Treatment:
The PRP-Shot works by taking a small amount of the patient’s blood and separating out the platelets, monocytes, and growth factors that will be used to stimulate stem cells and growth factors that lead to the regeneration of penile tissue. This takes about 20 minutes.
The area is numbed using anaesthetic cream and the concentrated PRP is re-injected into the areas of the penis that are most important for blood flow and sensitivity. Our experienced doctors ensure the process is quite comfortable and takes only 10 minutes.
You will experience a mild inflammation and swelling during treatment, which is what we want to see, but this will subside within 24-48 hours. To reduce the chance of bruising, you should avoid Fish Oils, blood thinning medications and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAID’s) such as Nurofen and Voltaren in the week leading up to your PRP-Shot session.
Post-Treatment:
After PRP-Shot the treated area may be swollen for up to 24-48 hours but should settle down as the body resorbs the fluid. If swelling does not subside within 48 hours, please contact our clinic. You may also experience spot bruising and tenderness at the injection site, which is normal.
Keep the area clean for one week and avoid sexual activity and strenuous exercise for 3 days. Post treatment care instructions will be supplied and you should follow these carefully.
