Treatment Overview
At The Face Institute, we are introducing P-Tox, a cutting-edge injectable treatment designed to improve erectile function by relaxing blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the penile tissue. This innovative approach to treating erectile dysfunction (ED) uses botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox) to optimize blood circulation, making it easier to achieve and maintain firm, long-lasting erections.
P-Tox is an excellent option for men experiencing mild to moderate erectile dysfunction who want a non-surgical, medication-free solution. It can be used alone or in combination with other regenerative therapies such as the P-Shot for enhanced results.
How P-Tox Works
P-Tox works by injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific penile muscles to relax them. This process allows blood vessels to expand, increasing blood flow to the erectile tissue and improving function. Unlike traditional ED medications that temporarily enhance blood flow, P-Tox offers long-lasting improvements without the need for on-demand medication.
Step 1: Targeted Injection
A small dose of botulinum toxin is carefully injected into key areas of the penile tissue. This relaxes vascular muscles and enhances circulation.
Step 2: Increased Blood Flow
As the blood vessels relax, more blood is able to enter the erectile tissue, leading to stronger, longer-lasting erections.
Step 3: Gradual Enhancement and Optimization
Over the next few weeks, the improved circulation and relaxation of penile muscles contribute to better erectile function with natural, spontaneous performance.
Scientific Credentials and Studies on P-Tox
Recent studies in sexual medicine have demonstrated that botulinum toxin injections can significantly improve erectile function. A 2022 study published in the Journal of Urology found that men who received P-Tox injections experienced a 30% increase in erectile firmness and duration, with effects lasting up to six months.
Botulinum toxin has long been used in vascular medicine to improve circulation, and its benefits for erectile dysfunction are now being recognized as an effective, safe alternative for men who do not respond well to traditional ED medications.

Before & After
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a Good Candidate for P-Tox?
- Men experiencing mild to moderate erectile dysfunction
- Those looking for a medication-free alternative to ED pills
- Individuals who want long-lasting improvements in blood flow and erectile function
- Men who have not responded well to oral ED medications
How soon will I see results?
Most men notice improved erectile function within two to four weeks, with peak results at six weeks. The botulinum toxin works by relaxing the smooth muscle in the penis, allowing better blood flow. As circulation improves, erections can become stronger, longer-lasting, and more spontaneous.
You may also notice improved responsiveness during arousal and less reliance on external stimulation. Individual results vary, but consistency improves with maintenance sessions and healthy lifestyle habits.
Does the treatment hurt?
The procedure is virtually painless, as a numbing cream is applied before injection. Patients often describe a slight pressure or pinch, but discomfort is minimal and brief. The entire process takes less than 30 minutes, and you can return to normal activities shortly after.
There is no need for sedation or downtime, making it a convenient lunchtime procedure. Mild redness or swelling at the injection site is rare and typically resolves within a few hours.
Can I combine this with other ED treatments?
Yes, P-Tox can be combined with the P-Shot or shockwave therapy for comprehensive erectile restoration. These treatments work synergistically to improve blood flow, sensitivity, and tissue regeneration.
Your provider will create a personalized plan based on your medical history and goals. Combining therapies can enhance both short-term performance and long-term outcomes. It’s especially effective for men who haven’t had success with oral medications alone.
How long do results last?
Results typically last four to six months, with maintenance sessions recommended twice a year. Over time, repeated treatments may improve baseline erectile function and reduce dependency on medications. Some men opt for more frequent treatments to sustain optimal performance and confidence.
Scheduling follow-ups before results taper can help maintain consistency in outcomes. Your provider can guide you on the best treatment interval based on your progress and goals.
Will I still need ED medications?
Many men find that they no longer need ED pills or can use them less frequently after P-Tox treatment. Since P-Tox enhances natural erectile function, it may reduce your reliance on drugs like Viagra or Cialis.
This can be particularly beneficial for men who experience side effects from oral medications. In some cases, smaller doses of ED medication may still be used for added support. A personalized treatment plan can help you transition away from medications if desired.
Is P-Tox safe for everyone?
P-Tox is generally safe for most men experiencing erectile dysfunction, especially those who haven’t responded well to other treatments. However, it may not be suitable for men with certain neurological conditions, bleeding disorders, or active infections.
A thorough medical consultation is necessary to evaluate your eligibility and ensure the treatment aligns with your health status. Your provider will review your history, medications, and lifestyle to tailor the safest approach for you. When administered by a trained professional, P-Tox has a strong safety record with minimal risk of complications.
How does P-Tox actually work for ED?
P-Tox involves injecting botulinum toxin into the penile tissue to relax smooth muscles and improve blood flow. This enhanced circulation helps achieve and maintain stronger, more natural erections. Unlike pills that offer short-term effects, P-Tox targets the root of the problem—blood flow and muscle tone.
It essentially “deconditions” the tissue, making it more responsive during arousal and spontaneous erections. The treatment is backed by clinical studies and is becoming a popular option in functional sexual health.
What should I expect after the procedure?
There is little to no downtime after a P-Tox session, and you can resume most daily activities immediately. You may be advised to avoid sexual activity, intense exercise, or alcohol for 24 hours. Most patients don’t experience side effects, but mild swelling or bruising at the injection site can occasionally occur.
You’ll start noticing subtle changes in function within a couple of weeks, with full effects at six weeks. Your provider may schedule a follow-up to assess your response and adjust your treatment plan if needed.
