Can Acoustic Wave Therapy Improve My Sex Life?
Jul 01, 2025
If your sexual function isn’t what it used to be, you may want to consider acoustic wave therapy. This minimally invasive treatment uses high-energy sound waves to improve your erections and sexual well-being.
Our expert team at Kane Health in Silicon Valley, Redwood City, and the San Francisco Bay area of California is pleased to offer acoustic wave therapy for good candidates.
Here’s a closer look at this treatment, including proven benefits to look forward to.
Some 30-50 million men in the United States deal with erectile dysfunction (ED) at some point. Characterized by difficulty achieving or maintaining erections, ED becomes increasingly common with age due to factors like lower testosterone levels. While about 40% of 40-year-old men experience it, 70% of men report symptoms by age 70.
Other factors that can fuel ED include chronic diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. These conditions can interfere with blood flow to the penis, making erections difficult or impossible.
Peyronie’s disease, which involves plaque buildup in the penis, can cause erection difficulties, too. In addition to ED-like symptoms, Peyronie’s disease causes crooked and painful erections.
Acoustic wave therapy, also known as soundwave therapy, treats ED and Peyronie’s disease by breaking up microplaque in your blood vessels, stimulating new blood vessel growth, and improving blood flow during arousal. These benefits lead to stronger and more easily attainable erections.
Acoustic wave therapy provides an especially helpful option if you’re not able to take ED medication due to a chronic medical condition or wish to avoid reliance on a drug. It also provides an effective alternative when other ED treatments haven’t sufficed.
A typical acoustic wave session takes just 20-25 minutes. Thanks to a topical numbing solution, you should feel comfortable while your provider moves the device over the treatment area. From there, you should notice benefits within 4-12 weeks.
Beyond improved erections, acoustic wave therapy can minimize other aspects of sexual dysfunction that interfere with your sex life. Many men experience emotional benefits, such as boosted self-confidence and reduced performance anxiety post-treatment. If ED has sent your libido plummeting, you can expect improvements there, too.
Acoustic wave therapy can also make way for improved intimacy with a partner and an easier time achieving pregnancy if desired.
To maximize your acoustic wave therapy benefits, our team may recommend lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking and improving your dietary and exercise habits.
