At Bliss Medical Spa, we love love.
We can all agree that love involves vulnerability, intimacy, and trust. Sadly, conditions like erectile dysfunction can strain the bond of physical intimacy and emotional health in couples and individuals.
It’s estimated that 332 million people worldwide struggle with erectile dysfunction (ED). Even though many men face this prevalent issue, a majority don’t talk about it due to societal pressures.
We don’t want you to feel embarrassment when talking to us or to anyone about ED. After all, if we don’t talk about it, how are we supposed to treat it?
With so many treatments available, our team can help you regain your confidence during your intimate moments. We only ask for your trust and vulnerability so we can adequately address the issue.

What is erectile dysfunction?
ED is the persistent inability to get or maintain an erection long enough to have sex. Sure, this happens occasionally to everyone, but when it continuously interferes with your sex life, it’s time to seek help.
What causes ED?
In the past, medical professionals mistakenly believed that ED resulted from psychological problems. While this is true sometimes, it’s not always the case. In fact, the most common form of ED is a vascular dysfunction, which results from problems with the blood vessels. Other causes of ED stem from hormonal issues, trauma to the abdomen or pelvis, side effects from certain medications, or some diseases, like diabetes or obesity.

Of course, psychological factors can still impact your ability and willingness to get intimate. If you’re uncomfortable or insecure about your penis, we offer more than just treatment for ED. We can also improve girth, sensitivity, and appearance!
How can Bliss help?
Because we view ED as a medical condition, we treat it accordingly. Depending on your symptoms, goals, timeline, and budget, we can customize a personalized plan for your penile enhancement. To get started, you’ll first talk about what you’re experiencing in a consultation.
The Consultation
During your consultation, we take you to a room where you can speak privately and openly with your provider. Prepare for a comprehensive medical assessment where we’ll determine which ED treatment in OKC is right for you.
You don’t have to worry about surgical procedures. We offer minimally invasive treatments that provide long-lasting results. Depending on the root cause of your ED, we have a few different options that we can discuss thoroughly with you.
Hormone Therapy
If your ED stems from lowered testosterone levels, we can treat that using hormone therapy. As a major hormone in males, testosterone levels dramatically affect sex drive and erectile function.
As men age, their testosterone decreases in a process called andropause, affecting their libido and other aspects of their health. After the age of 40, men may start experiencing the following additional symptoms:
- Hair loss
- Decreased muscle mass
- Fatigue
- Decreased energy
- Weight gain
- And more
Younger men can also experience the symptoms listed above because of a hormonal imbalance caused by lower testosterone levels. Your hormones constantly fluctuate, so usually imbalances should resolve themselves. However, if the issues persist, you should come to Bliss for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
Although these symptoms and your declining testosterone may not always directly impact your libido, they certainly don’t help. That’s why we offer hormone replacement therapy. Sometimes, that extra boost of energy and confidence can help you perform better in the bedroom.
The BHRT Treatment Process
If you decide on hormone therapy for your ED treatment in OKC, we use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) pellets. Using plant-derived hormones, these pellets imitate the effects of your natural hormones to rebalance your body’s systems.
Hormone pellets require an incision in a discreet area, like the hip or buttocks. We first numb the area first to minimize any pain, and after inserting the pellets under your skin, we close the incision area. Your body will gradually absorb the pellets over the next several months. You can expect to see initial results in 1 to 2 weeks, and complete results will develop later.
If you don’t like the idea of an incision, you can ask your provider about other BHRT therapy options available.
Downtime
Pellets require minimal downtime. We highly recommend that you refrain from vigorous physical activity for 48 hours after your treatment. You should also avoid hot tubs, baths, or swimming pools for 72 hours.
BHRT Follow-Up
Depending on your BHRT process, you may need to visit 2 to 4 times a year, about every 3 to 6 months. We can go over your personalized treatment plan during your consultation. Pellets offer the benefits of low maintenance and minimal downtime.
Of course, sometimes your hormone levels are fine. If that’s the case, we have other options for your ED treatment in OKC.
PRP + Microneedling
Usually, when people think of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with microneedling, they think of hair restoration and an improved complexion. While this combo does effectively treat aesthetic concerns, it’s also useful for male enhancement and treating erectile dysfunction. Additionally, this treatment can address Peyronie Disease (PD), a condition that causes painful erections and abnormal penile curvature from scar tissue.
The PRP Treatment Process
PRP increases blood flow to the penis by harnessing the healing power of your own blood. After drawing a sample, we place it in a centrifuge, which separates platelets (cells that help with healing) and growth factors from the rest of your blood. These powerful healing components can stimulate blood flow and repair damaged penile tissue. Before injecting the PRP serum, we apply a topical numbing agent to reduce pain and discomfort. Then, using a microneedling device, we create tiny “micro-injuries” in the skin, allowing the PRP to penetrate deeper into your tissue.
PRP Results and Follow-Up
You might see results right away; however, most patients require several sessions to obtain optimal results. Along with increased sensitivity and stronger erections, you may even notice an increase in girth. This ED treatment in OKC works best for those with vascular or psychological causes.
Downtime
We may ask you to refrain from sexual and strenuous physical activity for 4 to 7 days. During your consultation, we can give you further instructions.
Botox
Botox’s popularity as an aesthetic treatment stems from its ability to block nerve signals that contract muscles. However, it’s more than just a wrinkle relaxer. In fact, Botox effectively treats medical conditions like excessive sweating, migraines, and TMJ, in addition to erectile dysfunction.
Penile Botox injections relax smooth muscles, thus improving blood flow. This also results in a firmer and longer-lasting erection.
The Botox Treatment Process
This procedure starts with a numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Then, we inject Botox in the penis, where it relaxes the smooth muscles and blocks norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that restricts blood flow. Following this injection, you can experience alleviated muscle tension, increased blood flow, and firmer erections.
Botox Results and Follow-Up
You should notice results from ED treatment in OKC after about 2 weeks. We recommend follow-up visits every 6 months to maintain the results from Botox for ED. With Botox treatment, you can expect to see the following improvements:
- Easier erections
- Enhanced appearance (some believe it appears longer as it hangs more freely)
- Improved confidence
Scrotox
Scrotox works similarly to Botox—however, we place the botulinum toxin in the scrotum instead of the penis. This process started as a treatment for pain in that area because it can reduce inflammation. Now, men also use it to improve other aspects of their scrotum, such as creating:
- Fewer wrinkles
- Less sweat
- More pleasurable sex
Scrotox and Botox both require no downtime, you can return to your normal activities after treatment.
All About Aesthetics
While many cases result from physical factors, sometimes psychological factors, like penile insecurity, can cause ED. Keep in mind that penises vary in appearance, and there are actually 20 distinct types.
Still, aesthetic treatments like dermal fillers can boost your confidence in your birthday suit by correcting girth, length, and curvature.
We use Juvederm and Revanesse, both hyaluronic-acid based fillers that last for up to 1 year. Fillers for your ED treatment in OKC can make the following improvements:
- Increased penile girth
- Corrected penile curvature
- Improved erectile function
- Enhanced confidence
Our bodies naturally produce hyaluronic acid to keep skin, joints, and other tissues hydrated and smooth. We use it for many aesthetic treatments because it helps skin stay plump and youthful. When used for male enhancement, it has the same effect.
Do these ED treatments have side effects?
Although we only offer safe and minimally invasive options for ED treatment and penile enhancement, you may still experience a few side effects. Still, you could expect some minor swelling, bruising, or tenderness. These symptoms should resolve themselves in a matter of a few days, and you can ice the area following your visit to control discomfort.
