Male Sexual Wellness
Studies have revealed that over 50% of men between the ages of 40 and 70 struggle with sexual changes they consider to be problematic. At New Life Physicians, we believe that these men deserve to know about some of the leading treatment options for sexual dysfunction, including PRP therapy, laser therapy, and dermal filler options.
Male Performance Shot
The Performance Shot utilizes a patient’s own platelet rich plasma (PRP) to improve sexual performance in men who have lost function due to past surgeries, prostate cancer, enlarged prostate, medication they are taking or a variety of other medical conditions such as high blood pressure. This treatment is also beneficial in the treatment of Pyronine’s disease, a condition that causes severe curvature of the penis and painful erections.
Human blood contains a number of growth factors that allow us to heal ourselves after minor wounds have taken place. This includes the platelets that promote healing and rejuvenation. We begin the treatment by drawing a small process of a patient’s blood, then use a proprietary technique to separate the platelets from the rest of the molecules in the blood in order to create a substance known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Once we have a sufficient quantity, the PRP is injected directly into the penis in the areas that are most important to sexual response. Almost every patient who has PRP therapy enjoys significant improvements to their sexual performance. That being said, the results can vary between men.
Some of the most noticeable and common benefits include:
Drastic increase in blood flow and firmer erections
Heightened sexual performance
Improved sensation, pleasure and stamina
Virtually no allergic reactions due to the use of the patient’s own growth factors
Quick, painless and affordable procedure with almost no downtime
May enhance length, girth, and appearance of the penis
ED Lase
Often with aging men can not only experiencing changes in erectile function but in sensitivity as well. Using laser technology, we increase the temperature to the penile tissue causing a mild hyperthermia and inducing regeneration of collagen, improved tissue elasticity, improved vascularity and increase sensitivity. The increase in temperature helps with dilation of the vessels and increasing blood flow to the area. This increase blood flow acts like penile exercise to penile vessels aiding in improved erections. This increase in blood flow also increase the oxygen, red and white cells to the area to repair cell and tissue damage. This treatment can also be an adjunctive therapy to the PRP Men’s Performance Injection.
New Life Girth Enhancement
Girth Enhancement is a minimally invasive not surgical treatment that is designed to increase girth to the penile shaft. This is an ideal treatment for men who are self-conscious about the width or girth of their penis and are looking for realistic results. During the treatment the area is numbed and Dr Kensington will inject hyaluronic acid dermal filler into the penile shaft. Though there may be minimal side effects, such as some slight discomfort, bruising or inflammation in the area of treatment, this is generally mild. There is little to no downtime and sexual activity can resume in as little as 1 week. For optimal results this treatment is performed over a series of sessions.
PRP Therapy For Men FAQs

Once we have a sufficient quantity, the PRP is injected directly into the penis in the areas that are most important to sexual response. By numbing these areas with a powerful local anesthetic, most patients feel little or no discomfort during the procedure.

Human blood contains a number of growth factors that allow us to heal ourselves after minor wounds have taken place. This includes the platelets that promote healing and rejuvenation. By concentrating the platelets into PRP and then injecting it into a patient, the results can be astounding. After the tissue and vessels have been given time to grow and rejuvenate, most patients report firmer erections, improved sexual performance and increased sensation. As an added benefit, many of these side effects become apparent immediately following the injections. Due to the fact that the patient’s own blood is used and not a foreign substance, there is almost no chance of an allergic reaction.
