The procedure requires no anesthesia. Some patients may experience some discomfort the first time the probe is inserted, but the actual treatment is not painful.  Many patients report that it feels like a gentle vibration.

Patients receive three treatments spaced six weeks apart, each taking less than five minutes to perform.

When will I see results? How long does it last?

Most patients feel improvement after the first treatment, although the procedure calls for three treatments, generally spaced over 18 weeks.

Patients should expect to come back annually for a maintenance treatment.*

What are my limitations post-procedure?

Patients should refrain from sexual activity for 2-3 days. Your doctor will determine a post-procedure regimen that is right for you.

The price for the initial three treatments is $1800, paid at the time of the first treatment.

A single maintenance treatment, which may be needed every 12 – 18 months, is $600 per treatment.

Will the procedure be covered by insurance?

No. A processing code for insurance has not been established.
