ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy) Singapore

What Is ESWT?

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy is popularly known as ESWT Singapore. This consists of treatments that are made possible through sound waves that help with erectile dysfunction. These soft soundwaves are aimed at the penis to promote blood circulation and healing of the tissue. 

The treatment is:

• Without surgery
• Without drugs
• For the most part, painless
• Relatively short (15-30 minutes) sessions

• Stimulates blood vessel growth in the penis
• Increases efficiency of existing blood vessels

Think of it as a gentle gym session for blood vessels in your penis, which keeps them in good shape with time.
