What is Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?
Erectile dysfunction (ED), or impotence, is the inability to obtain or maintain an erection suitable for intimate activity. More than 35 million men in the United States are affected by it. While more than half of men aged 65 and older and nearly all men over the age of 70 experience ED, it also affects up to 39 percent of men in their 40s.
Left untreated, the physical frustrations of living with erectile dysfunction can quickly become emotionally stressful as well, with men often reporting relationship and related issues. The result can be embarrassment and loss of self-esteem, which often affects personal relationships.
PRP Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction
At Halo Medicine, we can treat erectile dysfunction by using platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy. The PRP procedure, also called the PRP Shot or P Magic Shot, is non-invasive and doesn't carry the heart-health risks that many traditional erectile dysfunction treatments do.
This is because PRP therapy uses natural, regenerative cells that are drawn from your bloodstream. These cells are refined to just the platelet rich plasma (PRP) using a highly-advanced centrifuge. They are then administered directly to the penis and delivers erections that are:
- Firmer
- Larger
- More frequent
- Longer lasting
This is because PRP promotes the growth of new tissue that can help you have better erections for up to 18 months or longer.
What is PRP?
PRP is a part of a category of medicine called Regenerative Medicine. In simple terms, the process involves taking a small amount of your blood, concentrating your blood’s platelets, and then injecting the resulting platelet-rich plasma into an area of your body in need of regeneration.
At Halo, we also use PRP therapy to:
- Perform non-invasive face lifts and breast lifts.
- Spur hair regrowth.
- Reduce or eliminate urinary incontinence.
- Boost sexual function for woman and men.

PRP FAQs
It’s been the talk of the town in Hollywood with many high-profile actors and actresses successfully undergoing PRP cosmetic treatments.
PRP has evolved and now being successfully being used as a “NATURAL” holistic alternative to cosmetic facial injections, facial fillers (Liquid face lift), for hair restoration, breast lift, treatment for incontinence, erectile dysfunction and much more.
Platelets function as a natural reservoir for growth factors that are essential to repair injured tissues. The growth factors that the platelets secrete stimulate tissue recovery by increasing collagen production, enhancing tendon stem cell proliferation, and tenocyte-related gene and protein expression. These growth factors also stimulate blood flow and cause cartilage to become more firm and resilient. PRP activates tenocytes to proliferate quickly and produce collagen to repair injured tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and muscles.
However, because needles are used to do the injections, there is a possibility of bruising.
We always advise reviewing your medications with the Halo Team and stopping all supplements, including fish oils, 1 week prior to any PRP treatment.
