The Blend Institute Specialied Treatments

Erectile Dysfunction

The Blend Institute offers non-invasive technology including shockwave and vacuum erection devices to treat ED. The professionals at The Blend Institute will work with you to consider additional or alternative options including Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Thearpy, Behvarioal Therapy, and Nutrition counseling for your ED treatment plan.

blendWAVE

Experience the power of non-invasive technology with blendWAVE, a revolutionary treatment utilizing high-frequency, low-intensity sound waves to improve blood flow to the penis. Recommended by Dr. Blend, shockwave therapy stimulates the growth of new blood vessels, enhancing sexual performance in men. blendWAVE is an effective option addressing the root cause of many penile issues – poor blood flow. This all-natural, non-invasive treatment yields long-term results.

 

Vacuum Erection Devices (VEDs)

For those seeking an alternative to oral medications or unable to take them, Vacuum Erection Devices (VEDs) provide a longstanding solution. Since 1982, VEDs have assisted in treating ED. By employing a pump to create a vacuum, the device aids in achieving an erection. A constriction ring or band prevents blood from flowing back out, assisting the man in maintaining the erection. VEDs are a reliable option for ED treatment.

Sexual Dysfunction

The Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) P-Shot and O-Shot are groundbreaking cellular therapies harnessing the healing potential of growth factors and nutrients derived from your own blood. The process involves drawing a small amount of your blood, followed by the efficient separation of platelets using the state-of-the-art 60mL System. This results in a pH-balanced, high-yielding PRP shot tailored to your individual needs.

P-Shot (for Men)

Men undergoing the P-Shot receive targeted injections in specific areas of the penis. The P-Shot aims to:

  • Improve erectile function
  • Enhance sexual performance
  • Increase blood flow to the genital area
  • Promote tissue regeneration

O-Shot (for Women)

The O-Shot is designed for women and is administered to stimulate collagen production and the development of new blood vessels. This leads to increased frequency of satisfying sexual encounters. The O-Shot is strategically placed in both the clitoral area and the "O" spot inside the vagina.

TempSure - Vitalia

TempSure - Vitalia utilizes radiofrequency heat to control the temperature of targeted thermal energy applied to the tissues of the labia and/or vagina. This non-invasive therapy offers a range of desired outcomes, including:

  • Internal tightening of the vaginal canal
  • Tightening of loose or stretched labia majora
  • Improved urinary control and treatment of mild urinary leakage
  • Increased vaginal moisture and lubrication
  • Reduction of discomfort during intercourse
  • Enhancement of sensitivity, sexual arousal, and orgasm
  • Relaxation of areas that may be too tight or painful
  • Hormone-free treatment
  • No downtime

Penile Girth Enhancement

Penile Girth Enhancement is a procedure to enhance the circumference or girth of your penis, resulting in a "thicker" penis. Anyone interested in improving the size or thickness of their penis is a candidate for this treatment.
