Who is a Good Candidate for the Man Shot?

If you’re like most men, you may have noticed a decline in your sexual function and satisfaction over time. As men enter their 40s, 50s, and 60s, many find that they have less firm erections. Some men even experience a shortening or narrowing of the penis with age. While there are a number of surgical procedures and prescription medications available to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), many men are looking for a less invasive, more affordable, longer-lasting solution for ED. You may have heard of the Man Shot™, and you may have even asked yourself “Am I a good candidate for the Man Shot?”

Anti-aging expert Annamarie Salyer FNP-C at Bion Aesthetics and Med Spa is proud to offer the Man Shot™ in Indianapolis, IN. Learn more about the benefits of the Man Shot™, and find out if you may be a good candidate for this exciting treatment.

There are a number of potential causes for erectile dysfunction. Some of the most common causes of ED include:

• Age
• Low testosterone
• Stress
• Anxiety
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Hypertension
• Obesity
• Peyronie’s disease
• Alcohol/tobacco use
• Drug use
• Previous surgeries

In some cases, changes in behavior can improve a man’s ability to achieve and maintain an erection. Oftentimes, however, professional treatment is needed. While prescription medications and surgical procedures can be effective, they are typically expensive, inconvenient, and require synthetic products or devices, leading many patients to search for an alternative.

The Man Shot™ is a breakthrough treatment for male sexual dysfunction. In detail, the procedure utilizes a patient’s own blood to improve his erections. By isolating growth factors taken from the patient’s own blood and injecting it directly into the penis, the Man Shot™ provides many benefits. Many patients have reported:

• Stronger erections
• More frequent erections
• More reliable erections
• Increased penile length and girth
• Improved circulation to the penis
• Heightened sexual sensation and satisfaction
• Boosted self-confidence
• Better relationship with your partner

To begin, patients will first undergo a simple blood draw from the arm. Next, the enriched plasma is then separated using a specialized centrifuge in our on-site laboratory and prepared for injection. A common concern for patients considering the Man Shot™ is whether or not it hurts. With the use of a nerve block (like you experience at the dentist) and a topical numbing anesthetic, which is applied at the beginning of the procedure, the majority of patients feel very little to no pain or discomfort with the injections. Almost immediately following the procedure, patients are able to return to their normal daily activities.

Because the Man Shot™ is nonsurgical and utilizes a patient’s own blood, many men can be considered good candidates for the treatment. In fact, the Man Shot™ is often used as an alternative for patients who are not able to take prescription ED medications or no longer benefit from them. Ideal candidates for Indianapolis, IN Man Shot therapy should be:

• In good overall health
• Struggle with erectile dysfunction and/or poor sexual experience
• Interested in firmer, stronger erections
• Interested in increasing penis size
• Desire increased sexual sensitivity
• Possibly suffering from Peyronie’s disease
• Unresponsive to ED medications

Candidates for the Man Shot™ may also be interested in a more reliable and longer-lasting option compared to medications that need to be taken frequently. The effects of the Man Shot™ can last up to 18 months before a repeat injection is needed. Moreover, many patients find that they are able to go longer between injections after the first few rounds of the Man Shot™. During your initial consultation, our provider will help you better understand what results you may be able to expect from the Man Shot™ based on the nature and severity of your symptoms.
