Menopause is a normal phase of life, not a medical condition — although it may seem like one. Hormone replacement therapy restores your biological balance and provides plenty of other perks that help you get through the change.
Sex is one of life’s greatest pleasures — it strengthens relationships, relieves stress, burns calories, makes babies, and feels fantastic. So when you have a problem performing, it affects all aspects of your life.
We understand the frustration of erectile dysfunction (ED) and its far-reaching impact. We also know that most men would rather not talk about it, let alone come in for an examination and treatment. But here at Alabama Vein & Restoration Medspa, our team of medical professionals treat this common problem every day with compassion, dignity, discretion, and skill.
Dr. Charles Hunt II is our experienced physician who specializes in phlebology; cardiovascular, thoracic, and general surgery; and vein disorders. His expertise is especially helpful if you’re suffering from erectile dysfunction due to vascular issues or Peyronie’s disease, which he successfully treats with Zimmer ZWave. Here’s how it works.
When you’re about to have sex, you become aroused through visual and mental sensory stimuli, and your brain and nerves trigger the muscles in your penis to relax. This opens the floodgates and allows blood to rush in and get trapped in the corpora cavernosa, one of the chambers in the shaft of your penis. Voila! — you have an erection.
However, if blood flow is hindered for some reason, you may not be able to get or maintain an erection, a condition you know as erectile dysfunction.
Several factors can lead to erectile dysfunction, including mental health issues, stress, medications, and hormonal imbalance, but one of the most common culprits is low blood flow.
Your penis may not be getting an adequate supply of blood due to an injury to your pelvis, advancing age, clogged arteries, or Peyronie’s disease (a buildup of scar tissue that results in a curved penis and painful erections).
Dr. Hunt uses shockwave therapy called Zimmer ZWave to increase the blood flow to your penis. We know that sounds a bit alarming, but there is nothing shocking about this treatment other than the results — it’s completely noninvasive and painless.
We simply position the applicator over your penis while the device emits high-energy radial shockwaves that penetrate your skin and target the deeper tissues in your penis. The effect is two-fold: first it repairs damaged blood vessels, and then it promotes the generation of new blood vessels.
Most men notice a significant improvement after just one session, but you may need 5-8 treatments for full effect. Our patients report:
There’s no reason to suffer through a so-so sex life when the answer is so safe and simple. To learn more about Zimmer ZWave or the complementary PRP shot that sends rejuvenating and healing properties directly into your penis, contact us at any of our five locations, including Hoover, Fultondale, Oxford, Clanton, and Tuscaloosa, Alabama — and make some waves in the bedroom!

Healthy habits can encompass many areas of your life, from what you eat to how much sleep you get, and while taking care of your mind and body can help you feel better, it’s often challenging to stick to a new routine.

If you spend a few decades on planet Earth, you’re bound to end up with some spots on your skin. Age and sunlight leave little patches of clumped melanin, often called sun spots or age spots. But you can wipe them away with advanced laser therapy.
