Your P-Shot FAQs Answered: Part 2 - Digging Deeper
Welcome back to the second part of our in-depth exploration into the P-Shot. In this continuation, we'll answer more of your pressing questions about this treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED). Read Part 1: Your Guide to the P-Shot: Personal Stories and FAQ
First, let's learn a bit about the P Shot. Patient reviews on Realself give it an outstanding 97% "Worth It" rating. It's a treatment that's both non-invasive and drug-free, utilizing your own blood to stimulate collagen and tissue growth. With that introduction, let's dive into your questions.
Does the P Shot increase size and improve performance?
The primary aim of the P-Shot is to enhance performance rather than increase penis size. However, many patients have experienced surprising size gains because the Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) used in the P-Shot stimulates healthy tissue growth and improves blood flow. This combined effect can lead to a noticeable size improvement.
Is the P Shot Temporary?
The P-Shot typically lasts for a few months, generally between three to six months. To maintain the desired results, it's recommended to have up to three treatments per year.
Does the Choice of PRP Centrifuge Matter?
Yes, it does. The choice of PRP centrifuge impacts the concentration and effectiveness of the PRP used in the P-Shot. The critical factor is the platelet concentration in the plasma. Advanced centrifuge technology can separate platelets more efficiently, resulting in a richer and more potent PRP.
Yet, the centrifuge alone is not enough to guarantee treatment success. It's also essential to choose a provider who strictly adheres to an established P-Shot protocol. This protocol includes using an FDA-approved centrifuge, a substantial amount of PRP (10 cc or more), and PRP activation before injection – all crucial for the treatment's success.

Can I Get the P Shot and Filler on the Same Day?
Absolutely! Having the P-Shot and filler injections on the same day is generally safe. Filler injections are superficial, while the P-Shot targets blood flow and cell regeneration. Your provider will determine the best approach to achieve optimal results based on your unique needs.
Can the P Shot Treat a Bent Penis ? (Peyronie's Disease or Injury)
Peyronie's disease causes scar tissue formation inside the penis, leading to curvature, erectile dysfunction, and discomfort. While there's no cure, several treatments can alleviate symptoms. PRP therapy, like the P-Shot, can help break down scar tissue and improve blood flow, providing significant relief from Peyronie's disease symptoms and enhancing sexual function. Treatment for Peyronie's disease can be provided at our Vancouver or Abbotsford clinic on an individual basis, so be sure to book an appointment with Dr. Godley so he can assess you personally.
Similarly, injuries can also lead to scar formation, resulting in curvature and discomfort. The P-Shot can be a valuable option to break down scar tissue and improve blood flow in such cases.
