P-Shop (Priapus Shot)

Sexual health concerns can affect confidence, intimacy, and quality of life. Many men in Northern Virginia dealing with erectile dysfunction or diminished performance feel frustrated by limited options or medications that don't address the underlying issue. The Priapus Shot, or P-Shot, offers a different approach using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to support natural tissue rejuvenation and improved function.

At Physician Artistry in Sterling, VA, Dr. Bruce Thomas performs the P-Shot as part of our men's wellness program. This non-surgical procedure may help improve erectile quality, sensation, and overall sexual performance by harnessing your body's own regenerative potential.

What Is the P-Shot?

The P-Shot is a non-surgical male enhancement treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood. PRP contains growth factors that can stimulate tissue repair, improve blood flow, and support healthier vascular function in treated areas.

• Blood is drawn and processed to concentrate healing platelets
• PRP is injected into specific areas to support improved circulation and tissue health
• The procedure takes about 30 minutes in-office
• Results develop gradually as tissue responds to growth factors
• No downtime or recovery period required

The P-Shot is often combined with GAINSWave acoustic wave therapy for enhanced results. Dr. Thomas will discuss whether combination treatment may be beneficial during your consultation.

What to Expect

The P-Shot is performed in our Sterling office with local numbing to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.

• Session length: Approximately 30 minutes including preparation
• Downtime: None. Most men resume normal activities immediately
• Results timeline: Many patients notice improvements within 2-4 weeks, with continued enhancement over 2-3 months
• Duration: Results may last 12-18 months. Maintenance treatments can extend benefits

Some men experience mild tenderness or swelling at injection sites for a day or two. Sexual activity can typically resume within 24-48 hours.

Who the P-Shot Is For

The P-Shot may be appropriate if you experience:

• Erectile dysfunction or inconsistent erections
• Reduced sensitivity or sensation
• Decreased sexual performance or stamina
• Concerns about size or firmness
• Side effects from ED medications or preference to avoid them
• Peyronie's disease or penile curvature (in select cases)

This treatment works best for men who have some baseline function and want to enhance or restore sexual health. Dr. Thomas will evaluate your medical history and goals to determine if the P-Shot is right for you.
