Quick answer

Low-Intensity Shock Wave Therapy (LiSWT) is a non-invasive treatment for erectile dysfunction that delivers gentle, focused acoustic waves to penile tissue to stimulate new blood-vessel growth and natural healing. It requires no medication, no needles, and no downtime, and is being studied as a way to address a root cause of ED rather than just the symptom.

## A different approach to ED

Most erectile dysfunction comes down to blood flow. Low-Intensity Shock Wave Therapy aims at that root cause: gentle, focused acoustic waves are applied to the tissue to encourage the growth of new blood vessels (a process called neovascularization) and stimulate the body's own repair response. It's drug-free and non-invasive — an appealing option for men who want to avoid pills or injections, or who haven't gotten the results they want from them.

## What treatment is like

- In-office and comfortable — each session is brief, with no anesthesia required.

- No downtime — return to your day right afterward.

- A short series of sessions is typical; Dr. Lief will outline a plan for you.

## Honest expectations

Shock wave therapy for ED is a promising, actively studied treatment. Results vary from man to man, and it works best for certain causes of ED. Dr. Lief will give you a candid assessment of whether LiSWT — alone or combined with [PRP/PRI™](penile-restorative-injection.html) or other options — is a good fit for your situation.
