Treating Peyronie’s Disease with Non-Surgical Options
Peyronie’s disease is a condition that affects men, causing the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis. This scar tissue can lead to a curvature of the penis during an erection, which can cause pain, discomfort, and difficulties in sexual activity. While some curvature is natural, Peyronie’s disease can significantly impact a man’s confidence and quality of life if left untreated.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of Peyronie’s disease, seeking professional treatment is essential. At Front Door Medspa®, we offer innovative, non-invasive treatments to help men regain confidence and improve their quality of life. Contact our top-rated medspa in Rochester, MI, by calling 248-BESTSPA (237-8772). We’re always happy to meet new and returning patients from Rochester Hills, Troy, and Pontiac, MI.
Symptoms and Causes of Peyronie’s Disease

- Reduced penis length or girth
Causes
The exact cause of Peyronie’s disease isn’t always clear, but it’s often linked to:

Stages of Peyronie’s disease
Peyronie’s disease has two stages:
- Acute Peyronie’s disease. The acute stage lasts between six and 12 months. During this period, scar tissue forms under the skin of your penis, causing it to curve or change its shape another way. It may be painful when your penis is erect or soft (flaccid).
- Chronic Peyronie’s disease. The scar is no longer growing during the chronic stage. The curvature won’t get any worse. Pain usually goes away during the chronic phase, but it can sometimes continue, especially when you have an erection. Erectile dysfunction (ED) may develop during this phase.
Who Does Peyronie’s Disease Affect?
Anyone with a penis can get Peyronie’s disease. However, the following risk factors may increase your chances of getting it:
- Age. You’re more likely to get Peyronie’s disease as you get older.
- Genetics. You may be more likely to get Peyronie’s disease if you have a biological family member who has it.
- Connective tissue disorders. Connective tissue disorders that have a greater risk of Peyronie’s disease include Dupuytren contracture, plantar fasciitis, and scleroderma.
- Erectile dysfunction (ED). People with diabetes-related ED are four to five times more likely to get Peyronie’s disease.
- Prostate cancer. Surgical treatments for prostate cancer increase your risk of Peyronie’s disease.
- Autoimmune diseases. If you have an autoimmune disease like lupus, you’re more likely to get Peyronie’s disease.
Contact a health care professional if you’re dealing with Peyronie’s disease. Our Rochester medspa offers non-surgical options if you’ve been diagnosed with Peyronie’s disease.
Peyronie’s Disease Treatment Options
P-Shot®
The P-Shot® (Priapus Shot) is a revolutionary treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) extracted from your own blood. PRP is rich in growth factors that stimulate tissue repair, increase blood flow, and improve erectile function.
Benefits of the P-Shot® may include:
- Promotes natural healing of scar tissue
- Reduces penile curvature
- Improves sensitivity and sexual performance
- Enhances overall penile health
Bulltox®
Bulltox® is a specialized use of Botox for men to relax the penile tissue, helping to alleviate the discomfort caused by Peyronie’s disease. It can also improve the appearance of the penis by reducing asymmetry caused by scar tissue.
Bulltox® may improve:
- Tightened tissues by relaxing them
- Penile flexibility and blood flow
- After-care downtime as it’s a minimally invasive procedure
- Other positive effects as research is ongoing
Photobiomodulation Therapy
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) uses low-level laser light to penetrate deep into the penile tissue. This non-invasive treatment promotes cellular repair and reduces inflammation.
Benefits include:
- Improves blood flow
- Stimulates cellular healing
- Reduces pain and inflammation associated with Peyronie’s disease
- Promotes tissue regeneration
Penile Traction Device
A penile traction device applies gentle, consistent stretching to the penis, which can help straighten the curvature of the erect penis caused by Peyronie’s disease.
Benefits often include:
- Non-surgical solution
- Gradual and consistent results
- Enhances length and symmetry
- Relatively low-cost and well-tolerated by vast majority of patients
Dermal Fillers
For men seeking aesthetic improvements, dermal fillers can be used to enhance the appearance of the penis. This option is particularly effective for those who have lost girth or want to reduce the visual impact of Peyronie’s disease.
The benefits may include:
- Immediate results
- Enhanced penile symmetry and girth
- Promoting tissue regeneration and health
- Complementing other treatments
Prevent Peyronie’s disease
While it may not always be possible to prevent Peyronie’s disease entirely, taking certain precautions can help reduce the risk of developing this condition:
- Avoid Penile Trauma: Be cautious during physical activities and sexual intercourse to prevent injuries to the penis. Use protective measures when engaging in sports or other activities where injury is a risk.
- Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and avoid smoking or excessive alcohol consumption. A healthy lifestyle supports overall vascular health and reduces inflammation.
- Seek Immediate Treatment for Penile Injuries or Penile Pain: If you sustain an injury to your penis, seek prompt medical attention to minimize the risk of scar tissue formation.
- Practice Safe Sexual Techniques: Avoid aggressive or awkward positions during sexual intercourse to reduce strain or bending of the penis.
- Manage Health Conditions: Conditions such as diabetes or hypertension can contribute to the development of Peyronie’s disease. Work with your healthcare provider to manage these conditions effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Peyronie’s disease can be painful. Pain most commonly occurs during the acute stage. But it may continue in the chronic stage. The severity varies from person to person.
The FDA does not regulate your body promoting healing by your own platelets or photo-biomodulation to stimulate cells and the procedure is therefore not covered by insurance. Pills, medications, enzyme injections, and surgery may be covered as the standard of care. If these are not covered, however, or are not satisfactory, we may be able to help. The earlier the treatments are started the better the outcome, but we have also had success even after the initial phase. Individual results may vary. We offer flexible payment plans to make treatment accessible.
