What is PRP?PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a blood product that contains healing growth factors to stimulate cellular renewal and tissue repair. Plasma is the main liquid in the bloodstream that carries the cells through the body. Platelets are a certain type of cell that plays a major role in regeneration. It is called platelet-rich plasma because the treatment contains a high percentage of these super-healer platelet cells. Show
How is PRP made?PRP is easy to procure, as it is taken from the patient’s own body (autologous extraction) during a simple in-office procedure. Your arm is attached to a centrifuge that draws your blood and spins it to separate out the components according to their density. The machine isolates the platelets and plasma, readying them for cosmetic use. The red and white blood cells are then returned to the body so that you don’t feel dizzy or disoriented. The PRP extraction process takes around 15-20 minutes on average and is considered by most patients to be painless. How did the P-Shot get its name?The P-Shot is short for Priapus Shot. Dr. Charles Runels named it after using the therapy for the first time on himself. Priapus was the Greek god of regeneration and male virility. Is the P-Shot similar to Trimix injections?Where Trimix injections work in the short term to boost your erection on a case-by-case basis, the P-Shot works with your body over time to regenerate your sexual power. Because the P-Shot is made with compounds derived from your own blood, there is little risk of allergic reaction or side effects. How does the P-Shot work?The P-Shot is administered with a numbing cream as well as a nerve block, so the treatment is virtually painless. Growth factors and proteins within the PRP begin working right away to stimulate cellular renewal, triggering stem cells to initiate regeneration. Collagen production is also ramped up to assist in tissue repair. How long does it take to perform the P-Shot?The P-Shot is an in-office procedure that takes around one hour to perform. You will be able to drive yourself home right away after your session. When can I resume sexual activity after the P-Shot?With the P-Shot, you don’t have to wait to enjoy sex. You can resume sexual activities right away, typically within 4 hours after your session. What are the potential side effects of the P-Shot?PRP is a blood product taken from your own body, so side effects are greatly minimized. Minor symptoms such as bleeding, bruising, or swelling may occur, but these generally fade quickly. How much does the P-Shot cost?The P-Shot is a cost-effective option for male enhancement when compared with the alternatives. With the P-Shot, patients don’t have to shell out money on repetitive prescriptions that only achieve short-term gains. And when compared with a penile implant, the P-Shot is far more affordable. Results with the P-Shot tend to last a year or more, making it among the most practical treatments of its kind on the market today.

Find more doctors & other providersProceduresLocationWhen I first started doing cosmetic procedures using Juvederm and Restylane to sculpt the face, it occurred to me that it would be wonderful to do the same thing for the penis. If you can inject the mouth to give it a larger & younger shape, then why should you not be able to do the same thing with the penis? {Important Note: The Priapus Shot® procedure does not work well in smokers for the same reason that a plastic surgeon would never do a facelift or breast implants on a smoker--the poisons in the cigarettes will kill the growth of the stem cells that are recruited and fertilized by the PRP. But, do not give up! Simply go here first and stop smoking--the easiest way possible} Since 2006, published research showed that hyaluronic acid fillers, like Restylane formed new and permanent collagen (the filler goes away but is partially replaced by new tissue). So, I became even more interested and considered injecting my own penis with Restylane.
