Question 1

Can I benefit from GAINSWave Therapy even if I don’t have ED?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. This safe and effective treatment can improve erections, increase sensitivity and pleasure, and enhance sexual performance in healthy men, as well as effectively improving symptoms in men with ED and PD.

Question 2

Does GAINSWave really work?

Accepted Answer

GAINSWave therapy has been clinically proven to enhance and improve male sexual function, performance, and overall sexual health. GAINSWave is the only non-invasive procedure that actually treats the root cause of ED by breaking down micro-plaque buildup in the penis that leads to clogging of blood vessels. GAINSWave delivers high-frequency, low-intensity sonic waves directly to the penis, breaking up microscopic deposits of cholesterol and calcification that clog blood vessels as a consequence of aging, poor diet, certain medical conditions, medications, and/or hereditary factors. GAINSWave treatment also releases human growth factors that stimulate the formation of new blood vessels, leading to further increase in blood flow and stronger erections. The number of treatments required will vary between individuals, although the basic GAINSWave protocol usually consists of six to 12 treatments. Each treatment typically lasts 15 minutes and treatments may be administered twice weekly.

Question 3

How many treatments are required?

Accepted Answer

Since each patient is unique, the length of treatment and number of treatment sessions will naturally vary between patients, and Dr. Bachillo will help you determine the optimal number of treatment sessions for you. Depending on the extent of your condition, as well as your goals, you may require anywhere from 6 – 12 treatment sessions in order to fully restore regular, healthy sexual function.

Question 4

Are there any side effects from shock wave therapy?

Accepted Answer

ESWT is a safe, noninvasive treatment with minor side effects limited to mild bruising, swelling, and possibly a tingling sensation, pain, or numbness in the treated area immediately following treatment. Recovery from ESWT is minimal, and most patients take a day or two to rest before getting back to normal daily activities.

Question 5

Is there a GAINSWave treatment for women?

Accepted Answer

GAINSWave therapy may benefit women suffering from decreased libido or sexual appetite, and those with difficulty in achieving orgasm. GAINSWave therapy eliminates buildup of micro plaque in the blood vessels and stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, improving the flow of blood to the vaginal region. Improved blood flow helps to regenerate nervous tissue, enhances clitoral sensation, improves vaginal lubrication, and increases the intensity of orgasm in women.

Question 6

Can GAINSWave be combined with other treatments?

Accepted Answer

At Glamour Plastic Surgery, many of our patients choose to undergo GAINSWave Therapy in combination with the Priapus Shot (P-Shot), a unique treatment that involves injecting platelet rich plasma (PRP) from the patient's own body directly into the penis to rejuvenate damaged and aged tissue and restore normal erection and sexual function. The P-Shot is administered with a topical anesthetic so you will not feel any discomfort. Together, these two treatments naturally enhance virility and male sexual function without side effects or downtime, while also avoiding the use of drugs and surgery.

Question 7

Is shock wave therapy approved by the FDA to treat ED?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GAINSWave uses an FDA-approved low-density extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) device to effectively treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED).

Question 8

Is GAINSWave FDA-approved?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GAINSWave uses the only FDA-cleared device currently available to treat erectile dysfunction with ESWT, with treatments performed by trained medical providers. GAINSWave is ideal for men who suffer from conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, or diabetes, that contribute to ED, but which make it impossible to use oral ED medications. It is also ideal for men who have tried ED drugs but have not been satisfied with the results.

Question 9

What is the average cost of GAINSWave treatment in Houston TX?

Accepted Answer

The price of GAINSWave shock wave therapy will naturally vary between patients, depending on how many treatment sessions are required. Weekly or biweekly treatment sessions may be recommended for six to 12 weeks, with the average treatment session costing about $3,000.

Question 10

How long has GAINSWave technology been around?

Accepted Answer

While GAINSWave Therapy is a relatively new treatment modality in the United States, this system has been used widely and with great success in Europe to treat Erectile Dysfunction and Peyronie’s Disease for over 15 years.

Question 11

Can GAINSWave therapy be applied for treating Peyronie's disease?

Accepted Answer

In several clinical studies, ESWT has been proven effective in treating Peyronie's Disease, a condition in which fibrous scar tissue develops beneath the skin’s surface on the penis, producing curved and painful erections. GAINSWave therapy is non-invasive, safe, and painless for most men.

Question 12

Will I need to use a pump after GAINSwave?

Accepted Answer

GAINSwave therapy eliminates the need for a pump as well as the use of oral ED medications such as Viagra or Cialis in order to achieve a strong, healthy erection. GAINSWave results may last as long as 2 years, and regular follow-up sessions may be scheduled in order to maintain optimal results.
