Sexual wellness and Alma DUO in St. Louis

Alma DUO uses low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LI-ESWT). The acoustic waves gently disrupt the delicate micro-vasculature, prompting the body's natural wound-healing response to grow new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis. The improved blood flow means tissues receive the oxygen and nutrients they need to function.

Besides stimulating blood flow, Alma DUO increases the sensitivity of the nerve endings, which can improve arousal and satisfaction.

For men, Alma DUO is a shockwave treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) and sexual health. It stimulates blood flow, enhances nerve sensitivity in the penile region, and aims to restore natural function and bring back spontaneity, without pills or ointments.

Testosterone also helps regulate libido. For testosterone pellets, see hormone therapy.

For women, Alma DUO improves blood flow and enhances nerve sensitivity in the clitoral region, with improvement in arousal. It is the same non-invasive, needle-free treatment, with no pills or ointments and no downtime.

Low libido and vaginal dryness are also among the menopause symptoms we address with bioidentical hormone therapy.

The benefits of Alma DUO go beyond sexual wellness. Studies have shown that acoustic shockwave therapy has alleviated urinary incontinence for many people who had been living with it for years.

Alma DUO also works alongside other treatments, like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, toward revitalizing intimacy and quality of life.

Treatments take roughly 15 to 20 minutes in our clinic. Using a handheld device, your provider delivers focused shockwaves to the treatment area. Patients often describe the sensation as mildly tingly but comfortable, without anesthesia.

Because the therapy is non-invasive, no downtime is required and you can return to your daily activities right away. For optimal results, six treatments are recommended, 2 to 3 days apart, so the full course is delivered over 14 to 18 days.
