Erectile Dysfunction Treatment in Toronto

Men who struggle to achieve or maintain an erection and achieve sexual satisfaction during intercourse, may struggle with a common condition called erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is typically caused by normal aging with decreases in testosterone, growth hormone, collagen and blood supply. Medical conditions that can lead to erectile dysfunction include diabetes, cardiovascular disease, alcohol use, and some medications. It can also be caused by stress, depression, and anxiety.

What might surprise you is that erectile dysfunction is more common than you might think. According to research, it’s expected that ED impacts over 40% of men over 40 and 60% or men over 60. Men and women are living longer lives with active, healthy sex lives well into their 80’s and beyond. The older you get, the more likely you are to develop erectile dysfunction symptoms. This can lead to decreased sexual desire, anxiety, and stress around sexual performance.

Toronto Plastic Surgeons and Wellness Centre specializes in offering innovative, effective, “state-of-the-art”, safe and affordable erectile dysfunction treatment to individuals in the Toronto area. Here’s how you can benefit from non-invasive ED solutions in Ontario:

What is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction occurs when men are unable to achieve or maintain an erection to achieve the desired satisfaction during intercourse or sexual activity. When this happens, it can make sexual performance more challenging, which can lead to both physical and psychological effects and can compromise the happiness and satisfaction in a relationship. Many men who struggle with erectile dysfunction struggle with constant stress, anxiety, and depression. They are also more likely to develop serious health conditions like heart disease or diabetes.

Depending on the severity of your condition, your medical provider may recommend oral prescriptive medication in combination with radiofrequency-based therapy, or less commonly penile injections of penile implant surgery.

What is ApexRF for Erectile Dysfunction or ED?

ApexRF is a radiofrequency therapy designed to stimulate blood flow and collagen production in the penile shaft. ED is a process of not enough flow into the penis and too much leaking of blood out. With aging, there is less robust blood supply to the expansion vessels in the penis and less collagen under the lining (called the Tunica Albuginea) which results is less compression on the outflow veins and allow blood delivered to the erection to leak out, with resulting loss of penile rigidity.

The ApexRF has a handpiece called the Forma Penis. The Forma Penile handpiece is specially shaped and designed to delivered controlled heating to the desired temperature to the penile shaft for the recommended time to optimize outcome. Manufactured by the worldwide medical equipment manufacturer InMode, the ApexRF, delivers best-in-class temperature-controlled heating of the penile shaft resulting in increased blood supply coming into the penile shaft and increased collagen under the lining to increase pressure on the outflow veins and maintain the erection.

This erectile dysfunction treatment in Toronto can help treat individuals with mild to moderate ED. It’s non-invasive and requires little to no downtime. At TPS we deploy a combination of Oral prescription therapy (Viagra or Cialis) with the ApexRF and other mechanical suction devices and shock wave systems. Combing Energy based devices together with oral prescriptive medications can provide the more effective treatment for ED.

Ideal candidates for ApexRF for ED 

Patients with mild to moderate ED can benefit from ApexRF. It works best for individuals with aging skin, aiming to restore normal erectile function. Patients must be in good health to receive treatment. A specialist will review your medical record and other health conditions before determining if this treatment is right for you.

Who should avoid ApexRF for ED? 

If you have severe ED, your doctor may recommend surgery over ApexRF for ED. Anyone with a pacemaker or skin cancer should also avoid radiofrequency therapy. If you have any questions or concerns, consider scheduling a consultation with your medical provider for more information.

ApexRF for ED Benefits

ApexRF is a non-invasive ED solution in Ontario. It’s one of the best options for patients wanting to improve their ability to achieve and maintain an erection, but don’t want to take daily medication to get results.

The treatment can help improve vascular function in the penile area, helping to restore nerve sensitivity and smooth muscle tone. It can also help stimulate nitric oxide production, which helps support erections. The ApexRF adds needs collagen to keep the increased blood flow trapped within the erectile penis for rigidity.

After a few sessions, patients notice visible results in just three to six weeks. Over time, this can lead to more sexual pleasure and better performance.

ApexRF for ED Process

ApexRF uses gentle thermal RF energy to help stimulate blood flow, boost collagen production, and improve overall tissue health. It’s typically performed on the penile shaft and perineum. During the treatment, a mechanism is used to help with tissue remodelling and angiogenesis. Each session takes around 15-20 minutes. After the treatment, you can return home and continue your everyday activities. There is no aftercare or downtime needed.

Other Erectile Dysfunction Treatments Available

There are other treatments that your doctor may recommend. Oral medications like Viagra can provide short-term relief and have a 60-85% success rate. However, some individuals struggle with headaches, hypotension, and congestion.

Shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction in Toronto is a popular option for individuals struggling with vasculogenic erectile dysfunction. It requires around 6-12 sessions, and the success rate is around 70-85%. ApexRF may be combined with shock wave in certain cases

Penile injections are fast-acting and typically recommended to men who don’t find success from medications. The most popular penile injections are Trimix, and the cost is around $120-$250 per dose.

It is important to note that most patients must get six to eight weekly sessions. Regular sessions may be needed to maintain your results. If you have any questions or concerns, consult with a specialist. They’ll let you know how many sessions are required depending on the severity of your ED.
