If you’re considering the P-Shot® to enhance your sexual health and performance, you likely want to know how long the results will last. The short answer: most men enjoy noticeable improvements for 6 to 12 months after treatment, and sometimes even longer.
But the full story is a bit more nuanced. The longevity of your results depends on several factors, from your age and health to how well you care for your body after the procedure.
At Vitalogy Health and Integrative Medicine in Denver, we specialize in regenerative medicine to help you look, feel, and function at your best. We offer P-Shot as part of our integrative approach to male wellness. In this guide, we describe how long P-Shot lasts and what you can do to maximize your outcome.
When will I experience the P-Shot results?
One of the most exciting aspects of the P-Shot is how quickly some men begin noticing improvements. While results vary, many patients report an increase in sensitivity or arousal within just a few days of the procedure. This initial response is typically due to improved blood flow and the stimulation of nerve endings.
However, the most significant improvements develop over time. The P-Shot works by delivering platelet-rich plasma (PRP) directly into targeted areas of the penis, where it stimulates tissue repair, growth, and vascular regeneration. These regenerative processes unfold gradually over two to three months, which is when most men experience peak results.
Some patients also choose to undergo more than one P-Shot session for enhanced or longer-lasting results, especially if treating conditions like erectile dysfunction or Peyronie’s disease. At Vitalogy Denver, we tailor your treatment plan to your unique needs and goals, ensuring the best possible outcome with minimal downtime.
How long does the P-Shot last?
On average, the effects of the P-Shot last 6 to 12 months. Some men report benefits that persist longer, particularly when they maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow all aftercare guidelines. The longevity of your results depends on how your body responds to PRP therapy, an individualized process influenced by your age, metabolism, and overall health.
Now, let’s take a closer look at the factors that can influence how long your results will last.
Age
As we age, our body’s natural regenerative capabilities decline. Younger men often experience longer-lasting effects from the P-Shot because their bodies respond more robustly to PRP. However, older men can still achieve excellent results with proper guidance and care.
Overall health
Your baseline health has a major impact on your body’s ability to regenerate. Chronic health conditions like diabetes or cardiovascular disease may shorten the duration. On the other hand, men in good health typically see longer-lasting and more dramatic results.
Lifestyle habits
Regular exercise, a balanced diet, hydration, quality sleep, and stress management all contribute to vascular health and sexual performance. Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, by contrast, impair circulation and healing, limiting the effects of PRP.
Post-treatment care
What you do after the procedure matters just as much as the treatment itself. Using a penis pump, as recommended by your provider, helps improve blood flow and support tissue expansion during the regenerative process, which can enhance or prolong your results.
Treatment goals and combination therapies
If your goal is to address a complex issue like Peyronie’s disease or severe ED, your provider may recommend combining the P-Shot with other therapies, such as bioidentical hormone therapy. These combinations often lead to more dramatic and longer-lasting results.
Tips to maintain and optimize P-Shot results
Want to make the most of your investment? These strategies will help you maintain your results longer and support your sexual wellness:
- Follow your post-treatment protocol: We give you clear aftercare instructions to help you recover smoothly and get the best results. This includes using a vacuum pump regularly, avoiding smoking, and monitoring your body’s response.
- Prioritize cardiovascular health: Because the P-Shot enhances blood flow, keeping your cardiovascular system healthy is essential. Incorporate activities like walking, swimming, or weight training to improve circulation and support erectile function.
- Limit smoking and alcohol: Nicotine and excessive alcohol are known to impair blood flow and slow down healing. If you smoke or drink frequently, your results may not last as long, or may not be as noticeable in the first place. Cutting back or quitting can make a big difference.
- Stay on top of hormone health: Low testosterone levels can impact sexual performance and affect how well you respond to PRP therapy. We offer comprehensive hormone testing to assess your baseline and determine whether testosterone optimization may be helpful.
- Schedule maintenance sessions: Some patients choose to repeat the P-Shot annually. Others may benefit from more frequent sessions, especially if they’re treating a chronic condition. We’ll work with you to develop a maintenance schedule that fits your needs.
