Hi,
I paid £2900 for a course of six sessions in Richmond lasting six weeks until October. I had quite a few symptoms (major narrowing, loss of length, a 30 degree upward hinge, a 20 degree leftward hinge, a leftward twist, and a lack of blood flow that reduced expansion in the head of the penis. I was impressed with the professionalism and the willingness to explain and discuss by the doctors and it was a very comfortable experience. I paid an extra £900 for extra focus on the head of the penis to try and restore bloodflow.
Overall, it has been an improvement, though not a miraculous one. The head of the penis fills out a bit more and is much more like it was prior to this disease, and in general, my penis does look a bit healthier and more like its "normal" - can I really say it being healthy was what's "normal" anymore? - self. A significantly noticeable indentation in the side has been reduced quite a bit. The biggest change however was from my second session with Dr. Almasham, which was so immediate that only a few hours later my 30 degree upward hinge had been mostly [but maybe not entirely. I don't remember what it's meant to look like anymore] eliminated. That was the biggest result of my sessions and left me feeling very hopeful, but unfortunately it was the only large success of my course.
As someone going into it with pretty much no hope or expectations, I was very happy after that second session. Unfortunately there has not been any greater change than that and the majority of my issues remain at least partially, but at least my penis theoretically would be more suitable for actually having sex now and its nice to see it a little more normal, I guess. I've organised another consultation to try doing another one or two sessions recreating the conditions of my second and most successful session, and maybe I'll get really lucky. Ask me any questions you would like.
thanks for your post, it supports my impression that that ESWT has potential but is very hit and miss (at best, ie can be risky ). Did you get any info at all on the specifics, like, what device used, what transducer/probe type or energy per pulse. ?
Mine made it slightly worse!!!!!, but is good to know that is helping some guys out there, I'm happy for you
Here's a video from the company you mention. It might answer what your question in terms of the technology they use.

Shockwave therapy has no proven benefit specifically for Peyronies disease. Members can contact the original poster if they want more information. And I have an interest in further updates from the original poster for further improvements. I have removed the link for now.
Hi Lwillis
Sorry about that, I will be more weary in future about things like that
I can't speak for the Richmond clinic as I didn't go to that one, but I had treatment from Mansmatters at their Knightsbridge clinic. Found them to be a very genuine company who made it absolutely clear that the treatment is not guaranteed and does not work for everyone. They explained very clearly to me that it works for around 50% of people some people will get no change at all. For me my curvature decreased by around a half and has maintained, but my erectile dysfunction was fully restored. It meant I didn't have to go for surgery, which I was very happy about.
Had my final followup session yesterday. Was in there for 50 minutes, had an extra long session, now with an extra near-infrared included all for the same price of £400. That was only yesterday, but I haven't had any change from it. I think this concludes my trials of shockwave therapy and maybe at anything for Peyronie's at large. In total my cost was £4200 [higher than average by 800] and I was able to reduce my upward hinge by a total of 20-30 degrees. Other issues maintain. I'll update you here if I get any changes over the next few weeks but I think that is unreasonable to expect.
