Article / What is GAINSWave® and How Does It Work?

GAINSWave® treats erectile dysfunction, decreased sexual performance, and Peyronie’s disease. By stimulating blood flow through shockwave therapy, the result is improved sexual erections, harder erections, and enhanced sensitivity.

If you’re one of the millions of men suffering from any of the above issues, find out how GAINSWave® can help you get your confidence back and feel your best.

What is GAINSWave®?

GAINSWave® is a non-invasive treatment that increases blood flow through the use of low-intensity soundwaves. There are no pills, injections, or surgery needed. It’s a completely natural, safe solution for improving sexual health that provides long-lasting benefits with no downtime required.

After receiving GAINSWave® treatment, 75% of men experience improved sexual performance, harder erections, and enhanced sensitivity.

How Does GAINSWave® Work?

As men age, it’s common for blood flow to the penis to decrease. This thins out existing blood vessels, which decreases sensitivity and makes it more difficult to get an erection. GAINSWave® works by using high-frequency low-intensity shock waves to increase blood flow to the penis.

Specifically, acoustic wave therapy is applied to the penis and removes any micro plaque that might have built up, increasing blood flow and encouraging new blood vessels to form. Once this occurs, men can experience harder, more sustainable erections.

At Game Day Men’s Health, your GAINSWave® Specialist uses a specialized device to apply shockwave therapy to the area. Each session lasts approximately 20 minutes. This is an outpatient procedure with no downtime, allowing you to return to work immediately following treatment. Many patients report noticing the benefits of treatment after anywhere between six to twelve sessions.

What are the Benefits Of GAINSWave® Treatment?

The benefits of GAINSWave® include:

  • Improved sexual performance
  • Harder, more sustainable erections
  • Enhanced sensitivity
  • Increased spontaneity
  • Increased confidence
  • Effective treatment for Peyronie’s disease by breaking up scar tissue
  • Increased blood flow to the penis

GAINSWave® Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction

Men’s blood flow decreases as they age, and poor blood flow can lead to erectile dysfunction. GAINSWave® therapy specifically works to improve blood flow, promote the growth of new blood vessels, and produce sustainable erections and enhanced sexual performance.

Is GAINSWave® Only For Erectile Dysfunction?

GAINSWave® is for any man who wants to improve sexual performance and enhancement. This shockwave therapy is an effective solution for producing stronger erections, better orgasms, and increased erections.

GAINSWave® Treatment for Peyronie’s Disease

Individuals who suffer from Peyronie’s disease can also benefit from GAINSWave® treatment. This disease is known for producing a buildup of fibrous scar tissue, causing the penis to bend and making sexual activity difficult. With GAINSWave®, scar tissue is broken up and the penis can take a normal shape again for improved sexual performance.

Who is a Candidate For Treatment?

Adults who experience mild to moderate erectile dysfunction, have issues with sexual performance or have Peyronie’s disease are often a candidate for treatment. To determine if you’re a candidate for treatment, visit a healthcare professional who can evaluate your condition.

Is GAINSWave® Painful?

Most patients report GAINSWave® is not painful and some experience a tingling sensation. A numbing agent is applied to the soft tissue of your genitals to minimize any potential discomfort.

How Long Do the Benefits Last?

How long the benefits last will depend on the individual. Some men experience enhanced sensitivity and improved sexual performance for up to 3 years. Most men need between six to twelve sessions to experience the benefits.

After this time period, it’s recommended that men continue to receive periodic treatments to maintain improved sexual performance.

What are the Potential Side Effects?

While GAINSWave® is considered generally safe with minimal risk, the side effects can include mild bruising, temporary numbness, or a tingling sensation in the area. More severe complications (while rare) can include damage or infection to the penile tissue.

What To Expect with GAINSWave® Treatment

During Your GAINSWave® Treatment

If you’re determined to be a candidate for treatment, your GAINSWave® Specialist will place a numbing agent on the soft tissue of your genitals. Then using a specialized shockwave therapy device, acoustic wave therapy is applied for several minutes to the area. This process increases blood flow to the penis and removes any buildup of plaque, improving sexual performance.

The session will last approximately 20 minutes.

After Your GAINSWave® Treatment

This treatment is an outpatient procedure with no downtime. You’ll be able to drive after the session and return to work or your normal activity. It’s common to experience a spontaneous erection within 24 hours following treatment.

Additional sessions will most likely be needed over the course of several weeks and months to experience the full benefit of treatment.
