Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

How many treatments you require will depend upon the cause, extent and duration of your erection problems. Most patients require between 1 and 3 treatment sessions to achieve the best results and an annual refresher session is recommended to extend results. How many treatments you require will be discussed at your initial consultation with one of our men’s health doctors.

Consultation:

Your initial consultation with one of our doctors is one of the most important aspects of the PRP Procedure. It’s important to identify what’s causing the problems to make sure you get the right treatment for erectile dysfunction. We aim to provide a holistic medical solution. Your initial consultation may include assessments of current medications, weight and lifestyle factors, psychology, illness and hormone balance.

Treatment:

The first part of the procedure is a blood draw, which is double-spun using an advanced centrifuge system, precisely extracting the required components, including platelets and monocytes. These are used to stimulate growth factors and stem cells which lead to the regeneration on the penis’ tissue. This process takes around 20-30 minutes. An anesthetic cream will be used to numb your penis and the concentrated PRP is re-injected into those areas of the penis which are most important for blood flow. This part of the process takes around 10 minutes. Patients experience some swelling and inflammation during the treatment, which is expected and will subside in 1 – 2 days. You can reduce the risk of bruising during the procedure by avoiding the following items in the week leading up to your treatment: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication such as Neurofen, blood thinning medications, and fish oils.

Post-Treatment:

Following your treatment, the area may be swollen for up to 48 hours but this will reduce as the fluid is reabsorbed into the body. If swelling persists after 48 hours, you should contact your clinic. It’s also normal to experience a little bruising and tenderness. You should make sure that you keep the area clean for a week and you’ll need to refrain from sexual activity and strenuous activity for the first 3 days after your treatment. You’ll be given post procedure instructions at the time of your treatment – take the time to read these and makes sure that you follow them carefully.

The PRP Procedure requires an initial doctor consultation, which has a fee starting from $170.

If you’re interested in PRP-Therapy for other parts of the body, for example the face or neck, this can be added-on at the same time for only $499 per session.

CALIBRE Clinic uses EmCyte PurePRP II for re-injection PRP Therapy. This advanced method of cell separation is unmatched by any other PRP procedure in terms of efficacy and concentration. Inflammatory white blood cells and red blood cells are removed, while the platelets, monocytes and other nutrients are carefully concentrated, creating the treatment which is re-injected into the body in precise amounts.

The Pure PRP II system was developed by Patrick Pennie in the USA. Penne is a qualified Cardiovascular Perfusioinst – he takes care of the blood supply through the heart lung machine when people are undergoing open heart surgery. From his clinical work, he developed an expert and detailed knowledge of both blood handling and blood cell biology and developed the Emcyte conical design, equipment and separation protocols. The resultant system gives purer quality separation and higher cell concentrations, with minimal cell damage. This system is far superior to previous PRP systems and delivers consistently high results. You can read a clinical comparison of the different PRP systems here

PurePRP poses no risk of allergic reaction, sensitivity or other complication when extracted and re-injected under medical conditions, however, it may not be suitable for patients with:

Cancer or metastatic disease;

An active infection; or

A low platelet count.
