What Is PRT (Penis Rejuvenation Therapy)?

At Male Medical of Chicago, one of the treatments we provide is PRT (penis rejuvenation therapy), which is occasionally called EPAT (extracorporeal pulse activation technology) or ESWT (extracorporeal shockwave therapy).

This state-of-the-art treatment uses focused-acoustic shockwave therapy to treat erectile dysfunction and other conditions. It's a noninvasive technology based on an electromagnetic acoustic-ultrasonic principle. The modality produces a gentle, mechanical, yet effective therapeutic pressure shockwave.

Put simply, when introduced into the penis, this shockwave diminishes existing blood vessels, which in turn promotes the body’s neurological response — the creation of new, healthy strong blood vessels, which increases the overall blood flow to the penis. This new blood flow promotes harder and stronger erections, an increased ability to reach erection, and in some cases, added girth.

This is the only device on the market that produces a focused shockwave, which is important because it specifically targets the blood vessels and not the surrounding tissue. Other cheaper and less effective devices can cause unwanted and unnecessary damage to surrounding tissue. This focused energy is what makes this technology so beneficial for patients. This treatment protocol actually addresses the root cause of erectile dysfunction-diminished blood flow and cellular/neurological metabolic decline.

Discover the Benefits of Focused Shockwave PRT

These are the common benefits of focused shockwave PRT:

• Stimulation of anti-inflammatory and regenerative mechanisms and nitric oxide production, which promote blood vessel dilation and increase blood flow
• Recruitment of progenitor stem cells, which are responsible for healthy tissue recreation
• Increased cellular activity by gene expression
• Nerve regeneration, which promotes increased arousal and sexual experience
• Increased local tissue metabolism
• Expression of Substance P (a growth and pain mediator hormone)
• Improvement of cellular tensile stability
• Improvement of cell membrane permeability
• Overall improvement of cellular structure
• Re-absorption of calcium and plaque deposits in the penis and blood vessels
• PRT stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal itself, which means there’s no need for the introduction of foreign drugs and other supplements into the body
• Scientifically proven to increase blood flow to the penis and optimize erection, sensitivity, and sexual performance
