If you're considering the GAINSWave procedure for erectile dysfunction or to improve sexual performance, you're likely curious about what to expect. GAINSWave therapy utilizes low-intensity shockwave therapy to improve blood flow to the penis, helping men achieve stronger and longer-lasting erections. Here are six things to know about your GAINSWave procedure.
1. What is GAINSWave?
GAINSWave is a non-invasive treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) and male enhancement. Unlike traditional methods such as pills or injections, GAINSWave utilizes low-intensity shockwave therapy to improve blood flow and stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in the penis. This results in stronger, longer-lasting erections and improved sexual performance.
2. How does GAINSWave work?
GAINSWave operates through low-intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT), using acoustic waves to stimulate cellular signaling pathways within penile tissue. These waves induce microtrauma at the cellular level, triggering a cascade of biological responses. Specifically, LiSWT enhances the release of angiogenic factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), which promote the formation of new blood vessels.
Moreover, GAINSWave therapy stimulates the production of nitric oxide (NO), a key signaling molecule involved in penile erection. NO relaxes smooth muscle cells and dilates blood vessels, facilitating the flow of blood into the erectile tissue and promoting firmer, longer-lasting erections. By enhancing blood circulation and tissue regeneration, GAINSWave restores erectile function and revitalizes sexual performance naturally.
3. Is GAINSWave safe?
GAINSWave is a safe and FDA-approved treatment for erectile dysfunction. It is non-invasive, virtually painless, and requires no downtime, making it an ideal option for men seeking a discreet solution to their sexual health concerns. Additionally, GAINSWave has been extensively studied and shown to have a high success rate in improving erectile function.
4. What to expect during your GAINSWave treatment?
Your GAINSWave treatment will take place in the comfort of our office and can be completed in as little as 20-30 minutes. Before beginning the procedure, your provider will apply a numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Once the area is numb, the handheld device will be applied to the penis, delivering the shockwave therapy in a controlled manner. While you may experience mild tingling or warmth during the procedure, most patients report minimal discomfort.
5. What results can you expect from GAINSWave?
Many men experience significant improvements in erectile function and sexual performance after just a few sessions of GAINSWave therapy. These improvements typically continue to develop over the following weeks as the body's natural healing processes take effect. You can expect to enjoy stronger, more sustainable erections, increased sensitivity, and enhanced sexual pleasure. Additionally, some men report improvements in overall penile health and sensation, leading to greater confidence in their intimate relationships.
GAINSWave therapy offers a range of potential benefits beyond just treating erectile dysfunction. Some of the advantages include:
- Improved erectile function and performance
- Enhanced sensitivity and pleasure
- Increased sexual spontaneity
- Potential improvement in Peyronie's disease symptoms
- Long-lasting results with no downtime
6. How long do the results of GAINSWave last?
The results of GAINSWave are long-lasting, with many patients experiencing benefits for up to two years or more following their treatment. However, individual results may vary depending on factors such as age, overall health, and lifestyle habits. To optimize and maintain your results, we may recommend periodic maintenance sessions as part of your personalized treatment plan. Additionally, adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management can further support the results of GAINSWave therapy.
You can also implement these lifestyle changes to maintain the results of GAINSWave:
- Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration is essential for maintaining optimal blood flow, which is crucial for sustaining the results of GAINSWave therapy.
- Follow a Healthy Diet: Incorporate foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, to support penile function.
- Exercise Regularly: Engage in aerobic exercises, strength training, and pelvic floor exercises to promote cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, and pelvic floor health.
- Manage Stress: Practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, or mindfulness to alleviate stress, which can negatively affect sexual health.
- Limit Alcohol and Tobacco: Limit alcohol and smoking because these habits can impair vascular function, cause erectile issues, and reduce the effectiveness of GAINSWave.
GAINSWave is a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment for men seeking to improve their sexual health and performance.
