“Hello, everyone. I’m Dr. Chu Hsin Cheng, a specialist in male enhancement, here to help men get a bigger, firmer penis.”
Today, I’m not talking about surgery or needles. I want to tell you about this legendary treatment that “doesn’t require medication, doesn’t cause bleeding, and can help you get hard.”
Your erection’s new best friend—the low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy for the penis (LI-ESWT)
👉Today, let’s explain what shock wave therapy is.
Why can it turn a “soft banana into a steel pipe”?
What Is Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (LI-ESWT)?
Low-intensity shock wave therapy uses a machine to deliver “tiny shock waves” to the erectile tissue of the penis, stimulating the growth of new blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the penis. Sound too scientific?
Simply put, it helps your penis get “better blood flow, hard faster, and stay firm longer.”
Shock wave therapy is noninvasive. There are no injections, surgery, or medication, and it doesn’t hurt. You’ll only feel a light tapping sensation; some people can even lie back and scroll on their phones during treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Does shock wave therapy hurt? Could it shake my penis to pieces?
A: It doesn’t hurt, so relax! This isn’t electrotherapy, a barbecue, or alien technology. Low-intensity shock wave therapy feels like “someone gently flicking you with a finger.” Some people may feel a little ticklish, but it doesn’t hurt, and you can still go on a date afterward.
Q2: Will I be more potent after just one session? How long does a session take? How many sessions do I need?
A: No one becomes a hard-bodied tough guy overnight. Treatment usually takes 3–6 weeks. A typical course is 1–2 sessions per week, with 6–12 sessions in total per cycle. Each session takes about 10–15 minutes, so it’s quick and convenient. Some people notice a difference after 3–4 sessions, but most need to complete the full course for lasting results. It’s like working out—you don’t build muscle the day after your first weight-training session.
Q3: Will it affect fertility or ejaculation?
A: It won’t affect them at all—and things might even go more smoothly. Shock waves target blood flow in the erectile tissue of the penis only; they don’t affect the testicles or vas deferens, and they don’t affect semen quality. In fact, improved firmness and blood flow may help things go more smoothly and feel more exciting in bed.
Q4: Can anyone get shock wave therapy? Are there any contraindications?
A: Most people can, but use caution in the following situations:
●Penile implants (pearling?)
●Taking anticoagulants
●Bleeding disorders such as hemophilia or clotting abnormalities
Q5: How long do the effects of shock wave therapy last? Do I need regular maintenance?
A: The effects usually last six months to a year. After that, you can have follow-up sessions for maintenance. The effects of shock wave therapy may diminish as your lifestyle and physical condition change. If you keep staying up late, smoking, and letting stress get out of control, the results will naturally be reduced too. So be sure to take care of your health after treatment as well.
Q6: I’m already taking erectile dysfunction medication. Do I still need shock wave therapy?
A: If your medication is becoming less effective, it may be time to try shock wave therapy. It can improve blood vessel function, potentially helping medication that wasn’t working well before to “work again,” and may even give you a chance to reduce or stop relying on medication. Combining the two can help you go from “depending on medication” to “getting hard naturally.”
Q7: Can shock wave therapy make my penis bigger?
A: It’s primarily intended to improve function, not to make you bigger. Shock wave therapy won’t directly lengthen or thicken your penis. But because it can improve blood flow and increase blood engorgement in the erectile tissue, some people feel it looks “fuller and firmer,” and therefore bigger. Really want to get bigger? See our clinic’s “Korean-Style Penile Enlargement Surgery.”
Q8: How much does low-intensity shock wave therapy cost?
A: Fees vary by clinic or hospital. Generally, one course includes six shock wave therapy sessions and costs around NT$30,000–45,000.
Q9: How can I maximize the results of low-intensity shock wave therapy?
A: Low-intensity shock wave therapy is a type of regenerative therapy and can be combined with PRP growth factor injections.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma), also known as high-concentration platelet plasma, is a type of regenerative therapy. Your own blood is drawn, and its various growth factors are used in an injection into the erectile tissue to promote the growth and regeneration of blood vessels.
Taking a low dose of Cialis orally alongside treatment can promote blood circulation during erections and may lead to better results!
