Yes! LISWT is an FDA-approved treatment option for ED and Peyronie’s Disease. It is also non-invasive, drug-free, and is not known to cause any side effects. The acoustic waves during treatment are low energy and carefully targeted; therefore, they do not damage tissue. Instead, they stimulate healing and improve blood flow. Most patients report little to no discomfort during treatment, and there’s no downtime required afterward.

ED is the consistent difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for sexual activity. It’s a common condition that affects millions of men, especially as they age; however, it can affect men of all ages and can be caused by a range of physical or psychological factors. While typical medications may work for a lot of men, they don’t address the root cause and aren’t effective for everyone.

If you’ve tried medication and it hasn’t worked for you, LISWT may be a promising alternative. Dr. Hirshberg can help determine if you’re a good candidate for this treatment option!

Peyronie’s disease is a condition in which fibrous scar tissue – called plaque – develops inside the penis, causing it to bend or curve during erections. This curvature can range from mild to severe and may be painful or make sexual activity difficult. While it’s normal for the penis to have some natural curvature, Peyronie’s disease involves a noticeable and sometimes worsening bend due to the buildup of this scar tissue. While the exact cause isn’t known, it can often be linked to trauma or injury to the penis.

LISWT targets the plaque, breaking it down and reducing inflammation, promoting improved blood flow, and the formation of new blood vessels, which can enhance tissue flexibility and reduce penile pain.

A good candidate for LISWT is someone with mild to moderate ED, and men who haven’t had success with typical medication or other treatment options. It may also be suitable for men with early signs of ED who want to take proactive steps toward restoring natural erectile function, men with penile shrinkage, or men who want firmer erections. However, a consultation with Dr. Hirshberg is the best first step in determining if you’re a good candidate for this treatment.

One of the best things about this treatment is the convenience it offers even the busiest of patients. Erectile dysfunction treatment sessions typically involve Six 20-minute sessions twice a week for 3 weeks. Peyronie's Disease treatment sessions typically involve 10, 15-minute sessions twice a week for 5 weeks. Many patients report a noticeable difference in their ability to achieve an erection within a few weeks!
