider will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your medical history and perform a physical examination to determine if you are a candidate for treatment. They will also listen to your needs and goals for treatment.
If you’re found to be a candidate for shockwave therapy, they will discuss the procedure in detail, explaining how it works, what benefits you can expect, and any potential risks or side effects.
On the day of your treatment, a specialized device known as InPulsa will be placed directly on the skin of your penis. This device emits concentrated sound waves in short, intense bursts that penetrate the penile tissue. These waves stimulate the body’s natural repair mechanisms, encouraging blood flow and tissue healing. Each session is relatively quick, lasting about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your specific needs. The procedure is generally painless, with most people reporting no discomfort. It’s a non-invasive approach, so there’s no need for anesthesia or any recovery time.
After the session, you can expect to resume your daily activities immediately, with no downtime required. Follow-up sessions might be scheduled to achieve the best possible outcome.
Possible Risks
Risks associated with shockwave therapy are minimal and can include minor discomfort and soreness at the treatment site. In rare cases, some individuals might experience bruising or blistering on their skin. Your Allure Aesthetic Center provider will discuss all potential risks with you before administering treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does shockwave therapy work?
The therapy works by emitting high-energy acoustic waves to the targeted area, stimulating the body’s natural healing process, growing new blood vessels in the penis, and improving blood flow in the penis, both of which are essential for erections. It can also be effective at breaking up fibrous tissue in men with Peyronie’s disease.
What conditions can be treated with shockwave therapy?
Beyond its use in orthopedics for pain relief and recovery, in med spa settings, it’s effective for treating erectile dysfunction and Peyronie’s disease.
Is shockwave therapy painful?
Most clients experience little to no discomfort during the treatment. Some might feel a tingling sensation, but it’s generally well-tolerated.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies depending on the severity of your condition and the desired outcomes. Typically, a series of sessions, ranging from 6 to 12, spaced a week apart, are recommended for optimal results. Some men might require more treatments to achieve their desired outcomes.
During your initial consultation, your Allure Aesthetic Center provider will assess your condition and provide a personalized treatment plan that includes the estimated number of sessions needed to achieve the best results.
What are the side effects of shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is considered safe with minimal side effects. Some individuals might experience temporary redness, swelling, or minor discomfort in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few days.
How long does each treatment session last?
Each session typically lasts between 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the specific conditions being addressed.
How soon can I expect to see results?
Some individuals might notice improvements shortly after the first session. However, the effects are typically cumulative, with optimal results becoming more apparent after completing the recommended course of treatment.
Is there any downtime after shockwave treatment?
No. In addition to this being a completely noninvasive procedure is the lack of downtime. Clients can usually resume their normal activities immediately after the session.
How does Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy differ from Radial Shockwave Therapy?
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) are both non-invasive treatments that use shock waves to promote healing, but they differ in their application and the conditions they target. ESWT is commonly used at med spas for improving the skin, and in physical therapy for conditions such as tennis elbow, where high-energy shock waves are directed from outside the body to the affected area to stimulate healing.
On the other hand, RSWT emits shock waves that spread out radially, making it less focused and typically used for treating larger areas. While ESWT has been historically used for breaking down kidney stones without surgery, its application has expanded.
