GainsWave Treatment Cost: What you should know
It is common for our clients to ask us about the cost of GainsWave therapy and how it compares to the cost of a penile implant.
What is the cost of GainsWave Treatment based on?
The cost of GainsWave to treat Erectile dysfunction (ED) is based on packages and the number of sessions. Gainswave protocol for ED is tailor-made to each individual patient.
The Breakdown of the Cost of GainsWave treatment
The cost of 6 sessions starts at 3000$ at the low end. Most medical practices may charge extra for an evaluation by the physician and can range from 250$ to 500$. Additional costs would involve the cost of a penis pump. I recommend a pump in the 300 to 350$ range because I find them to be more reliable.
Additional costs associated with GainsWave therapy
Blood tests are helpful to assess other issues contributing to ED and may be covered by your insurance.
P-Shot cost
We may need to add a priapus shot (also called P shot) for someone with severe ED or someone with PD (Peyronie’s Disease). The cost for this procedure at the low end would be 1500$. Some of us are adding stem cells or exosomes along with PRP which appears to be more effective and makes intuitive sense. The science is still iffy about this addition.
Cost of Penile implant
The cost of penile implant surgery can range upwards of 20,000$, not including “downtime”, away from work, etc. While GainsWave treatment does not have any “downtime”. (Double entendre here is intentional!)
In summary
Please understand that this does not work for everyone. So before you put down your hard-earned dollars make sure that you undergo a full medical evaluation to see if this procedure would work for you. I turn down a lot of patients who come in seeking Gainswave treatment with uncontrolled diabetes or who continue to smoke.
