Cavernosal Optimisation of Relaxation & Erection
CORE Therapy involves injecting a small dose of botulinum toxin directly into the erectile tissue (corpora cavernosa). By relaxing the smooth muscle within the erectile bodies, it can support improved blood flow and erectile function, and by reducing baseline muscle tone it can also lessen deeper tissue retraction, giving a more relaxed flaccid hang with modest improvements in flaccid length.
This is an off-label use of botulinum toxin, not formally approved for this indication, but supported by emerging clinical evidence and used by specialist practitioners in this field.
What It Can Address
Erectile dysfunction that has not responded well to oral medications
Reduced smooth muscle tone, which may support improved blood flow and erectile function
Increased flaccid length as a secondary benefit of smooth muscle relaxation
It is most often considered for men with anxiety-related ED, those who have not responded adequately to PDE5 inhibitors, and those seeking improvement in flaccid appearance.
The Procedure
Botulinum toxin is injected into the corpora cavernosa under sterile clinical conditions, following a penile nerve local anaesthetic block to ensure comfort. Most patients return to normal activities shortly afterwards, though sexual activity should be avoided for 3 days following treatment.
Results & pricing
Results vary between individuals and are not guaranteed. Some men notice improvement in erectile function within 2 to 4 weeks, with effects typically lasting around 3 to 6 months. Because this is an off-label treatment with an evolving evidence base, Dr Ross will discuss what is and is not known about expected outcomes during your consultation. Maintenance treatment is typically required to sustain any benefit.
Pricing: $1,500 per session.
