What Is Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?
Erectile dysfunction is when getting or maintaining an erection becomes difficult. It can happen occasionally, especially under stress. But when it becomes a regular issue—whether physical or psychological—it’s time to address it.
Some men experience it only during certain situations. Others notice a gradual decline. Either way, ED is common, and more importantly, it’s treatable.
What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here. In our clinical experience, it’s often a mix of factors. Sometimes it’s blood flow. Sometimes it’s stress, or a dip in hormones. And sometimes, the body’s just giving you a signal that something’s off.
Here are a few common causes we see:
- Cardiovascular issues (including high blood pressure)
- Type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance
- Low testosterone or other hormone imbalances
- Anxiety, depression, or performance pressure
- Alcohol, smoking, or recreational drug use
- Side effects from certain medications
- Poor sleep, inactivity, or excess weight
We don’t make assumptions. We investigate—then treat the root.
Signs and Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction
Men describe ED in different ways. Some say they can’t get firm enough. Others say they lose the erection halfway through. Here’s what often brings them in:
- Struggling to get or keep an erection
- Reduced sex drive or interest
- Stress or anxiety during intimacy
- Relationship tension linked to performance
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone—and it’s worth looking into.
Who should consider Erectile Dysfunction (ED) treatment?
You don’t have to be in crisis to get help. At SKIN111, many men come to us early—before things get worse. Others come after trying pills that didn’t deliver lasting results.
You should consider a consultation if:
- You’re dealing with consistent or recurring ED
- You have diabetes, high blood pressure, or other chronic conditions
- You’ve been diagnosed with low testosterone
- You’re just not feeling like yourself in the bedroom
You deserve to feel in control again. We’re here to help you get there.
How is Erectile Dysfunction diagnosed?
Every journey starts with a quiet, one-on-one consultation. You’ll meet with a male wellness doctor who takes the time to listen. No rush. No judgment.
Here’s what the process might include:
- A detailed look at your medical and sexual history
- Physical examination (if needed)
- Hormonal and metabolic blood work
- Penile Doppler or ultrasound (in select cases)
The goal is to understand what’s happening—not just on the surface, but beneath it.
When to see an Erectile Dysfunction specialist?
If the issue has lasted more than a few weeks—or it’s affecting how you feel, how you connect, or how you see yourself—it’s time.
ED can also be a sign of something deeper, like cardiovascular or hormonal imbalance. The sooner you act, the sooner we can restore performance—and peace of mind.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) FAQs:
How long does ED treatment take to show results?
Most men begin noticing improvement within 3-6 sessions of PRP or shockwave therapy. Hormonal treatments may take a few weeks to rebalance.
Are there side effects to ED treatments?
Side effects are rare. You may feel slight discomfort or bruising after PRP, but most men resume normal activity immediately. Shockwave therapy is completely non-invasive.
Do I need long-term treatment?
Some men benefit from ongoing maintenance every few months. Others resolve the issue within a short protocol. It depends on the cause and your body’s response.
Will changing my lifestyle really help?
Absolutely. What you eat, how you move, how you sleep—it all matters. We help make the changes practical and sustainable.
Is ED more common with age?
ED becomes more common with age, but it’s not inevitable. Many men in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s maintain strong function with the right care.
What is PRP therapy for erectile dysfunction?
We draw a small sample of your blood, isolate growth factors, and re-inject them into key areas to rejuvenate erectile tissue. It's natural, safe, and clinically backed.
How long does PRP or shockwave take to work?
Typically, men see improvement between sessions 3 and 6—with benefits continuing over the weeks that follow.
