What Is PRP? And Is It The Best ED Treatment?

Looking for the best ED treatment? Have you ever heard of PRP? It’s a revolutionary treatment that’s taken both the aesthetics and medical world by storm due to its potent ability to restore and revive.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is proven to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints, and it can even revive your skin, giving it a youthful glow. 

But that’s not all. PRP can also be used as an effective erectile dysfunction treatment but is it the best treatment for ED? 

Keep reading to find out… 

What Is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains essential cell-regenerating growth factors that can be used to stimulate the growth of new, younger tissue and increase blood flow. 

A PRP procedure works by taking a small amount of your blood which is then spun at a high frequency within a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This is then injected into a treatment area. In this way, PRP injections use an individual patient’s healing system to heal and regenerate.

What Is PRP Used For?

PRP isn’t new; it’s actually been used for decades in the medical field, dating as far back as 1975. Because it’s derived from a patient’s blood, it is a natural and safe treatment, and there are many different PRP treatments available, such as:

• The Vampire Facial
• PRP for hair loss
• Sports Injury
• Erectile dysfunction

When the P-Shot is used to treat erectile dysfunction, it can also increase the size and firmness of your erection and boost your sexual performance, stamina and girth, putting it firmly in the running for the best ED treatment. 

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to get and keep an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse. It’s the most common sexual problem that men report to their doctors, and many men struggle to find the best ED treatment for them.

ED might affect you occasionally, or you may find yourself frequently dealing with the issue. Some of the most common causes are:

• Age
• High blood pressure
• High blood sugar
• Cardiovascular
• High cholesterol
• Smoking
• Drug use
• Alcohol consumption
• Obesity
• Lack of exercise
• Peronie’s Disease

If you’re suffering from ED, you’re probably searching for a solution, but you don’t want to rely on pills, pumps and potions – you want the best ed treatment out there. 

PRP For Erectile Dysfunction

The Priapus Shot, also known as the P Shot, is a pioneering treatment often used for erectile dysfunction. It helps to improve issues such as impotence or the inability to maintain a firm erection.

One of the things that makes PRP one of the best ED treatment options available, is that it harnesses the power of your own ability to regenerate. First, your doctor will take some of your blood, much like in a blood test. Then the blood is put into a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

The PRP contains cell-regenerating growth factors that are used to stimulate the growth of new, younger tissue and increase blood flow. For many years it has been used in medical and aesthetic treatments, but experts have also found that using the same process can combat erectile problems, giving men more treatment options.

At Elite Aesthetics, we use a specific FDA Approved centrifuge to give the best possible results, and we’re the only clinic in the UK to use this particular centrifuge for the P Shot.

Once collected and ready, your PRP is injected into your penis. This might sound uncomfortable, but you don’t have to worry, we carry out the procedure under local anaesthetic, so you’ll experience little to no discomfort.

Following treatment, our patients experience firmer, stronger erections and reduced or resolved erectile dysfunction symptoms. 

The Best ED Treatment: PRP vs Alternatives

Although we believe PRP to be one of the best ED treatments out there, there are other options available too. 

Medications 

ED medications allow the blood vessels in the penis to relax and increase blood flow. Side effects can include headache, flushing, upset stomach, nasal congestion, vision problems, diarrhoea, dizziness and rashes.

Lifestyle changes 

Making healthier lifestyle choices has been known to improve symptoms of ED. Things like quitting smoking, exercising more and consuming less caffeine and alcohol.

Supplements

Some research supports that supplements, including vitamin D, red ginseng, L-alanine, L-carnitine and Tribulus Terrestris can treat mild to moderate ED. However, not everyone responds to these supplements in the same way, and some men have reported little to no change after taking them.

ED Ring 

There are wearable devices, such as an ED ring which can help you maintain an erection. These are most suitable for men who can get an erection but have trouble sustaining one.

ED Pump

An erectile dysfunction pump is a device to help achieve and maintain an erection by drawing blood into the penis via air suction. It’s not a cure for erectile dysfunction but it can help increase your ability to have sexual intercourse.

Are There Risks With PRP?

PRP is so popular because there is little to no risk associated with it. There’s no risk of allergic reaction as it’s your own blood, and the treatment is comfortable. However, you might have slight swelling/bruising from the injection side, but this will be minor.

PRP injections are minimally invasive and very safe when completed by an experienced doctor. 

How Much Does It Cost?

The P-Shot procedure at our clinic in Kent takes about 45 minutes to an hour. You can return to your daily routine immediately and can even resume sexual intercourse on the very same day. In some cases, the results are immediate, but they may take up to 3-4 weeks to be fully noticed.

Treatment starts from £995, and we have a range of finance options available to make treatments as manageable as possible.
