TOPIC: A Fascinating Alternative to Phalloplasty

I agree that there is alot more research to be done. There are only 3 studies that have looked at PRP in the penis. 2 showed benefit. The third from the University of Miami also showed benefit but their control group showed the same amount of benefit so they concluded that there was no benefit. But maybe they should have figured out why their control group showed a benefit. My paper will be the 4th (when it is published), but clearly more work needs to be done. Sadly, funding these studies is an issue.

yes, lots of variables-- volume of penis (can vary by a factor of 3), age, platelet extraction, processing, and injection. Would more blood centrifuged for longer
result in better PRP characteristics per ml extracted ? how much better? The only fairly obvious one to me is adjusting injected volumes to penis volume.

I've had two PRP sessions so far, with gainswave done right after. Though I didn't purchase the RestoreX device until a few days ago, I still did the recommended pumping with Dr. Kaplan's device (provided by the P-Shot provider) and stretching with a different ADS device. No significant growth BUT I definitely notice more of a "hang" now (I'm a grower). I stopped pumping regularly 2 weeks ago and the hang is still there.

I found out my IGF-1 levels are pretty low, so I wonder if that means the PRP wasn't rich enough which is why I didn't see much growth thus far. Also not using the RestoreX device may have contributed.

Once I have more money, I will do the rest of the PRP shots (which are very expensive), this time with the restorex (which is expensive). I will post results here.

Wish me luck.

The P-Long protocol uses 60cc blood draw and a double spin centrifuge to maximize platelet count

The RestoreX device is essential. The data is far superior to other traction devices.
Make sure you are taking AFFIRM 2 tablets twice a day to boost circulation and night time erections. www.affirmscience.com/products/copy-of-a...-shockwave-treatment
Make sure you use a double spin PRP with 60 cc blood draw

How much is it exactly?

I typically tell Sponsors I don't recommend posting their prices real-time on the forums (even though they are permitted to if they so choose) because they are subject to change (if prices increase in a couple of years, what's stopping someone from pointing to this thread in the future?). An exception would be promotions or discounts, since they very clearly state being a limited time only.

Also, given that this Protocol is provided by different Practitioners around the Country, you may see variations in their own cost to you.

Your best bet is to find a P-Long provider near you and reach out for a quote.

I also had exosomes put into my PRP. I have my second procedure in a few weeks. I have been pumping and Hanging.

What did you pay for the exosomes and where did you have it done?

Sacramento area California. I paid the doctors price 270 per shot for exozomes. Any doctor can add them they just have to purchase them. A lot of P shot practitioners do it such as the NOVUS center in SOCAL. P shot is the original PRP for penis. Lots of places do it. P Long is the protocol that goes along with the peer reviewed study and NO2 supplements and stretchers. I am seeing a p long doctor and I asked him for Exozomes. I am not using their stretcher because my Girth is too big to fit in it because I have fillers. I am Hanging and pumping instead. I am also manually stretching using my hands.

Thanks. My doc only uses a single cell line exosome and charges $5K for it, so I passed. Might find another spot.

BTW, I'm ~7" Girth and I fit in the RestoreX. It's a tight flattening up at the top but it does work with enough 2" self-adhesive tape.

I will check the restorex out thank you for letting me know.

Will anyone be posting before and Afters. As I haven't been able to find any for the p-long protocol.

@PLong : Thank you for continually answering our questions here! As you can see, there is a lot of interest in the P-Long question.

Could you please clarify if the protocol in your clinical study is still the recommended protocol, or if it has been tweaked since?
From abstract on PubMed: "RestoreX traction device was utilized for 20 minutes, twice daily, and a Dr Joel Kaplan vacuum erection device was applied with 5-10 mmHg pressure x 12 minutes (1 min x 2, 5min x 2). Oral nitric oxide boosting supplementation was with AFFIRM, consisting of 3 gm L-Citrulline and 1 gm beet extract."

Does it matter at what time of day the RestoreX and pump are used? Does it matter which one is done first?

Affirm is 2 tablets, correct? (1 in the morning and 1 in the evening).

Thanks!


Affirm (L-citrulline-based NO booster) is 1 tablet twice daily, correct?

Hello Phalloguy, The timing of the RestoreX and pump is just morning and night. I think that things will work better if you do the RestoreX first. AFFIRM is 2 tablets twice a day to give you 3 g of L-Citrulline.

@PLong one more question. Are the PRP injections just done on the shaft? I had one yesterday and the doctor said it does not get injected into the head. He did two injections on each side of the shaft, 4 total, but not on the glans.

Also, the doctor wants to use GainsWave along (to help with E.D.). Does it matter if GainsWave is done *after* the P-Shot, or should it be done before?

Thanks!
