What is the P-Shot?

Priapus Shot®: A SPECIFIC Method, protected by the US Patent & Trademark Office, of using blood-derived growth factors to rejuvenate the penis (also known as the P-Shot®).   It was named after the Greek god Priapus, the god of male regenerative power and sexual health.

The Priapus Shot®, or P-Shot®, is a procedure designed to deliver lasting improvements in sexual performance to men. This natural and effective procedure has been shown to be perfect for those who are having sexual dysfunction disorders due to health concerns such as an enlarged prostate, prostate cancer, surgical side effects, drug side effects, and other health ailments such as diabetes. Unlike other erectile dysfunction treatments, the P-Shot® delivers long-lasting results that cannot be achieved through simple pills, creams, or other surgical or chemical procedures.

Before this, the P shot was used for wound healing, dentistry, and some sports injuries due to its cellular regeneration and healing properties.

But now, it is used for aesthetic purposes and tissue regeneration and to enhance sexual function from the blood platelets (which are usually drawn from the arm) that heal wounds and regenerate tissues when we are injured.

It can also (though sometimes) relieve some symptoms of Peyronie’s disease, which includes decreased penile pain during erections. Peyronie’s disease is usually more common in athletic men. Scar tissue forms around the penis due to injuries that did not heal properly. These injuries can also occur during sex. Peyronie’s disease, however does not have any cure, and P shots are only for relieving the symptoms.

Most of the time, the patient does not need to abstain from sexual activities right after the treatment but asking your doctor is advised.

What to Expect from a P-Shot Procedure?

During the P-Shot® procedure, the doctor or nurse begins by applying numbing cream to the penis. Blood is then drawn from the arm in the same way as a traditional blood test. Using a special centrifuge and method, the growth factors are extracted from your blood and concentrated into the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).

Platelet Rich Plasma contains many growth factors and healing properties that stimulate stem cells to regenerate tissue and increase blood flow. The resulting benefits include an increased growth of new blood vessels and increased circulation in the penis. Other benefits include stronger erections, increased sensation and pleasure and enhanced sexual performance. Some men have even reported changes in girth and length of the penis.

Once the PRP is centrifuged, using a very thin needle, the growth and healing factors are then injected into very specific areas of the penis that are most important for sexual response. Because this area has been numbed with anesthetic cream, the patient feels little to no pain. Many of the procedures benefits have been experienced immediately following the procedure. The effects of the P-Shot® continue to improve for up to 3 months and may last anywhere from 12-18 months.

What You Should Do After Treatment

After your treatment, you will need to follow several instructions to maximize the effectiveness of the Priapus shot. It is our recommendation that patients should drink plenty of water after the procedure and stay away from extreme heat or perspiration.

You’re also advised to cleanse the treatment area using water and mild soap. Additionally, you should choose comfortable cotton for clothing. To prevent potential harm to penile tissues, it is best to refrain from engaging in sexual activity until bruising or swelling minimizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Platelets and other components in human blood migrate to a site of injury. Platelets are known to release a variety of growth factors that respond to tissue injury, where they initiate and promote healing. By concentrating platelets at the site of injury, physicians have the potential to enhance the body’s natural capacity for healing. We use the SELPHYL system to create our PRP, which provides the highest quality PRP called a Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix.

  • 20cc of your blood is obtained with a small Butterfly needle. The blood is then placed into 2 patented SELPHYL tubes which have a gel gradient that separates out the white and red blood cells from the plasma, this is then spun for 6 minutes in a centrifuge. The PRP is then created and should have the color of straw. Your PRP is then placed in another tube which contains Calcium Chloride that activates the healing cascade. 20cc of blood typically yields about 10cc of PRP.

  • We use a very potent numbing cream with a combination of Benzocaine. Lidocaine and Tetracaine. You may choose to have a penile block where Lidocaine is injected into the nerves at the base of the penis with a very fine needle which results in complete numbness. Most patient’s experience only mild discomfort. We can also prescribe some relaxing medication (Valium) if you feel you may need it. You will need someone to drive you if you opt for some valium.

  • The numbing with the cream takes about 25 minutes. The actual injection of the PRP takes 10-15 minutes. Following the PRP injections, you will receive a round of GAINSWAVE therapy to disperse the PRP, this takes about 25 minutes. Plan for at least an hour to an hour and a half for the total process to happen.

  • There are no restrictions after the procedures.

  • You may experience some mild redness, bruising and or/soreness. This can last 4-6 days.

  • No, the P-Shot is considered to be a cosmetic procedure.

  • The P-Shot complements the GAINSWAVE shock wave therapy we offer, and we recommend optimization of your testosterone level for optimal results.

  • No, because we are using your own blood and therefore you cannot have an allergic reaction to it.

  • Early responders can see results in 24 hours, late responders may take 3-4 months.

  • The P-Shot usually lasts about 12-18 months. Repeat P-Shots are typically done after 12 months.
