How The P Shot Works:
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy — The P Shot uses your own platelet-rich plasma, injected into the penis, to stimulate tissue regeneration, improve blood flow, and encourage collagen remodeling. This enhances healing, sensitivity, and function over time.
Expected Priapus Shot Results:
Most men experience improved sensation on the penis immediately following the P Shot. Additionally, collagen remodeling will continue for up to six months to deliver benefits that can include:
Lasting Improvements in Sexual Performance
A Larger, Stronger, and Straighter Penis
Firmer, More Frequent Erections
Increased Circulation for a Healthier Penis
Increased Sensation and Pleasure
Enhancement of the Results of Viagra or Cialis
May Correct Damage from Diabetes
Improved Erectile Function in Cases of Injury or Trauma
Enhanced Tissue Health and Skin Quality
Treatment Recommendations:
Initial Treatment — One treatment is recommended to start.
Re-Evaluation — Re-evaluation is recommended after several months. Results may vary.
Maintenance — Some men require yearly maintenance of the procedure.
