P Shot vs Shockwave Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction – Which Works Best?

Why This Comparison Matters

Men often search for the best non surgical erectile dysfunction treatment that actually delivers lasting results. Two of the most frequently compared options are the P Shot (PRP therapy) and Shockwave Therapy. Although both treatments aim to support erectile function, the science behind them – and the results they offer – are very different.

Why Choose Elite Aesthetics

Every ED patient at Elite Aesthetics is treated exclusively by Dr Shirin and her medical team. We use an FDA-approved centrifuge configured to Dr Shirin’s exact specifications, uniquely designed to produce exceptionally high-quality PRP. No other clinic has this configuration.

Our ED pathways combine:

This multi-layered approach consistently outperforms standalone treatment methods such as Shockwave.

Understanding the P Shot (PRP Therapy)

The P Shot uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to repair erectile tissue, restore nerve function and enhance sensitivity.

How the P Shot Works

  • Blood is drawn and processed in our exclusive FDA-approved centrifuge
  • Platelets are isolated and prepared at high therapeutic concentration
  • Injected precisely into key anatomical areas to stimulate regeneration

Benefits of the P Shot

  • Stronger, firmer erections
  • Increased sensitivity
  • Enhanced blood flow
  • Support for Peyronie’s disease
  • Long-lasting results (12–18 months)

The P Shot is a core element within the non-surgical erectile dysfunction treatments we offer because of its regenerative power and consistency.

Understanding Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is widely advertised and uses acoustic waves to stimulate microcirculation. While non-invasive, its benefits are typically modest compared to PRP.

Limitations of Shockwave

  • Does NOT repair nerve damage
  • Does NOT regenerate erectile tissue
  • Does NOT improve sensitivity
  • Many devices in the UK are non-medical grade
  • Results can fade within weeks or months

P Shot vs Shockwave – Which Is Better?

Feature P Shot (PRP) Shockwave Therapy
Regenerates erectile tissue ✔ Yes ✘ No
Improves sensitivity ✔ Yes ✘ No
Supports Peyronie’s disease ✔ Yes ✘ Limited
Longevity of results 12–18 months Weeks to months
Pelvic floor synergy ✔ With Emsella ✘ No
Ideal for Most forms of ED Early mild vascular ED

Why P Shot Outperforms Shockwave for Most Men

1. It repairs the root cause

PRP regenerates erectile tissue and nerve pathways. Shockwave does not.

2. It dramatically improves sensitivity

Loss of sensation is one of the most unspoken problems in ED. PRP directly addresses this.

3. It integrates into a complete ED optimisation pathway

Our enhanced results come from combining the P Shot with:

Where Shockwave Can Be Useful

Shockwave may help men with very early vascular ED who want a mild, non-invasive option. However, long-term outcomes are typically superior with PRP-based regenerative therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the P Shot better than Shockwave?

For most men – yes. PRP regenerates tissue and nerves, whereas Shockwave primarily offers temporary circulatory stimulation.

Can I combine the P Shot and Shockwave?

You can, but most patients achieve far better results with P Shot + Emsella + P-Tox.

How long do P Shot results last?

12–18 months on average, often longer with lifestyle optimisation and P-Tox.

Does it hurt?

Most patients report minimal discomfort with our targeted anaesthetic approach.

Read How I Improved My Lichen Sclerosus

Had a consultation with Elite yesterday, I must say I was a bit nervous, but Dr Shirin was so friendly and helpful.
I was given lots of advice and was given treatment options that were within my budget.
A few weeks after the P Shot I've really started to see a difference and have gained my confidence back.

Thank You!

Elite is an outstanding professional clinic with high standard treatments. All the staff members are friendly and offer you honest opinions when it comes to products and treatments. This is a welcoming clinic that I can 100% recommend. Treatments are spoken through and explained in detail, also aftercare. I have been going nearly a year now and am happy with all the treatments I’ve had, wouldn't go anywhere else. The Bocox treatment started to work within a few days, which I was surprised about. So glad I went to Elite for treatment.

 

HV

Thank you Dr Shirin, the O Shot has really helped me with my Lichen Sclerosus. I'd heard about the treatment on the LS Facebook Groups and message a few people that had treatment with Dr Shirin. I was like many in the group who had run out of treatment options and using creams on a daily basis. I have to say a few months after treatment, I can see a real positive change and I'm hoping my LS will continue to improve. Dr Shirin did say that I might have to have a second treatment given how severe my case is.
