P-Shot® (Priapus Shot®) in Naples, FL
A natural, physician-administered approach to restoring performance, sensitivity, and confidence.
The P-Shot®, also known as the Priapus Shot®, is a non-surgical men’s sexual health treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) drawn from your own blood to support blood flow, tissue health, and sexual function. At Dr. B in Naples, FL, the P-Shot is performed in-office by physician Dr. Michael Hellman as part of a personalized men’s health plan.
If changes in firmness, sensitivity, or confidence have you looking for a drug-free option, this page walks through how the treatment works, who it helps, what the evidence actually shows, and what to realistically expect.
Sexual Changes Are Common, and You Do Not Have to Just Live With Them
Most men notice gradual changes in performance long before they say anything about it. You are not alone, and you are not imagining it.
Men who consider the P-Shot are often dealing with:
-
Erections that are softer or harder to maintain than they used to be
-
Reduced sensitivity or less satisfying sensation
-
Concerns about stamina and confidence in the bedroom
-
Curvature or discomfort related to Peyronie’s disease
-
Wanting an alternative to taking a pill before every encounter
Erectile dysfunction is far more common than most men assume. Research suggests that between 30 and 50 million men in the United States experience some degree of ED, and the likelihood increases with age. It is common, but it is not something you simply have to accept.
There is a natural, in-office option worth understanding.

What Is the P-Shot®?
The P-Shot®, also known as the Priapus Shot, is a revolutionary treatment for men offered by Dr. Michael Hellman in Naples, FL and surrounding areas, designed to enhance male sexual health. This non-surgical procedure uses Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood to stimulate tissue growth and improve blood flow in the penis. The P-Shot® can help men achieve stronger, longer-lasting erections, increase penile size, and enhance sexual pleasure. Ideal for those experiencing erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease, or simply looking to boost their sexual performance, the P-Shot® offers a natural and effective solution. By harnessing the body’s healing capabilities, the P-Shot® promotes overall penile health and revitalization, providing noticeable results with minimal downtime. For more information, read our complete guide to the P-Shot and PRP.

How Does the P-Shot® Work?
The P-Shot® uses growth factors concentrated from your own blood to promote tissue repair and the development of new blood vessels in the treatment area, which can support erectile function and sensitivity over time. The visit is quick and requires no downtime.
The P-Shot® procedure by Dr. Hellman begins with a simple blood draw, similar to a routine lab test. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), which contains growth factors that promote healing and tissue regeneration. Once the PRP is prepared, Dr. Hellman carefully injects it into specific areas of the penis using a fine needle. The growth factors in PRP stimulate new tissue growth, improve blood flow, and promote the formation of new blood vessels. This process supports erectile function and sensitivity, contributing to overall sexual performance. The P-Shot® is minimally invasive, comfortable, and requires no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately. To learn more, read what you need to know about the P-Shot.

The sample is centrifuged to concentrate platelets and growth factors.
Comfort measures
A topical numbing agent is applied to the area before treatment.
Injection
Dr. Hellman injects the PRP into targeted areas using a fine needle.
Back to your day
There is no required downtime, so you can resume normal activities right away.

Does the P-Shot® Really Work?
Results vary by individual. Early pilot studies and clinical research suggest PRP may support blood flow and erectile function in men with mild-to-moderate, vascular-related concerns, while larger randomized trials are still ongoing. Honest expectations matter, which is why candidacy is assessed in a consultation.
PRP has an established track record in orthopedics and sports medicine, and its use in men’s sexual health draws on the same regenerative principles. A published pilot study of intracavernous PRP injections evaluated safety and erectile function outcomes in men with vascular ED, and additional research continues to accumulate. It is important to know that the P-Shot® is an off-label use of PRP and is not FDA-approved specifically for erectile dysfunction. For a balanced overview of the Priapus Shot, the Cleveland Clinic’s summary is a useful reference.
Dr. B’s approach is straightforward: the P-Shot® is offered as one tool within a personalized plan, expectations are set realistically at your visit, and it is never presented as a guaranteed cure. Many patients report meaningful improvements, and your results depend on your own biology.
Benefits of the P-Shot®
Enhanced Erections
Support for stronger, longer-lasting erections that can improve sexual performance and confidence.
Possible Increased Fullness or Size
Improved Sensitivity
Natural and Low-Risk
Because the P-Shot® uses PRP from your own blood, it is a natural treatment with a low risk of allergic reaction, and few reported side effects beyond mild, temporary swelling or bruising. To better understand the science, learn how PRP therapy works.
Am I a Good Candidate for the P-Shot®?
The P-Shot® may be a good fit for men with mild-to-moderate erectile concerns, reduced sensitivity, Peyronie’s disease, or those seeking a drug-free option, who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations. A consultation with Dr. Hellman confirms whether it is right for you.
You may be a strong candidate if you:
- Want an alternative or complement to oral ED medication
- Have noticed changes in firmness, stamina, or sensitivity
- Are managing early Peyronie’s disease and want to explore options
- Prefer a treatment that works with your own biology
- Are in reasonably good general health and do not have an active infection or certain blood disorders
The best way to know is a private evaluation, where your history and goals guide the recommendation.
P-Shot® vs. Oral ED Medication: What Is the Difference?
The P-Shot® and oral ED medications work in fundamentally different ways. Pills increase blood flow on demand for a single occasion, while the P-Shot® aims to support the underlying tissue and vascular health of the penis over time. Some men use both.
| Factor | P-Shot® (PRP) | Oral ED Medication |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Uses your own platelet-rich plasma to support tissue and blood-vessel health | Increases blood flow on demand for a single occasion |
| When you notice it | Builds gradually over several weeks | Within about 30 to 60 minutes |
| How long it lasts | May last up to a year or longer; varies by person | A few hours per dose |
| Frequency | Periodic sessions to maintain results | Taken each time, as needed |
| Regulatory status | Off-label use of PRP; not FDA-approved for ED | FDA-approved for ED |
| Often best for | Men wanting a drug-free option, or who do not tolerate or fully respond to pills | On-demand performance support |
Dr. Hellman can help you decide whether the P-Shot®, medication, or a combination is the best fit for your goals.
