Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LiESWT) is a non-invasive treatment procedure for erectile dysfunction (ED). The procedure involves transmitting low-intensity extracorporeal waves into the penile cavernous tissue, stimulating microvascular repair and enhancing blood flow to support the penis’s erectile function. LiESWT effectively treats mild-to-moderate erectile dysfunction and people who respond poorly to oral PDE5 inhibitors. Alphamen Clinic utilises the non-invasive Dornier Aries® 2 for LiESWT treatment. With the emission of low-intensity electromagnetic waves via the SmartFocus and KoolShield features, the device effectively promotes healing through increased blood circulation and tissue regeneration. The treatment process does not require surgery or anaesthesia, but the actual treatment course and results need to be assessed and planned by a doctor. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common men's health condition that can affect confidence, intimate relationships, and overall quality of life. While oral medications may provide temporary symptom relief, they do not address the underlying vascular changes responsible for many cases of erectile dysfunction. At Southern AlphaMen Clinic, Dr Gan, a certified Men's Health Physician and member of the Society for Men’s Health Singapore, offers Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (Li-ESWT) using the Dornier Aries 2 SmartFocus system. This evidence-based, non-invasive treatment may help stimulate the body's natural healing response in selected men with vasculogenic (vascular) erectile dysfunction. Dr Gan is also a certified Dornier Aries 2 Smart Focus Applicator Specialist, offering patients access to advanced technology-based treatment options as part of a comprehensive approach to erectile dysfunction management. Patients from Johor Bahru as well as Singapore visit our clinic for personalised assessment and appointment-based treatment. Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (Li-ESWT) delivers low-energy acoustic waves to targeted penile tissue. Unlike oral ED medications that temporarily improve blood flow through pharmacological effects, Li-ESWT aims to stimulate biological tissue repair and encourage the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). Clinical studies suggest that carefully selected patients with vascular erectile dysfunction may experience improvements in erectile function following a treatment course. Individual results vary depending on factors such as age, severity of ED, existing medical conditions and lifestyle. Your urologist may recommend shockwave therapy for selected patients with: For men whose ED is primarily caused by reduced penile blood flow. Selected patients with chronic pelvic pain may benefit as part of an individualised treatment plan. Li-ESWT may help relieve penile pain in selected patients with Peyronie's disease. Depending on the stage of the disease, additional treatment options may be discussed where appropriate. Southern AlphaMen Clinic uses the Dornier Aries 2 SmartFocus, a medical shockwave platform designed specifically for urological applications. Potential advantages include: Shockwave therapy starts from RM399 per session. The total number of sessions varies according to the patient's condition and treatment plan. Following your consultation, Dr Gan will recommend the most appropriate treatment schedule based on your clinical assessment. Treatment is typically performed once a week over six sessions, with each visit lasting approximately 15–20 minutes. During the procedure, low-intensity shockwaves are delivered to specific treatment areas using the Dornier Aries 2 SmartFocus applicator. Oral medications temporarily improve erectile function by acting on biochemical pathways and generally need to be taken before sexual activity. Low-intensity shockwave therapy works differently by aiming to stimulate tissue repair and improve penile blood flow over time. Individual responses vary, and not all patients will achieve the same outcomes. Most patients tolerate the procedure well without anaesthesia. You may feel gentle tapping sensations and hear the device operating during treatment. Dr Gan will monitor your comfort throughout the session. Shockwave therapy is generally well tolerated. Mild redness, temporary discomfort or minor bruising may occasionally occur and usually resolve without treatment. Certain medical conditions may make shockwave therapy unsuitable, so a consultation is required before treatment. Some patients report improvements within several weeks after starting treatment, while others may require completion of the recommended treatment course. Response varies between individuals. Current clinical evidence suggests improvements may last from several months to over one year in some patients. Duration depends on factors including the underlying cause of erectile dysfunction, disease severity, age and lifestyle. Long-term outcomes continue to be studied. Yes. Most patients can return to their normal daily routine immediately after treatment. There is generally no recovery period required. Coverage varies between insurers and policy types. Most insurance plans do not routinely reimburse shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction. Patients are encouraged to check directly with their insurance provider.
