P-Shot in Marlboro, NJ

The P-Shot is an experimental new treatment that involves injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from a patient's own blood into the penis. 

This non-surgical procedure aims to help men improve erectile function and potentially enhance sexual performance. At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics in Marlboro, NJ, Dr. Lanna Cheuck provides P-Shot treatments to address erectile dysfunction and support men's intimate health goals.

What Exactly is the P-Shot and How Does it Work?

The P-Shot procedure first involves drawing a small blood sample from the patient's arm. This blood is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP containing concentrated growth factors. The PRP is then carefully injected into areas of the penis such as the shaft and head.

The PRP injections are thought to promote tissue growth, improve blood flow, and stimulate nerve sensation. This may strengthen erections, make them more readily available, reduce refractory period between erections, and potentially enhance size to some degree.

What are the Potential Benefits of the P-Shot?

While individual results can vary, some patients have reported benefits including:

• Improved ability to attain and sustain an erection
• Firmer, stronger erections
• Better sensation and intensity of orgasms
• Shortened recovery time between erections
• Some increase in girth when erect

It's important to have realistic expectations when considering the P-Shot. Dr. Lanna will discuss everything you need to know about its efficacy and safety. Careful screening should identify appropriate candidates.

How is the P-Shot Procedure Performed?

Receiving the P-Shot is a brief in-office procedure:

• A blood sample is drawn from your arm.
• Your blood is spun to isolate the PRP.
• A numbing cream is applied to the penis.
• Using a very fine needle, the PRP is injected into specific areas.
• The process takes less than 10 minutes.
• You can resume normal activities afterwards.

Mild swelling, bruising or discomfort may occur temporarily before resolving. Always follow Dr. Cheuck's post-procedure instructions carefully.

Does the P-Shot Hurt?

The P-Shot procedure should not be significantly painful. Prior to the injections, a topical numbing cream is applied to the penis to minimize any discomfort. Patients may feel some mild pinching or pressure during the injections, but these sensations typically dissipate quickly. The numbing cream keeps most patients comfortable throughout the brief procedure.

After the P-Shot, some residual soreness, bruising or swelling can occur, but this is temporary and normally subsides within a few days. Using over-the-counter pain medication can further alleviate post-procedure discomfort. Overall, most patients tolerate the P-Shot well with only minimal and transient pain. Being sure to follow Dr. Cheuck's aftercare instructions can aid healing and recovery.

How Long Do the Effects of the P-Shot Last?

Results from the P-Shot are not instantaneous or permanent. Patients may start noticing subtle improvements around 3-4 weeks after treatment as the PRP stimulates cellular changes in the penile tissue. However, the full effects take time to develop and progressively increase over the following weeks and months.

On average, most patients can expect to see benefits last approximately 6 months after receiving the P-Shot. However, there is individual variability in longevity of effects. Some patients may only have improvements for 1-2 months, while others retain enhanced sexual function for up to 1 year.

To sustain results, maintenance P-Shot treatments every 6-12 months are typically needed. Ongoing effects depend on many factors including age, health status, and severity of original erectile dysfunction. Discuss your unique situation with Dr. Cheuck.

How Many P-Shot Treatments Are Needed?

Most patients require a series of 2-3 P-Shot treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal improvements in erectile function and sexual performance. After the initial set of injections, occasional maintenance treatments may be recommended every 6-12 months to retain benefits.

Some patients notice improvements after just one P-Shot session, but more commonly it takes 2-3 treatments for full effects. Men with mild ED may see changes sooner than those with more long-standing or severe dysfunction. The number of shots needed varies case-by-case based on individual factors.

During your consultation at Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, Dr. Cheuck will evaluate your unique needs and recommend an appropriate P-Shot regimen for you.
