erectile dysfunction

In general, this is what happens during treatment:

You will be positioned comfortably on the treatment table.
A focused shockwave is then delivered to several areas on the penis
These areas include the side of perineum, base of the penis and the shaft of the penis (see picture below).

Each treatment will last around 20mins per session.

During the treatment, you may feel a tapping sensation on the treatment area as the shockwaves pass harmlessly through your body.

There are total of 6 sessions (once a week) to complete therapy.
