A: You should not need to reschedule your treatment due to allergies. Platelet-derived therapies like PRP have not shown minimized results due to allergies or allergy-related inflammation. Platelet-rich plasma, for example, works by promoting natural healing processes that reform collagen and skin cells—and these processes are not minimized by your body’s other natural allergy symptoms. In fact, in some cases, PRP can actually help to reduce inflammation by promoting the healing of tissues.

We hope this helps.

A: Depending on your particular diagnosis and other health factors, yes PRP and GainsWave can be combined through a tailored treatment to maximize healing results. However, which treatment is safest and most effective varies from patient to patient. For example, we typically do not recommend Gainswave for patients with a penile implant, advanced heart disease, or active prostate cancer, and we recommend Gainswave, rather than PRP, for patients with some bleeding disorders. If you are a candidate for both treatments though, and could also benefit from both technologies, these therapies can certainly complement each other for excellent results.

On a similar note, if your particular ED symptoms and goals align with Gainswave therapy, it can be a highly effective treatment on its own. By stimulating the body’s healing response, Gainswave helps to form new tissue and blood vessels for improved blood flow and function. As one of the longest lasting treatments for ED, results can last up to 3 years.

A: It’s true that GainsWave typically requires several sessions before you see optimal results, but those results do last—in fact, it’s one of the longest lasting ED treatments available. Every patient responds differently to treatment, so the immediacy of results and the number of sessions needed varies. Most patients require 6–12 treatment sessions to achieve the results they want, and some start seeing the effects after just 1 or 2 sessions. Once your treatment is complete, results can last up to 3 years.
