PRF for Erectile Dysfunction

Ideal Candidates for PRF Therapy

PRF Therapy is ideal for men who are seeking a non-surgical, drug-free solution to erectile dysfunction and related sexual performance issues. Candidates typically include men who:

• Are experiencing reduced erectile function, libido or sexual satisfaction
• Are seeking to improve penile curvature and erections affected by Peyronie's Disease

Contraindications may include certain blood disorders, active infections or severe systemic diseases. A consultation with our specialists will help determine if PRF Therapy is right for you.

What to Expect from Your PRF Therapy

PRF Therapy at Dallas Men's Health involves a structured process designed to ensure your comfort and maximize treatment efficacy. Here's what you can expect:

Consultation

We start with a personalized consultation with our expert team. During this session, we discuss your medical history, sexual health concerns and treatment goals. This is a great time to ask questions and express any concerns you might have about the treatment.

Procedure

The PRF Therapy procedure is straightforward and minimally invasive:

1. Blood Draw: A small sample of your blood is taken, similar to a routine blood test.
2. Centrifugation: Your blood is placed in a centrifuge, where it's spun to separate the platelet-rich fibrin matrix, rich in growth factors and stem cells, from other blood components.
3. Injection: The PRF is then injected into specific areas of the penis, using fine needles to minimize discomfort.

The entire procedure typically takes less than an hour, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort.

Recovery

Recovery from PRF Therapy is quick, with most men returning to their daily activities immediately. Some may experience minor swelling or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects usually subside within a few days.

Follow-Ups

Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor your progress and evaluate the treatment's effectiveness. Adjustments to the treatment plan may be made based on your response to the initial therapy.

Throughout each step, our team at Dallas Men's Health ensures you're informed, comfortable and confident in your treatment journey.

PRF Therapy vs. Other Regenerative ED Treatments

At Dallas Men's Health, we offer several regenerative therapies for erectile dysfunction in addition to PRF therapy. Here's a look at these alternatives and how they compare to PRF.

PRF vs. PRP therapy (the P-Shot)

Platelet-rich plasma is a slightly different preparation of growth factors used to similar effect in the treatment of ED. Like PRF, it's extracted from your own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or side effects, and stimulates tissue regeneration and increased blood flow in the penis.

PRF is obtained by spinning the blood at a low speed in a centrifuge, which does not require anticoagulants and results in a fibrin matrix rich in platelets, white blood cells and stem cell-like components. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), on the other hand, is created by spinning the blood at a higher speed, producing a clearer plasma layer that's richer in platelets but less dense in fibrin.

PRF releases growth factors over a longer period due to the fibrin matrix, potentially offering more sustained benefits. PRP provides a quicker release of hundreds of thousands of blood derived growth factors, which can be beneficial for immediate tissue repair and rejuvenation.

PRF therapy vs. exosome therapy

PRF and exosome therapy operate on similar principles. But unlike PRF or PRP, exosome therapy utilizes exosomes, which are extracellular vesicles containing billions of both blood and tissue derived growth factors, cytokines and other signaling molecules derived from donor cells. These vesicles target the underlying causes of sexual dysfunction at a cellular level.

Exosome therapy introduces exogenous growth factors directly into the treatment area, potentially offering a more immediate and potent effect. While PRF Therapy typically requires multiple treatment sessions, exosome therapy may require fewer treatment sessions, with results potentially appearing more rapidly.
