What Is Wave Therapy?
Wave Therapy uses low-intensity shockwaves directed at the penis to promote angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) and improve blood flow to erectile tissue. The treatment stimulates the body's natural healing response, potentially restoring erectile function in men with ED. Unlike medications that work only while taken, Wave Therapy aims to provide lasting improvement by addressing the underlying blood flow problem.
Why Men Choose Wave Therapy
- No medication required — addresses ED without daily pills or injections
- Non-invasive — no incisions or surgery
- Improves blood flow — may restore natural erectile function
- Lasting results — improvements can persist months after treatment
- Office-based procedure — quick appointments with minimal downtime
- Well-tolerated — minimal side effects for most men
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Wave Therapy is ideal for men with erectile dysfunction caused by blood flow problems, including those who have not responded well to PDE5 inhibitors or prefer to avoid medications. It's also effective for men in the early stages of ED who want to avoid medication dependency. Dr. Libby assesses your ED history and causes during consultation to confirm candidacy.
What to Expect
Before Treatment
You'll have a thorough evaluation where Dr. Libby discusses your ED history, symptoms, and previous treatments. Vascular function may be assessed to confirm Wave Therapy is appropriate. No special preparation is needed, and the procedure can often be scheduled within days.
During Treatment
In the office, shockwave energy is applied to the penis using a handheld device. You'll feel vibrations and possibly mild discomfort, but no anesthesia is needed. Each session takes 15-20 minutes. Treatment protocols typically involve 12 sessions over 6-12 weeks.
Recovery and Results
You can return to normal activities immediately. Most men notice gradual improvement over weeks, with best results appearing 2-3 months after completing treatment. Some men experience immediate improvement, while others require several weeks. Results typically last 12-18 months or longer, and retreatment is possible if needed.
Reclaim Your Sexual Health
ED doesn't have to limit your life or your relationship. Wave Therapy offers a promising non-invasive option for men ready to move beyond medications.
