Your Questions
Below are the questions men ask most often about ErectionWave™ therapy. If yours isn't here, a call with our team is the best next step.
ErectionWave™ is an in-office treatment that uses low-intensity shockwaves to support healthy blood flow in the tissue of the penis. Because blood flow is the foundation of a strong erection, the therapy focuses on the vascular system. It is non-invasive and does not involve drugs, needles, or surgery.
Most men describe the sessions as comfortable. Some feel a mild tingling sensation during treatment, which resolves quickly. No anesthesia is required for the shockwave treatment itself.
Treatment plans vary from man to man. A typical course involves a series of short in-office sessions, each lasting about 20 minutes, spaced over several weeks. Your specific plan is determined during your evaluation with Dr. Shusterman.
No. ErectionWave™ is non-invasive, and most men return to their normal activities — including work — immediately after each session.
This varies. Many men report changes gradually over the course of treatment and the weeks that follow. Results are individual and are not guaranteed. Dr. Shusterman will set honest, personalized expectations during your consultation.
