Q. Does it really work?
A YES! By using this system, you can transfer blood from your body to the penis, form and maintain an erection (up to 30 minutes), suitable for intercourse. Medical studies show that Vacuum Therapy is over 98% successful.
Q. How does it work?
A The system has three major components: an acrylic cylinder, a pump and a tension ring. Place the penis into the cylinder, snug the cylinder up against the pelvis (base of the penis). Activate the pump, creating a vacuum. The vacuum then draws blood into the penis forming an erection. Once the erection is formed, a tension ring is placed onto the base of the penis. The tension ring maintains the erection for as long as it is left on (NOT TO BE LEFT ON LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES).
Q. Does it hurt?
A NO! There should be no pain with use of the system.
Q. Will it make larger?
A It can, this is not something that we promise, but we know from feedback from our clients, that it often does. How much? It depends on the individual and the frequency of use.
Q. If I have tried Viagra or injection treatments and they failed, will Vacuum Therapy work for me?
A YES! There are several medical studies that prove that Vacuum Therapy may work very well when other treatments have failed.
Q. Will this system work if I have heart problems or if I am on blood thinning medication?
A YES, using this system does no affect the heart rate like some medications do. This system wil work for almost all that need it.
Q. Will this system work if I am taking Viagra?
A YES, some doctors recommend using a Vacuum Therapy System in conjunction with Viagra and other medications.
Q. Does my age have anything to do with my Erectile Dysfunction?
A Age alone does not cause Erectile Dysfunction. The Vascular System transfers blood throughout the body and may have various reasons for not working the way it should, but age is not the cause.
