Offered only Dr Zaki a trained and certified P-Shot® provider, the Priapus Shot® uses a patient’s own platelet-derived growth factors (commonly referred to as Platelet-Rich Plasma) to stimulate local tissue healing, growth, and blood flow.
Comfort is paramount in this procedure, which uses numbing cream and a nerve block to eliminate pain. Since this procedure uses your own blood, it begins with a small draw from your arm. Your platelets are then specifically isolated, concentrated, and prepped for the precise injection sites. Once complete, the growth factors get to work, offering almost immediate results with zero downtime.
Who is this best for?
Men ages 35 to 70 who experience sexual dysfunction, dissatisfaction, or discomfort with erections (Peyronie’s disease) and who wish to eliminate or improve the effects of other therapies.
When Will I Notice A Difference?
Most men report an immediate and significant increase in size, shape, responsiveness, and duration of erections within 6 hours of the procedure and continue to see improvement over the next two to four months as tissues renew and improved blood flow is established. Many also report stronger, more intense orgasms—both for themselves and their partners.
What Are The Risks?
Your specific risks will be discussed with you by your doctor, but in general, this is considered a very low-risk procedure as long as it is done by a certified P-Shot® provider. Done incorrectly, the procedure could cause permanent damage. The specific protocol developed by Dr. Runels eliminates this risk.
Is The Procedure Painful?
Since numbing cream is applied topically before any injections are done and the nerve block is done with a very tiny needle after numbing cream, most patients report minimal to no pain during the entire procedure. Most of the discomfort of this procedure is psychological, a normal response to exposing and working on intimate tissues in a medical setting. (We are highly sensitive to this sensitive situation, and do everything we can to make sure you are comfortable throughout the experience).
How will I feel immediately following the procedure?
Most patients report feeling completely normal—and a little excited to try everything out. There is no post-procedure pain. With injections, there is always a small chance of bruising. Even when this rarely occurs, its effect is minimal and quick to heal.
Is It FDA Approved?
The FDA oversees devices and medications, it does not govern your own body’s tissues nor does it oversee the practice of medicine. All of our kits, devices, and medications are FDA approved.
Are there some conditions that make the P-Shot® less effective?
The P-Shot® will likely be less effective in men with long-standing erectile dysfunction from diabetes, men who are unable to get an erection at all (not even morning erections), and men who have ED caused by necessary heart medications. That said, “less effective” means different things to different people; actual results will vary and can be discussed with your certified P-Shot® provider at the time of your evaluation.
