What to expect before, during and after your ApexRF treatment

Before your Treatment

Preparation: 

  • Shave treatment area 48 hours prior
  • Arrive with clean skin after washing with antibacterial soap
  • Review medications with provider
  • Discuss treatment goals and expectations
  • You’ll review & sign consent forms discussing: treatment area, number of sessions (4-8 sessions), frequency (1-2 weeks apart), potential side effects (mild redness/swelling), and expected results timeline (6-12 weeks).

Good Candidates: 

  • Vascular ED
  • Diabetes Related ED
  • Age-related erectile changes
  • Mild to moderate ED

Contraindications: 

  • implanted defibrillator/pacemaker
  • Metal implants in area
  • Active skin infections in area
  • Skin cancer history in area
  • Poorly controlled diabetes
  • Recent surgery in area (within 3 months)

During your Treatment

The Procedure:

  • Duration: 15-20 min per session
  • Sensation: Warm and relaxing (tissue heated to 43 degrees C/109 degrees F)
  • Pain Level: None to minimal, no anesthesia needed
  • Clear ultrasound gel applied for smooth application
  • Treatment areas: penis shaft, root, pubic region & perineum
  • Movement: slow continuous hand-piece motion
  • Note: some patients may develop an erection during treatment (especially with mild ED), this is a normal physiologic response and doesn’t prevent completion.

Technology and Safety:

  • Bipolar RF (radiofrequency) with 3 electrodes for uniform heating
  • Built in temperature sensors monitor constantly
  • Auto-adjusting energy when desired temperature reached
  • Anti-arching technology for safety
  • Safe for all skin types

How it Works: 

  • Angiogenesis – stimulates new blood vessel growth
  • Neocollagenesis – triggers collagen remodelling
  • Result – improved blood flow and strengthened tissue structure
  • Comfort – If you feel excessive heat, your provider can increase movement speed, decrease RF energy, or adjust temperature settings. Communication throughout ensures your comfort.
