What to Expect

Most patients begin to feel better in 3–4 weeks, with full results in 5–6 weeks. Erectile function improvements may take up to 6 months. We’ll monitor and adjust to ensure your therapy is effective and sustainable.

We also offer guidance on nutrition, weight loss, and lifestyle coaching to support your full wellness journey.
