Erectile Dysfunction Treatment
Regain Confidence—and the Ability to Achieve Full Erections—in the Philadelphia Area
Erectile dysfunction is a very common problem. Fortunately, modern treatments that help men to achieve and maintain natural full erections are now readily available—but that doesn't mean they are all the same. At Buinewicz Cosmetic Surgery, we offer highly effective erectile dysfunction treatments for the Philadelphia area, including Doylestown and Bucks County, PA, and Flemington and Hunterdon County, NJ.
For many men, the ability to achieve an erection is not just a matter of pleasure, but of confidence and pride. Erectile dysfunction—often referred to as "ED"—can be a source of frustration, embarrassment, and poor self-image. The Buinewicz Cosmetic Surgery team works with patients facing this medical issue in order to help improve quality of life.

What Is Erectile Dysfunction?
Simply put, erectile dysfunction is a condition that prevents someone achieving or maintaining a full erection. This problem can make sexual intercourse a challenge—if not an outright impossibility—which means it impacts not just the sufferers, but their partners as well. As a result, ED can be damaging to intimacy, connection, and relationships in addition to self-esteem.
An estimated 50 percent of all men experience some form of erectile dysfunction after the age of 40. The problem tends to increase with age, though erectile dysfunction is also found in younger populations.
What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?
There are multiple reasons a person may experience ED, but an especially common cause is lack of a sufficient blood supply to the penis.
Erections happen when arteries expand to allow increased blood flow into the penis, typically triggered by sexual arousal. The increasing volume and pressure as specialized spongy tissue fills with blood causes the penis to grow and harden, which temporarily constricts the vessels and prevents the blood from flowing back out. After an ejaculation or loss of sexual arousal, the swelling recedes, allowing blood from the penis to drain back into the rest of the body.
If the arteries narrow over time or there are other conditions that hinder proper flow into the penis, there may not be enough blood to fill the spongy tissue. This can prevent achieving an erection. Similarly, certain vessel-related problems may allow the blood to quickly leak back out again. This can prevent maintaining an erection long enough for sexual intercourse.
Some other causes of erectile dysfunction include nerve damage, hormone shifts, and even psychological factors.
Another potential cause of erectile dysfunction is Peyronie disease, which involves the development of internal penile scar tissue as a result of injury, often from sexual activity. The fibrous scar tissue causes the penis to dramatically curve or bend when erect, potentially to a point causing pain and reduced sexual function.
Happily, Buinewicz Cosmetic Surgery offers treatments that can help with this disease, as well as other causes of erectile dysfunction.
What Erectile Dysfunction Treatments Are Available at the Philadelphia Area's Buinewicz Cosmetic Surgery?
There are numerous erectile dysfunction treatments available for patients who want to regain their ability to achieve and maintain an erection. At Buinewicz Cosmetic Surgery, we focus primarily on two: GAINSWave and Zimmer Z Wave.
GAINSWave Acoustic Sound Wave Therapy
GAINSWave uses acoustic waves to harmlessly pass through the skin and break up restrictive plaques that may have formed in the blood vessels of the penis. Removing the plaques can allow blood to flow more freely. This erectile dysfunction treatment can also encourage the growth of new blood vessels and help to restore proper flow. Sessions are entirely nonsurgical, last only about 20 minutes, and can provide long-lasting results with no downtime. GAINSWave is ideal for men with mild to severe erectile dysfunction.
Zimmer Z Wave
The Zimmer Z Wave applicator transmits high-energy radial shockwaves directly into the skin tissue of the penis's shaft. This energy encourages cell growth, strengthens the tissue, and increases blood flow—and it can be used in conjunction with other erectile dysfunction treatments as well. The best results develop after a series of sessions, all of which are painless and can be completed quickly.
The P-Shot
Short for the "Priapus Shot"—named after the Greek god of fertility and male genitalia—the P-Shot is another erectile dysfunction treatment. This option consists of injections of platelet-rich plasma, collected and derived from the patient's own blood. The idea is that high concentrations of platelets, which are fragments of cells responsible for healing functions throughout the body, could repair penile damage and improve overall blood flow.
What Happens After an Erectile Dysfunction Treatment?
No down time is required after any of the erectile dysfunction treatments available at Buinewicz Cosmetic Surgery. Patients are free to return to their typical daily activities—including sexual intercourse—as soon as they would like.
Note that the results will take time to develop. Improving blood flow is a gradual process and may take multiple treatment sessions in order to make the desired difference. We will discuss the expected timeframe for results, as well as other details, before starting any treatments so that you fully understand the scope of the process.
Over time, as blood vessels regain their proper function, you should start to notice fuller, longer-lasting erections.

What Options Beyond Erectile Dysfunction Treatments Are Available for Men?
Men have a wide range of options at Buinewicz Cosmetic Surgery, where the team is devoted to offering procedures and treatments with a male focus in mind. Dr. Brian Buinewicz does not take a "one size fits all" approach to his surgeries, because what works best for a woman's body is not necessarily what works best for a man's body. That is why he performs male tummy tuck, male liposuction, male brow lift, male rhinoplasty, and other procedures that take male aesthetics, builds, and anatomy into account.
Dr. Buinewicz also offers surgery for gynecomastia, which is a condition that causes men to develop the appearance of breasts. There are several causes, and procedures are customized to the patient in order to create a more traditionally flat, sculpted, and masculine chest.
From treating erectile dysfunction to shaping body and facial contours to helping you to look refreshed and relaxed, our goal at Buinewicz Cosmetic Surgery is to boost your self-image and confidence with customized, long-lasting, and life-changing results.
