Rigenerection® protocol in the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction
More than 3 million Italians suffer from problems with Erectile Dysfunction (ED). It is estimated that about 50% of men between the ages of 40 and 60 have problems achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse.
Dr. Ruffo has patented a new method for the noninvasive treatment of ED:
Rigeneraction® protocol.
This involves the combined use of intracavernous injections of Platelet Enriched Plasma (PrP) and Low Intensity Shockwaves (LISW) .
Prp injections are rich in bioactive proteins that release growth factors to stimulate cell regeneration and accelerate tissue repair.
Tissue regeneration is achieved by the natural production of stem cells.
The treatment is absolutely painless and begins with a simple blood draw that is then centrifuged, separating the plasma and platelets from the rest of the blood. This plasma, highly concentrated with enriched platelets, and rich in stem factors is collected in small syringes and is injected back into the damaged tissues.
The injected growth factors stimulate regeneration of new tissue in the corpora cavernosa, growth of new blood vessels, and thus improved circulation within the penis.
The treatment is free of side effects as it uses and reinfuses the same person's own plasma.
Low-intensity shock waves stimulate the release of vascular growth factors inducing neo-angiogenesis and improving cavernous microcirculation and consequently erection.
The combined PrP and LISW action improves erection naturally without the use of drugs.
This treatment applied to the corpora cavernosa of the penis improves its vasculature leading to a natural improvement in erection. Numerous studies have shown improvement in about 70% of treated patients. The treatment is especially indicated for patients with cardiovascular problems, diabetics, or reluctance to on-demand oral therapy.
The treatment is painless, effective and without side effects. It lasts about 15 minutes and is carried out by the andrologist specialist who will study with the patient the most suitable protocol for the case.
It usually takes only 6 treatments (1 treatment per week) to appreciate the first improvements
