The P-Shot, also called the Priapus Shot, is a men's wellness treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood. At Uplifting Medi Spa, we offer it at our New Braunfels and Spring Branch clinics. Men usually ask about it for erection quality, sensitivity, or confidence in the bedroom.
Every P-Shot starts with a private consult. We review your health history, medications, and goals before anything else, and we tell you plainly what the treatment can and cannot do.
What is the P-Shot?
The P-Shot is PRP placed into the penis with a few small injections. Your provider draws a small amount of your blood and spins it in a centrifuge. That separates the platelet-rich plasma, which carries growth factors your body uses to repair tissue. The idea is to put those growth factors where blood flow and tissue health matter for erections and sensation.
It contains no drug, filler, or implant. Everything injected comes from your own blood.
Is the P-Shot a toxin or Botox?
No. The P-Shot has no botulinum toxin in it and is not related to Botox or Daxxify. It uses the same PRP approach as our Twilight Facial, applied to a different area.
What happens at a P-Shot visit
Plan on less than an hour for the full visit, including the blood draw and injections.
Consult and health review
We go over your medical history, current medications, sexual health goals, and what you have already tried. If something in your history points to a cause we should rule out first, we will say so.
Blood draw and PRP prep
We draw a small sample from your arm and process it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets.
Numbing
A topical numbing cream goes on first so the injections are more comfortable. We wait for it to work before we start.
PRP injections
Your provider injects the PRP into specific areas of the shaft and base. The injections take a few minutes.
Aftercare
Most men go back to normal activities the same day. Some plans include a short routine with a vacuum pump at home. Your provider will tell you whether that applies to you and when it is fine to resume sex.
What results to expect
Some men notice changes in a few weeks. Others see gradual change over several months. Many plans use two or three sessions about a month apart, sometimes with a yearly maintenance visit. Results vary from person to person, and we do not promise a specific outcome.
What the research says so far
PRP for erectile dysfunction is still early in the research. The American Urological Association's erectile dysfunction guideline lists PRP as experimental, and European urology guidelines recommend it only within clinical trials, because large controlled studies are still missing. Small studies have reported improvement with few side effects, but they are not enough to prove how well it works or for whom.
We share this at every consult so you can decide with the full picture. Some men choose the P-Shot alongside proven treatments their doctor manages. Others decide it is not for them, and that is fine.
Who may be a good fit
You may be a reasonable candidate if you are generally healthy, want a non-surgical option that uses your own blood, and understand that results are not guaranteed. Men often come in after trying medication that did not suit them, or because they want to support erection quality and sensitivity alongside other care.
When to see your doctor first
Erection problems can be an early sign of heart disease, diabetes, or low testosterone. If your symptoms are new or getting worse, talk with your primary care doctor or a urologist so those causes get checked. If low testosterone is part of the picture, our hormone replacement therapy guide explains testing and treatment options at Uplifting.
We may ask you to wait or choose another option if you have an active infection, a bleeding or clotting disorder, low platelets, take blood thinners, or have a condition that makes injections in this area unsafe. Bring a list of every medication and supplement you take.
Comfort, side effects, and downtime
With numbing, most men describe pressure and brief stinging rather than sharp pain. Mild bruising or swelling at the injection sites is common and usually clears within a few days. Because the plasma comes from your own blood, allergic reactions are unlikely. Call us if you notice anything that worries you after treatment.
What does the P-Shot cost?
The P-Shot is elective and is not usually covered by insurance. We go over the price at your consult, along with how many sessions your plan includes, so you know the total before you decide. You can also ask when you book.
Common questions about the P-Shot
Is the P-Shot the same as the Priapus Shot?
Yes. P-Shot is the short name for the Priapus Shot. Both mean PRP injected into the penis.
Does the P-Shot hurt?
We use topical numbing first. Most men feel pressure and a quick sting with each injection.
How long does it take?
Usually under an hour, including the consult, blood draw, PRP prep, numbing, and injections.
How many sessions will I need?
Many men do two or three sessions about a month apart. Your provider sets the number based on your goals and how you respond.
Does the P-Shot increase size?
Some men report a small change in girth or firmness, but lasting enlargement is not guaranteed and should not be the reason to book.
Can I get the P-Shot if I take ED medication?
Often yes, and some men use both. Tell your provider every medication you take, including anything for erections, blood pressure, or blood thinning, so we can plan safely.
Is the P-Shot FDA approved?
The P-Shot is not an FDA-approved treatment for erectile dysfunction. The equipment used to prepare PRP is cleared for medical use, but using PRP for erections is considered off-label and experimental by urology guidelines.
