Can sound waves improve erectile dysfunction? In this video, Dr. Kia Michel explains how sound therapy for ED works and why it may help men who no longer respond well to medications like Viagra or Cialis. As a board-certified urologist and pioneer in advanced men’s health treatments, Dr. Michel has over 20 years of experience delivering cutting-edge care at Comprehensive Urology in Beverly Hills.
Video Description
Sound therapy for ED, also known as low-intensity shockwave therapy or pulse wave therapy, uses repeated acoustic sound waves directed into penile tissue. These sound waves stimulate a biological response that increases blood flow to the area. Over time, the body responds by forming new microvascular networks (a process called neovascularization), improving long-term circulation within the penis.
In this video, Dr. Michel explains how improved blood flow can lead to stronger, more sustainable erections. Many men who previously required increasing doses of erectile dysfunction medications may find they need lower doses—or in some cases, become responsive to medications again after treatment.
At Comprehensive Urology, patients benefit from our best-in-class Beverly Hills facility, affiliation with Cedars-Sinai, and in-office diagnostics for faster results. Our nationally recognized team provides state-of-the-art urological care grounded in the latest research and active clinical trials.
