Anne Truong MD explains how low-intensity focused shockwave therapy works on penile tissue. Sound waves create shear stress in blood vessel walls, causing minor damage that triggers repair and vasodilation, widening the vessels.

How does low intensity focused shockwave work is that it uses sound wave energy, and when that sound wave touches the penis muscle, it then goes to the microtubules, which are the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the cell, which then induces somewhat of a shear stress that activates sensors in the cells as well as causing some endothelial micro trauma. And, and because of the energy of the shock wave that enters into the tissue, you have this small blood vessel micro trauma and the shear stress, which then stimulate blood vessel to the endothelium to have endothelial repair and then eventually vasodilatation or opening up.
