Shockwave therapy (ESWT) to combat erectile dysfunction

What is shock therapy?

Shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a modern medical method for permanent treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) that attacks not just the symptoms, but the root cause of the problem - impaired blood supply. Unlike medications (which have a temporary effect and put a strain on the cardiovascular system), this therapy uses acoustic waves to restore the body's natural functions.

What does the patient feel?(100% painless)

We understand that any intervention in this delicate area causes concern. We want to assure you: the procedure is completely painless. Because we use gentle low-energy acoustic waves through the Zimmer GentlePro device, no anesthesia, needles, or medication is necessary.

During the session, you will only feel a slight pulsing or gentle tapping in the treated area. The treatment is so mild that as soon as you leave the office, you can return to your normal routine with absolutely no recovery period.

How does the treatment work?(Medical explanation)

The radial shock waves applied by the device penetrate deep into the tissues of the penis and induce a natural healing process called neoangiogenesis. This means:

1. Tissue Stimulation: The waves cause microtrauma at the cellular level (without organ damage).
2. New Vessel Formation: The body responds by building entirely new micro-blood vessels.
3. Expansion of existing vessels: The elasticity and permeability of existing vessels is improved.
4. Result: Significant increase in blood flow to the corpora cavernosa of the penis, resulting in firmer, harder and longer lasting erections.
