If you’ve heard about GAINSWave therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED), you’ve probably also encountered some mixed opinions. Maybe someone told you it’s painful, or that it only works for older men. These myths can keep you from exploring a non-invasive, drug-free option that might actually help. With so much misinformation out there, it’s time to set the record straight.
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we believe in empowering you with facts. GAINSWave is one of the many advanced therapies we offer to help you reclaim your confidence and improve your sexual health. This article dives into the most common myths surrounding GAINSWave and explains what you can actually expect from treatment.
Myth: GAINSWave therapy is painful
This is one of the most common misconceptions—and one of the easiest to debunk. GAINSWave therapy uses low-intensity acoustic sound waves that gently stimulate blood flow to the penis. These sound waves are non-invasive and targeted, meaning they don't damage the surrounding tissue or cause pain. Most men describe the sensation as a light tapping or pulsing feeling—not uncomfortable, and certainly not painful.
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we ensure optimal comfort during all treatments. Our treatments are performed by trained healthcare professionals who can also adjust the intensity based on your tolerance. Some patients even describe the sessions as relaxing.
Myth: GAINSWave doesn’t really work
Skepticism is understandable, especially if you’ve tried other ED treatments with limited success. But GAINSWave isn’t just another gimmick. It’s backed by a growing body of clinical research that supports its effectiveness. Studies have shown that sound wave therapy can improve erectile function by stimulating angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth), breaking down micro-plaque, and enhancing natural blood flow.
Unlike medications that only provide temporary results, GAINSWave aims to treat the root causes of ED. By improving vascular health and rejuvenating penile tissue, the therapy supports longer-term performance improvements. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we tailor each treatment plan based on your unique condition and goals, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
Myth: GAINSWave is a quick fix with instant results
Some men expect to see results immediately after one GAINSWave session, but like most therapies, GAINSWave requires consistency. While some patients report early improvements in erection quality or sensitivity, the benefits often build gradually over several sessions.
Genesis Lifestyle Medicine typically recommends 6 to 12 treatments, depending on your specific concerns and goals. This gives your body time to regenerate blood vessels and improve circulation. Results are also long-lasting, especially when combined with healthy lifestyle habits. Generally, the results last several months or even years, depending on individual factors.
Myth: GAINSWave is only for older men
It’s true that ED becomes more common with age, but younger men experience it too. In fact, factors like stress, anxiety, poor diet, alcohol use, and certain medical conditions can cause erectile issues at any age. GAINSWave is not age-specific—it’s health-specific.
Whether you're in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, if you're struggling with performance or sensitivity, GAINSWave might be right for you. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we conduct a thorough evaluation to understand your medical history, lifestyle, and goals. Our approach ensures that you receive safe, age-appropriate care, regardless of when ED began affecting your life.
Myth: GAINSWave is too expensive
While GAINSWave is not covered by insurance, that doesn’t mean it’s out of reach. Many men find the cost comparable to or less expensive than long-term prescriptions or injections. And unlike temporary solutions, GAINSWave aims to resolve the underlying issue.
Genesis Lifestyle Medicine offers flexible payment plans to help make treatment accessible. We view this not as a luxury but as an investment in your long-term wellness, confidence, and intimacy. When you weigh the lasting benefits against the price of ongoing medications, GAINSWave often emerges as the smarter choice.
What GAINSWave really feels like
So, what can you expect during a GAINSWave session? First, you’ll relax in a private treatment room. A handheld device is gently applied to the treatment area to deliver focused acoustic waves. The sensation is described as rhythmic tingling, noticeable but not uncomfortable.
Each session lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. There’s no need for anesthesia, no downtime, and no side effects like those associated with pills or injections. Most men return to their normal activities immediately. Some even report feeling more energized or optimistic after sessions, thanks to improved blood flow and increased confidence.
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we’ve helped countless men through this experience—and we’re ready to help you too. Our compassionate, experienced team will explain everything upfront and monitor your progress to ensure your comfort and success.
