Shockwave therapy, or its longer name of low intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LI-ESWT), is an innovative, non-invasive, hands-free technology that treats the ‘source’ of erectile dysfunction with no known side-effects. Li-ESWT encourages the male organ to rejuvenate & build new blood vessels (The process is called angiogenesis) with reparative changes to the penile area.
Shockwave therapy uses quick, low density shockwaves, known as linear shockwave therapy (LSWT), in four different areas of the groin and penis. The purpose is to increase the blood supply that generates an erection, therefore reversing the effects of ageing and vascular deterioration. The treatment is non- invasive, pain-free, requires no analgesia and comes with no downtime.
Li-ESWT is unique in that it targets the underlying causes of erectile dysfunction (ED), especially of the vasculogenic type. Men whose ED is induced by diabetes or cardiovascular problems do respond well to the Shockwave treatment.
Studies have shown that Li-ESWT is an effective and successful procedure in treating up to 84% of men . One particular study showed that almost 50 percent of men being treated were able to perform sexually without any medications in the first 2 months following completion of shockwave treatment.
Low Intensity Shockwave Therapy (LISWT) is a proven soundwave technology that focuses sound waves onto a linear segment on the target area, called vigore. Other shockwave devices apply low-density sound waves in a focal rather than a linear way. Both devices are non-invasive and have the same kind of effect and success rate. The purpose is to cause controlled micro- injury at the cellular level that stimulates the body to regenerate new blood vessels.
LI-ESWT has angiogenetic properties and is therefore used in the management of Erectile Dysfunction, intractable wound healing, peripheral neuropathy, and in cardiac neovascularization. ESWT using powerful acoustic pulses has been mostly used circa 1970 to treat kidney/biliary stones and in physiotherapy for sportive injuries. It promotes bone and ligaments healing and wound healing It is also used to treat diabetic patients with foot ulcers.
Shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction harnesses the power of low-intensity sound waves to stimulate natural healing processes within the penile tissue. This advanced, non-invasive treatment works in the following ways:
Increases Blood Flow: By triggering angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), shockwave therapy enhances circulation, which is crucial for sustaining erections.
Stimulates Tissue Regeneration: The controlled microtrauma encourages the body’s natural healing mechanisms, rejuvenating erectile tissue and improving function.
Breaks Down Microplaques: It helps clear microplaques from blood vessels, reducing blockages and restoring healthy circulation.
Enhances Nerve Function: Shockwave therapy has been shown to support nerve regeneration, further contributing to improved erectile function.
Most patients begin to notice improvements within the first few weeks, with continued progress over time as the body heals and regenerates new blood vessels.
Shockwave therapy is a straightforward, non-invasive procedure that requires no downtime. Here’s what you can expect:
Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your condition and determine the suitability of the treatment for you.
Treatment Sessions: The procedure is performed in a comfortable clinic setting, with each session lasting approximately 20–30 minutes. The device emits sound waves to targeted areas to stimulate healing.
Post-Treatment Care: No recovery time is needed, allowing you to resume daily activities immediately.
Gradual Improvement: While some men notice immediate effects, optimal results typically emerge after completing the full course of sessions.

LiSWT is a medical technology that has been used in healthcare for several decades, including applications related to wound healing and musculoskeletal conditions. Since the 1980s, its use has also been explored in other medical areas, including erectile dysfunction and diabetic foot ulcers.
Is shockwave therapy painful? Are there any side effects?
Shockwave therapy is non-invasive and is generally well tolerated. Most patients report little to no discomfort during treatment. Side effects are uncommon, and when they occur, they are typically mild and temporary.
Shockwave therapy works by stimulating biological responses within the penile tissue. These responses are associated with angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, and tissue repair processes. These changes are linked to improved blood flow within the treated area.
The body responds by increasing cellular activity and blood circulation in the treated tissue. These responses are associated with:
Angiogenesis, which supports improved blood flow.
Improved function of the smooth muscle and endothelium within the penile tissue.
In some clinical studies, improvements in nerve function have been observed in patients with nerve-related erectile dysfunction, including cases associated with diabetes or prostate surgery.
A typical treatment course involves a minimum of six sessions. The exact number of sessions is tailored to the individual based on clinical assessment and the severity of erectile dysfunction. Each session usually lasts around 15 to 20 minutes.
Some patients report changes within 4 to 6 weeks after starting treatment. Improvements may continue to develop over several months following completion of the treatment course.
Reported duration of benefit varies between individuals. Clinical observations suggest that treatment benefits may last up to 12 months in some patients.
