Shockwave Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction: What to Expect
Erectile dysfunction (ED) may be a sensitive subject for you and your significant other, but that doesn’t mean it should be ignored. In the right setting, there’s no reason this issue shouldn’t be addressed and corrected when possible. At Resplendent Day Spa in Long Beach, California, we take an innovative, non-invasive approach to treating erectile dysfunction issues through Shockwave Therapy. These FAQs, compiled by our team, explain more about this treatment.
What is shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction?
Shockwave therapy uses sound waves to stimulate blood vessel growth. It’s effective because it addresses the root cause of ED in many patients.
How do I know if I’m a good candidate?
We’ll schedule a consultation to evaluate your condition and determine whether you qualify for this treatment. At this time, we’ll explain more about shockwave therapy for ED so you’ll know what to expect and address any concerns you may have. While shockwave therapy for ED is non-invasive and has minimal side effects, it’s not a suitable option for those who have an infection, open wounds, a penile implant, bleeding disorders, or a vascular disease. Smoking, age, and certain health conditions can impair the effectiveness of your treatment.
How many treatment sessions will I need?
There are generally between six and twelve sessions for shockwave therapy ED treatment, depending on the severity and root cause of your issue. We’ll determine how many sessions you need during your initial consultation. These sessions are typically scheduled a week apart to allow your body time to heal.

Are there negative side effects?
Treatment sessions aren’t painful. Most men feel only a light tingling or tapping during treatment. Mild redness, irritation, soreness, and bruising are common side effects but don’t last for very long. In rare cases, patients may see a small amount of blood in the urine right after treatment.
How long does it take to see positive results?
Men typically feel tangible benefits from shockwave treatment after two to three months. Benefits can last well over a year. Studies show that younger men had longer-lasting results than those who were older and/or battling chronic health conditions like heart disease, hypertension, and high cholesterol. Furthermore, taking oral ED medications along with receiving shockwave therapy prolongs the positive results.
Is shockwave therapy for ED covered by insurance?
At this time, shockwave therapy for ED isn’t covered by health insurance, which means you’ll need to pay the full cost out-of-pocket. That doesn’t necessarily mean, however, that this treatment is out of your financial reach. We offer flexible payment plans and financing to help our patients get the cosmetic and medical services they need to live their best lives.
