What is WAVE Therapy?

Low-intensity shock wave therapy (Li-ESWT) is an effective, painless, drug-free solution to erectile dysfunction.

WAVE Therapy involves delivering a series of low energy wave pulses to the penis to improve blood flow. Treatments are painless, performed in the office without the need for medication or surgery, and take just a few minutes. The acoustic waves stimulate growth factors to create new blood vessels (“neovascularization”), and rejuvenate erectile tissue. This improves blood flow to the penis to create stronger and more sustainable erections.

Oral medications work by temporarily increasing blood flow to the penis by opening up existing blood vessels. "Neovascularization" from WAVE Therapy is a permanent process in which blood flow is restored and improved through the formation of new blood vessels.

Is WAVE therapy effective?

WAVE Therapy is most effective for patients with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction caused by common conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and the aging process. Clinical trials have shown the most improvement in patients who show the early signs of ED, patients who take oral medication for erections, or patients in whom oral medications are no longer effective.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions.

How does WAVE Therapy work?
Men with the most common type of erectile dysfunction lack adequate blood flow to the penis to achieve or sustain an erection. WAVE Therapy involves delivering a series of low energy acoustic wave pulses to the penis. The treatments improve blood flow to the penis to create stronger and more sustainable erections.
Is WAVE Therapy effective?
WAVE Therapy is most effective for patients with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction caused by common conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and the aging process.

What are the benefits of treatment?
While individual results may vary, patients have reported firmer erections, increased spontaneity, improved sensation in the penis, and more sustainable erections. Many men no longer required oral medication to achieve or sustain an erection.
Does WAVE Therapy hurt?
The treatments are painless.
How long do the results last?
In one study, 91% of men reported continued improvement at one year after treatment. Other studies have shown consistent results 2-3 years after treatment.
Is WAVE Therapy FDA approved?
While Li-ESWT is FDA approved for some conditions, it is currently considered "off-label" for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
