Treat Peyronie’s with Soundwave Therapy – The Doctors
You want to make it a night to remember… but then the pain, plaque, and disabling penal curvature sabotage you again. You’re not alone. Peyronie’s disease affects as many as 1 in 11 men, though not all of them experience the same degree of pain and erectile dysfunction. NOVOWave™ therapy may be able to help.
This connective tissue disorder can be likened to arthritis of the penis. Although its exact cause is unknown, research suggests Peyronie’s may develop after trauma – like bending or hitting – causes bleeding and subsequent scar tissue (plaque) buildup in the penis. After a trauma, the penis can regrow scar tissue that doesn’t stretch during erection, causing curvature and making erections and intercourse painful.
Genetics and aging also appear to play a role. Tissue changes lead to easier injury and slower healing as men get older. This puts them at greater risk for developing Peyronie’s.
NOVOWave™ Therapy is a nonsurgical procedure that delivers pressure waves to penis plaque to break it up and stimulate healing (the same approach that has been breaking up kidney stones for decades).
Our sexual health specialists have studied and refined NOVOWave™ Therapy for Peyronie’s disease, and provided relief for dozens of men without dangerous surgeries or costly medications. You can be one of them. To schedule a discreet consultation with our compassionate, highly skilled specialists call Novus Anti-Aging Center today at (323) 391-6420 or contact us here.
How does NOVOWave™ Therapy work?
Like an airplane breaking the sound barrier with a super sonic boom that can shatter a car window, NOVOWave™ Therapy shatters painful scar tissue.
Like glass, scar tissue is non-elastic – that’s why it prevents normal movement and function, weakening surrounding tissue, and often causing further painful damage.
NOVOWave™ Therapy functions like a “controlled explosion.” Low frequency acoustic shockwaves travel through damaged penal plaque where they:
- exert pressure to stimulate cell regeneration
- release free radicals like nitric oxide
- increase blood circulation, widening blood vessels
- break down fibrous scar tissue
- decrease calcification
- reduce pain
- improve muscle spasticity
- restore normal motor function
- enable quicker return to pleasurable sex
An Australian study administered low intensity therapy to men who had PD longer than 6 months. Two thirds of patients had tried oral medications with no results. After treatment, they reported improvement in penile curvature, plaque hardness, and penile pain. No complications were reported.
This minimally invasive regenerative therapy treats Peyronie’s disease by eliminating pain while restoring erection firmness and duration. And because this procedure is performed in our office, there’s minimal downtime and no hospital stay required.
The NOVOWave™ procedure
To help a patient remain still and reduce possible discomfort our highly trained sexual health specialists will apply numbing cream to patients before their NOVOWave™ procedure.
Your specialist will generate low frequency sound waves with our proprietary NOVOWave™ device, creating a focused, acoustic pulse that aims to break up scar tissue cells with minimal collateral damage. You may experience shaking or intense vibration. The entire procedure may last between 15 and 20 minutes.
It often takes at least 6 treatments to resolve the condition, and we recommend patients book consecutive weekly sessions to gain the full benefits of our proprietary procedures.
There are no known side effects of NOVOWave™ Therapy. Occasionally, patients have experienced a mild diffuse pain within a few hours of treatment that lasted 24 hours at most. Most men experience pain reduction by that time.
Who is not a candidate for NOVOWave™ Therapy?
Although this Peyronie’s disease treatment is regenerative and non-invasive, it may have harmful effects when administered in bodies with increased sensitivities due to certain life stages or health conditions.
NOVOWave™ Therapy may cause contraindications in:
- patients under 18 years of age
- patients with infections
- patients with open growth plates or metal pins
- patients with malignant tumors
- patients with nerve or circulation disorders
- patients taking anticoagulants
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Peyronie’s Disease Go Away on Its Own?
Once this type of plaque occurs, it rarely goes away by itself. In fact, Peyronie’s disease is far more likely to get gradually worse over time.
How Much Does NOVOWave™ Therapy Cost?
The extent of your symptoms will affect the price of your NOVOWave™ Therapy and how many sessions you’ll need to experience relief. Treating other types of erectile dysfunction with this procedure will also play a role in the total cost.
Does NOVOWave™ Therapy Hurt?
Most patients only feel a dull snapping sensation, if anything. We will numb the area ahead of time to make sure you’re comfortable. Some minor swelling can occur after your sessions but should quickly subside.
What Should I Do After My Appointments?
Most patients can return to work right after their appointment unless their job involves heavy lifting or other strenuous activity. Our specialists will advise you on when it is safe to go back to the gym and resume sexual activity. You may also need to avoid anti-inflammatory medication until otherwise directed.
How Long Will My Results Last?
The results of a NOVOWave™ treatment are meant to be permanent. If more scar tissue develops later on from an injury or aging, that would probably necessitate an additional treatment.
