The Complete Patient Guide to the P-Shot®
The Complete Patient Guide to the P-Shot®
Welcome to Dallas Medicine & Aesthetics.
Many men notice changes in sexual performance, sensitivity, confidence, or erectile function as they age. These changes may occur gradually and can be influenced by normal aging, medical conditions, hormonal changes, medications, stress, or vascular health.
The P-Shot® (Priapus Shot®) is a regenerative procedure that utilizes platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from your own blood to support the body’s natural healing processes. Rather than simply treating symptoms temporarily, the P-Shot® is designed to stimulate tissue repair, improve blood flow, and promote healthier tissue through regenerative medicine.
Throughout this guide, we’ll explain how the treatment works, who may be a candidate, what to expect, and whether the P-Shot® may be an appropriate option for your individual goals.
What is the P-Shot®?
The P-Shot® is a non-surgical regenerative procedure that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from your own blood.
Platelets naturally contain hundreds of growth factors and signaling proteins involved in tissue repair, collagen production, blood vessel formation, and cellular healing.
After preparing the platelet-rich plasma, it is carefully injected into specific treatment areas of the penis to stimulate the body’s natural regenerative response.
Unlike medications that provide temporary improvement while active in the bloodstream, the P-Shot® aims to improve tissue health by encouraging your own natural healing processes.
How Does the P-Shot® Work?
Treatment begins with a simple blood draw.
Your blood is processed using specialized centrifuge technology to isolate highly concentrated platelet-rich plasma.
This concentrated PRP contains naturally occurring growth factors that help support:
• Improved blood vessel formation (angiogenesis)
• Collagen production
• Healthier tissue remodeling
• Improved circulation
• Cellular regeneration
• Healthier erectile tissue
Once injected into carefully selected treatment areas, these growth factors stimulate your body’s natural repair mechanisms over time.
Because the treatment uses your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction to the platelet-rich plasma itself.
Who May Be a Candidate?
Men seek the P-Shot® for a variety of concerns.
You may be a candidate if you experience:
• Mild to moderate erectile dysfunction
• Reduced firmness
• Decreased sensitivity
• Difficulty maintaining erections
• Age-related sexual performance changes
• Reduced confidence
• Interest in regenerative, non-surgical treatment options
• Peyronie’s disease (selected patients)
A comprehensive consultation is performed to determine whether the P-Shot® is appropriate based on your medical history, symptoms, medications, and treatment goals.
Conditions the P-Shot® May Help Improve
Some patients seek treatment for concerns including:
• Mild to moderate erectile dysfunction
• Reduced penile sensitivity
• Decreased erectile quality
• Age-related vascular changes
• Peyronie’s disease (selected patients)
• Sexual performance concerns
While many patients report meaningful improvement, individual results vary. No regenerative procedure can guarantee specific outcomes.
Potential Benefits of the P-Shot®
Many patients report improvements in:
• Erectile quality
• Firmness
• Sensitivity
• Sexual confidence
• Overall sexual satisfaction
• Penile tissue health
Some patients also report subjective improvement in spontaneous erections and overall function.
Results develop gradually as tissue regeneration occurs.
What Happens During Treatment?
Your visit begins with a confidential consultation and medical evaluation.
A small blood sample is collected.
The blood is processed using advanced centrifuge technology to prepare concentrated platelet-rich plasma.
A topical anesthetic and local anesthetic are used to maximize comfort during treatment.
Once numb, the PRP is precisely injected into carefully selected treatment areas.
The appointment typically requires approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately afterward.
Does the P-Shot® Hurt?
Most men tolerate the procedure very well.
Topical anesthetic and local anesthetic significantly reduce discomfort.
Patients typically describe feeling pressure rather than pain during treatment.
How is Recovery and Downtime
Recovery is typically minimal.
Some patients experience:
• Mild swelling
• Temporary bruising
• Mild tenderness
• Temporary fullness
These effects generally resolve within several days.
Most patients return to work and normal activities immediately.
Specific post-treatment instructions will be reviewed during your appointment.
When Will I See Results?
Every patient’s healing response is different.
Some men notice early improvement within several weeks.
For many patients, results continue developing over approximately two to three months as collagen remodeling and tissue regeneration continue.
Because regenerative medicine stimulates your body’s own healing response, improvements occur gradually rather than immediately.
How Long Do Results Last?
Many patients enjoy improvements for approximately 12 to 18 months.
Duration varies depending upon:
• Age
• Overall health
• Hormonal status
• Vascular health
• Lifestyle
• Medical conditions
Some patients choose maintenance treatments based on their individual goals.
Why We Use RegenLab® Platelet-Rich Plasma

Why Experience Matters
The P-Shot® requires an understanding of male anatomy, vascular physiology, regenerative medicine, and proper injection technique.
Appropriate patient selection and thorough education are equally important.

Our philosophy is simple:
Educate first.
Listen carefully.
Recommend only what is medically appropriate.
Our goal is to help every patient make informed decisions while providing safe, compassionate, evidence-informed care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the P-Shot® FDA approved?
The P-Shot® uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood. PRP technology is widely used throughout medicine; however, individual PRP procedures are considered part of the practice of medicine and are not individually FDA-approved.
Can the P-Shot® replace ED medications?
The P-Shot® is not intended to replace prescription medications. Some patients continue their medications, while others notice improvement over time. Treatment recommendations are individualized.
How long does the appointment take?
Most appointments require approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal, and most patients return to normal activities the same day.
When can I resume sexual activity?
Most patients may resume sexual activity after approximately 24 to 48 hours unless otherwise instructed.
Is the procedure safe?
Because the treatment uses your own platelet-rich plasma, the risk of allergic reaction is extremely low. As with any injection procedure, bruising, swelling, tenderness, infection, and bleeding are possible but uncommon.
