PRP is made from your own blood. As with any procedure that uses platelet rich plasma, the ED Shot begins with the drawing of a small amount of blood. We usually only need about as much blood as you would give for a simple blood test. Using a specialized centrifuge, we will separate stem cells and growth factors from the white and red blood cells. This leaves us with platelet rich plasma (PRP), which is super-concentrated and has healing properties. PRP is the basis for the ED Shot, and similarly to stem cell therapy, it uses the healing power of cells to enhance your sexual performance. The PRP is loaded into a short, fine needle. Injections are then made in the parts of the penis that are most important to sexual arousal and erectile function. A local anesthetic is applied before the injections are made to ensure that procedure is pain-free.
