The P-SHOT® in Albuquerque, NM
Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment for Male Sexual Health
The P-SHOT® uses platelet-rich plasma from your own blood to stimulate tissue regeneration and new blood vessel growth in erectile tissue. This treatment addresses the vascular and cellular mechanisms behind erectile dysfunction, reduced sensitivity, and post-surgical sexual impairment. Albuquerque is home to Kirtland Air Force Base, and the active-duty and veteran community in the surrounding area includes men who have experienced cardiovascular, hormonal, and neurological changes during service that post-service medical care often addresses incompletely. Men in this patient population who want a private, physician-guided evaluation of sexual health function outside of standard care pathways find Enhanced Wellness NM is one of the few integrative options available locally.
Enhanced Wellness NM provides the P-SHOT® in Albuquerque, NM, in a private, physician-supervised setting through a functional medicine model that evaluates the underlying contributors to your symptoms before treatment begins.
What Conditions Does This Address?
Erectile dysfunction
This treatment targets the vascular component of ED by stimulating new blood vessel formation and improving blood flow in men for whom reduced penile vascularity is a primary driver.
Decreased sensitivity
Growth factors in platelet-rich plasma support nerve tissue function and sensitivity, helping address the reduction in penile sensation that commonly develops with age or after certain medical treatments.
Peyronie's disease
Platelet-rich plasma injections have been used to soften fibrotic plaques behind the penis in Peyronie’s disease, reducing curvature and the pain that accompanies the condition.
Post-prostatectomy rehabilitation
Men recovering from prostate surgery often experience significant changes in erectile function. This treatment supports the healing and regeneration of erectile tissue in the post-surgical period as part of a structured rehabilitation protocol.
Sexual health optimization
Men without a specific dysfunction who want to improve sensitivity, performance, or resilience as part of a broader regenerative approach to promote sexual wellness for men.

Are recovering from prostate surgery and want to support erectile tissue rehabilitation.

How Does a P-SHOT® Session Work?
Consultation
Our team will review your health history, medications, and sexual health concerns to confirm that the treatment is appropriate and to identify whether additional evaluation is needed before proceeding.
Blood draw and PRP preparation
A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm and placed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. Preparation takes about 15 minutes and is done in the clinic.
Topical anesthetic
A numbing cream is used on the treatment area and left to take full effect for 20 to 30 minutes. This step is what keeps the procedure comfortable.
PRP injection
The prepared plasma is injected into specific anatomical locations using a fine needle. The procedure takes a few minutes once anesthesia has taken effect. Most patients report minimal discomfort.
Recovery
No downtime is required. Most patients can return to their usual routine the same day, with specific activity guidance provided before they leave the clinic.
Before and After Your P-SHOT® Appointment
Before Your Appointment
- Drink adequate water in the 24 hours before your appointment to support the quality of the blood draw.
- Avoid blood-thinning supplements such as high-dose fish oil, aspirin, or ibuprofen for five days prior to if your provider clears this.
- Bring a list of the medications you are currently taking and discuss history and prior treatments for erectile dysfunction with your provider.
- Expect the appointment to run approximately 60 to 75 minutes from start to finish.
- Raise any questions about the procedure, sensations, or aftercare before the session begins.
After Your Appointment
- Most patients return to normal activity, including light exercise, the same day.
- Follow the specific guidance that your provider recommends for the first 24 to 48 hours.
- Results develop over four to twelve weeks as platelet-released growth factors drive tissue regeneration.
- Mild temporary soreness or swelling may occur and resolve quickly.

frequently asked questions
How long does it take to see results from the P-SHOT®?
Most patients notice initial changes in sensitivity and erection quality within four to eight weeks. More significant improvements develop over three to six months as the platelet-released growth factors drive tissue regeneration. Results may vary depending on the severity of the underlying condition and whether additional treatments are combined.
Is the P-SHOT® a safe male enhancement treatment?
This method uses your own blood-derived plasma, eliminating the risk of an allergic reaction. As a male enhancement treatment, it works through the body’s own biology rather than synthetic compounds, making it distinct from over-the-counter products. Side effects are generally limited to mild temporary soreness at the injection site.
How does the P-SHOT® compare to Viagra or Cialis?
PDE5 inhibitors manage erectile dysfunction in the moment but do not address the vascular or tissue-based changes driving the condition. The Priapus or P-SHOT® targets the tissue itself, aiming to improve baseline function rather than managing each episode pharmacologically.
What is the Priapus Shot®?
The Priapus Shot® is the formally registered name for the P-SHOT®, developed by Dr. Charles Runels. The two terms refer to the same physician-administered PRP procedure. Both names appear in clinical and patient-facing contexts, and Enhanced Wellness NM follows the protocol as developed and trademarked by the Cellular Medicine Association.
