Most men will tell you that their penis is the most important organ in their body. Of course, although this is not entirely true for daily physiological survival, the proper functioning and reliability of the penis plays an important role in intimate relationships. Difficulty getting or maintaining an erection and/or concerns about the size, shape and curvature of the penis, with or without pain, can affect self-esteem and create significant stress between partners.
Our body has a remarkable ability to heal itself. The regeneration of new tissue is accomplished by the natural production of stem cells. PRP involves concentrated platelets, rich in bioactive proteins, which release growth factors to stimulate cell regeneration and accelerate tissue repair. The benefits of PRP were initially used in wound healing, dentistry and the treatment of sports injuries, but have now evolved to address aesthetic concerns and sexual dysfunctions (erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's disease in men). PRP is one of the most advanced and effective natural treatments for cellular repair AND rejuvenation throughout the body.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) belongs to the category of regenerative autologous treatments, which means that it comes from your own blood and can stimulate cell regeneration and tissue repair. Platelets are one of the cells in our blood and when activated they can release growth factors and other proteins.
The name P-Shot is actually an abbreviated version of the Priapus Shot. It was invented by Dr. Charles Runels after he first injected his own penis. He felt that Priapus, the Greek god of male regenerative power, perfectly represented what he was trying to achieve.

- Stronger and firmer erections.
- Easier to get and maintain erections (i.e. better sexual stamina).
- Increase in penis length and girth.
- Improvement or resolution of penile curvature due to Peyronie's disease.
- Resolution of penile pain with erection.
- Increased sensitivity in the penis.
- Better overall blood flow to the penis.
No. TriMix is an injection to produce an erection for a short period of time and must be administered each time you wish to have an erection; however, the P-Shot ® is a treatment that revives and enhances your natural erections.
The growth factors and proteins released by the high concentration of platelets in PRP in turn activate stem cells and stimulate cell repair and regeneration wherever they are applied in the body. In addition, the production of collagen and the formation of new blood vessels occur and further contribute to tissue repair.
A small amount of blood is taken in the office at the time of the procedure. Your blood is then centrifuged in a specially designed centrifuge which separates the platelets and plasma from the rest of the blood. The platelets are isolated and then returned to the body where their benefits are needed. In addition to the numbing cream on the skin, a block is performed on the penis, so there is no pain.
The PRP injection is performed in our office. This should take around 60 minutes from start to finish, but we usually allow a little extra time. You can drive home after the procedure.
Yes. The use of a VED, or vacuum erectile device, is essential for optimal success of the procedure. This is usually done twice a day. It only takes a few minutes of your time and without it the success rates are usually lower. We will guide you through it the first time.
You can resume sexual activity approximately 4 hours after the procedure on the same day.
Since PRP is extracted from your own blood, there are few and only minor potential side effects. These include minor bleeding or bruising, swelling, and very rarely infection.
We use the Emcyte Pure PRP System. It extracts the highest concentrations of platelets on the market while simultaneously eliminating 99% of red blood cells (RBCs) that can hinder the regeneration process. Many other PRP systems fail to deliver a final injectable that can be considered platelet-rich. Unlike many other systems, Emcyte is a completely closed system at all stages of processing that meets the highest standards of sterility. So if you are going to have a PRP injection, start with the best equipment to give you the highest quality product and maximize your success.
