Have you ever felt self-conscious about your performance or size in the bedroom? Many men quietly struggle with concerns about erectile function, penis size, or satisfaction. These challenges can lead to anxiety, low self-esteem, and strain on intimate relationships.
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we offer cutting-edge treatments like the P-Shot to help you enhance performance and increase size. In this article, we compare the P-Shot with another common male enhancement option, fillers, to help you better understand which may be the right fit for your goals.
Mechanism of action
P-Shot
The P-Shot, short for Priapus Shot, is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to stimulate tissue growth and improve blood flow in the penis. After drawing a small sample of your blood, it is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP, which is rich in growth factors. This PRP is then carefully injected into specific areas of the penis. Over time, the P-Shot promotes the development of new blood vessels, enhances nerve sensitivity, and may even encourage tissue growth in some cases.
Fillers
Penile fillers, typically made of hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible substances, work by adding volume beneath the skin of the penis. The filler is injected along the shaft to increase girth and, in some cases, enhance symmetry. Unlike the P-Shot, which stimulates biological regeneration to improve functionality, fillers provide immediate volume and visual enhancement. However, they do not address erectile function or blood circulation. Fillers are a popular choice for men seeking quick, visible changes in size without downtime.
Purpose and benefits
P-Shot
The P-Shot is meant primarily to improve erectile function, sensitivity, and performance. It is often used by men with erectile dysfunction, decreased sensation, or performance anxiety. The benefits of the P-Shot may include firmer erections, increased blood flow, and, in some cases, modest gains in length or girth over time. As a natural, regenerative treatment, the P-Shot supports overall penile health rather than focusing solely on appearance.
Fillers
Fillers are chosen primarily for cosmetic enhancement. Men who are concerned about penis size ( especially girth) often opt for fillers because they deliver instant results. While they don’t improve function or sensitivity, fillers can enhance confidence related to appearance. This can have indirect benefits on self-esteem and sexual satisfaction. Some patients also choose fillers for aesthetic refinement, correcting asymmetry or irregularities.
Procedure and recovery
P-Shot
The P-Shot procedure takes 30-45 minutes and is minimally invasive. After drawing your blood and preparing the PRP, a numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the injections. Most patients report little to no pain and can return to normal activities the same day. Since it uses your body’s own cells, there’s virtually no risk of allergic reaction. Some results may be noticeable within a few weeks, with full benefits typically developing over 2 to 3 months.
Fillers
Filler procedures also take under an hour and involve the injection of the chosen material beneath the penile skin. A topical anesthetic or nerve block is used to keep the procedure comfortable. There may be some swelling, tenderness, or bruising afterward, but downtime is usually minimal. The results are visible immediately, although it may take one to two weeks for the filler to fully settle. Filler treatments are performed in-office and require no surgery.
Duration of results
P-Shot
The effects of the P-Shot can last 12 to 18 months, depending on individual health, lifestyle, and whether maintenance treatments are followed up with. Because it works by regenerating tissue and improving blood circulation, the results can be long-lasting and even cumulative with multiple sessions. Many men report ongoing improvements over time.
Fillers
The longevity of penile fillers depends on the type of filler used. Most hyaluronic acid fillers last 9 to 12 months before gradually being absorbed by the body. Some longer-lasting or semi-permanent fillers may provide results for up to two years. However, repeat treatments are needed to maintain the desired appearance. Fillers do not provide progressive benefits.
Safety and side effects
P-Shot
Since the P-Shot uses PRP derived from your own blood, it carries an extremely low risk of allergic reactions or complications. Common side effects include minor swelling, redness, or sensitivity at the injection site, which typically resolve within a few days. When performed by experienced professionals, the procedure is considered very safe and well-tolerated.
Fillers
Fillers are also generally safe but may carry higher risks compared to PRP. Potential side effects include swelling, bruising, irregular contours, or, in rare cases, vascular complications. Choosing an experienced, medically trained provider is essential to minimize risks and ensure the filler is placed evenly.
Which option should I choose for male enhancement?
P-Shot
If your primary goal is to improve erection quality, sensation, and overall sexual function, the P-Shot is likely the better choice. It promotes long-term regeneration, offers natural results, and may even provide a modest size enhancement. It’s especially beneficial for men with erectile dysfunction or reduced sensitivity. The P-Shot also works synergistically with other therapies offered at Genesis.
Fillers
If you're looking for immediate girth enhancement, fillers may be the right fit. They provide fast, visible results and can be tailored to achieve a desired aesthetic. However, they don’t address underlying performance issues. Fillers are ideal for men who are confident in their function but want a visual boost. They can also be combined with other treatments for a more comprehensive enhancement plan.
Whether you seek better performance or enhanced size, both the P-Shot and fillers offer viable male enhancement options, each with its own advantages. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we take the time to understand your goals and guide you toward the safest, most effective solution.
