Botox is an exciting new tool for men to help revive the quality of their sexual health! You are likely wondering how Botox (which is a muscle relaxant) will improve erections. The key point in understanding why it works is to realize the penis is not a skeletal muscle, it is a smooth muscle. In fact when the penis is flaccid the smooth muscle of the penis is in a chronically contracted state!. The secret to a good erection is to actually relax the smooth muscle to allow blood to flow into, and remain in, the penis. Botox supports fuller relaxation of these muscles which creates stronger and better erections for longer time.

How does the treatment work? What are the Results?
Irena will discuss with you the treatment and decide on 50 or 100 units of Botox. Next she will numb your penis to ensure a comfortable procedure. For a stand alone procedure we make 2 injections on either side of the shaft of penis. You will feel just a tiny poke. That is all there is to it. Results should first be noticed after 1-2 weeks and will improve up to 3-6 months. If integrated with other treatments the results can extend considerably longer. The degree of improvement, of course, will depend greatly on the current health of your penis. Another potential benefit is that your penis will feel and look and feel fuller when flaccid.
Is it safe?
Although Botox is an FDA-approved medication for many different purposes, it is not yet approved for use for sexual health. However, studies have shown its efficacy and lack of side effects. The video above from Dr. Malik discusses some of the research studies. The only known side effects are minor pain and bruising at injection sites.
Here are links to research studies: here and here Did you KNOW?: Botox is used for more than just wrinkles, It is now used in a variety of medical conditions such as migraines and other smooth muscle areas such as bladder and gastro-intestinal. In fact Botox generally remains effective longer in the smooth muscles of the body than the skeletal muscles.
How does Botox work with other men's intimate wellness treatments?
We view Botox as a complement to our other modalities of men's sexual wellness such as the P-Shot PRP injection and Shockwave Therapy. In fact you can directly combine Botox with the PRP from a P-Shot. This is called the P-Shot Plus+ and is highly effective. All three treatments employ different modalities and mechanisms so they can be combined for synergistic effects.
How much does it cost?
We base our price on 50 or 100 units of Botox at $11 per unit. If combined with a P-Shot you receive $100 off the P-Shot price.
