Reclaim Your Sexual Health at Calla Genics in Royal Palm Beach
You know the saying that time waits for no person? As you get older, it becomes more evident that it's true. One day you can wake up, grab a shower, and hit the basketball court all day without any problems. The next, you're sore in places you never thought were possible. Many men in their 20s feel like they're bulletproof, but like everyone, it's only a matter of time before age plays a factor in their daily life.
While backaches and sore joints can be treated with ice and ibuprofen, there's another symptom of aging that isn't as easy to address: erectile dysfunction. For most men, hearing those two words back-to-back sends shivers down the spine. Lacking the ability to perform in the bedroom is a horrible thought. Still, it's not uncommon - over 18 million men suffer from ED in the U.S. Unfortunately, many men who have erectile dysfunction keep their issues private, making life miserable for themselves and their partners. Luckily, those days are over, and more men are discovering new ways to reclaim their youth and performance in the bedroom.
Sure, it's true that time waits for no man, but treatments like Gainswave therapy in Royal Palm Beach, FL, turn back the clock with amazing effectiveness. If you're ready to reignite that special spark when the time is right, Calla Genics is the clinic you need to visit for long-term results.

Reshape Your Sex Life with Gainswave Therapy from Calla Genics
Can we be honest? Talking about male sexual health can feel a tad taboo, even in today's day and age. That's doubly true when a man's sexual performance comes into question. If you are a male and you feel the same way, don't worry - we get what you're going through. Fortunately, you don't need to feel embarrassed or timid about your perceived deficiencies for long. What you're experiencing is perfectly normal, and our team of ED specialists is here to help.
If you're reading this, chances are you're thinking about or have already been to your primary care doctor. While that's never a bad idea, many docs are prescribing men medications that just aren't effective. Sure, the "little blue pill" may work for a while, but for how long? Is there a tolerance involved? What about the side effects?
If you're a man who doesn't want to put foreign chemicals in your body or suffer through uncomfortable side effects, we've got great news. There's a revolutionary solution to conditions like ED and Peyronie's disease. It's called Gainswave treatment, and it's changing the way men think about sexual health.
Unlike commonly prescribed ED treatment options, there is no risk of surgery or drugs associated with Gainswave. Instead of chemicals or invasive procedures, Gainswave uses acoustic wave technology to boost sexual performance and erectile strength, giving men more confidence when they need it most.
Gainswave, which has been used across the globe for more than a decade, is backed by science and proven to rejuvenate vasculature in male erectile tissue. This exciting procedure actually boosts blood flow to the penis without any pain or recovery time. In fact, many men can pop into a Gainswave treatment center on their lunch break and return to work without taking any time off.
But the benefits of Gainswave don't stop there. Because this treatment breaks up micro-plaques and increases nitric oxide production, it enables new blood vessel and collagen formation. That's incredible news for men suffering from Peyronie's disease, which we'll cover soon.
The effects and advantages of using Gainswave often include: Treatment for ED and Peyronie's Disease
- Improved Length and Girth
- Enhanced Sexual Pleasure
- Improved Length and Girth
- Better Penis Circulation
- Increased Blood Flow
- Less Downtime Between Orgasms
Wondering how Gainswave therapy works? It's simpler than you might think.
How Does Gainswave Therapy in Royal Palm Beach Work?
Is Gainswave too good to be true? It might seem like it is, but in reality, these treatments are backed by research and shown to be effective.
Gainswave therapy works by addressing the most common reason for ED, which is blood flow. Constant blood flow is crucial for maintaining strong erections. However, as men age, blood vessels in the penis begin to break down and fill with micro plaques. Gainswave's low-intensity pulse waves help re-open closed blood vessels and disrupt plaque, giving men across the country hope for healthy sexual intercourse. To add to the list of Gainswave's benefits, most men don't have to worry about expensive insurance claims since the procedure is surgery and drug-free.
At Calla Genics, our patients love Gainswave because it's effective, quick, and gets straight to the underlying cause of ED. Plus, with its ability to be combined with treatments like the P-Shot, it can solve more than just ED issues.
Calla Genics' Gainswave treatments feature:
- Low-Intensity Shockwaves
- No Pain
- No Needles
- No Pills
- Little-to-No Downtime
- Short Procedure Times
How Much Money is Gainswave Therapy in Royal Palm Beach, FL?
The Cost of Gainswave therapy varies from patient to patient. Typically, pricing depends on how many treatments a patient needs to get long-lasting relief from their ED symptoms. Generally speaking, patients can expect anywhere from six to twelve Gainswave treatments for optimal results. Remember - Gainswave therapy has been shown to last for months, making it a long-term alternative to much more expensive ED prescriptions.
Is There Any Research Supporting Gainswave Therapy?
Numerous research studies are showing the long-term effectiveness of shockwave therapies like Gainswave. Regarding Gainswave, protocols for the therapy have been developed in over 40 research studies that support how effective Gainswave can be for male sexual health.
Request InformationWhat is Calla Genics' P-Shot in Royal Palm Beach, FL?
As men grow older, they face a host of issues that can affect their sex life and overall confidence. Often, men of a certain age suffer from softer erections and aren't able to last as long in bed. In the past, men going through these issues relied on substances and procedures that worked some of the time but never provided long-lasting results. Thankfully, those days are over.
Like Gainswave therapy, Calla Genics' P-Shot is a painless, non-invasive, long-term solution to common sexual performance problems that millions of men face. Also called the Priapus Shot, this therapy consists of platelet-rich plasma, also called PRP, in the medical world. The P-Shot uses your body's proteins and natural growth factors from your own blood to stimulate cell regeneration, new blood vessel production, and new collagen production.
The P-Shot treats a wide range of sexual and urinary issues in men and has been shown by doctors to:
- Boost Vitality
- Increase Erection Functionality
- Enhance Erection Firmness
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Improve Overall Sexual Performance
- Treat Peyronie's Disease

What to Expect from P-Shot Therapy
Calla Genics' P-Shot procedure starts by extracting the patient's blood and concentrating the blood's healing factors (like stem cells and other growth factors). From there, the patient's white and red blood cells are separated in a centrifuge, which spins the blood at high speeds until it separates. From there, the patient's concentrated healing factors are injected into their penile region.
Calla Genics' P-Shot treatment is hassle-free and pain-free and can usually be completed in less than an hour right here at our P-shot clinic in Royal Palm Beach.
P-Shot Therapy and Botox for Erectile Dysfunction
For men with serious cases of erectile dysfunction, Calla Genics offers our P-Shot with the added bonus of Botox for increased effectiveness. We know what you're thinking: "Isn't Botox meant for women? I don't care about the wrinkles on my face; I just want help with my ED."
While it's true that Botox is most commonly associated with female anti-wrinkle treatment, researchers believe it can help with male ED as well. Botox—which is technically a bacterial toxin with the name botulinum—smooths out wrinkles by blocking nerve impulses that cause muscle contractions.
That same mechanism may help men achieve erections. Botox can interrupt the release of norepinephrine, which restricts blood flow. But it doesn't affect the release of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a crucial element in achieving an erection since it relaxes smooth muscle and causes blood to engorge the penis.
Because of the nature of Botox, research shows that it may give men enhanced erections for months. Older men with particularly severe ED may see the most significant improvements. As an added bonus, Botox may work for males who have physiological erectile dysfunction (caused by blood flow issues) and psychogenic ED (triggered by physiological factors).
Want to learn more about adding Botox to P-Shot treatment? The Calla Genics customer service team is ready to help answer all of your questions.
P-Shot Treatment for Peyronie's Disease
While the P-Shot can work wonders for men experiencing performance and erectile issues, the P-Shot has other uses. One of the most important and revolutionary issues the P-Shot treats is called Peyronie's disease.
Found in nearly 10% of all men in the U.S., Peyronie's disease is a common problem that can affect a man's sexual activity and sex life. Essentially, Peyronie's disease is the medical label used to describe an abnormal curve or bend in a patient's penis. Though it's very common for a man to have a slight bend in their penis, men suffering from Peyronie's disease experience significant pain, especially when trying to achieve an erection. Because of the nature of the disease, Peyronie's is linked to male erectile dysfunction.
Peyronie's disease is often caused by a previous injury or damage to a man's penis via sexual intercourse or physical activity. Some of the most common symptoms of Peyronie's disease include:
- Painful Erections
- Unusually Soft Erections
- Extreme Penis Curvature
- Significant Difficulty Having Sexual Intercourse
- Lumps Found in the Penis
Living with Peyronie's disease makes life quite difficult. Unfortunately, we're discovering that this malady is more prevalent than we once thought. That's probably because more and more men are coming forward to talk about their ED. We understand if you're suffering from Peyronie's disease but are reluctant to speak to a professional due to embarrassment. However, if you're sick and tired of living with Peyronie's and want to reclaim your sex life, Calla Genics' P-Shot may be the long-term solution you need.
The alternative to the P-Shot involves "traditional" treatments like penile stretching devices and penile implants, which sometimes involve vacuum technology and invasive procedures. If you're cringing a little just reading those words, Calla Genics' P-Shot is the way to go for Peyronie's disease treatment.
How Fast Does the P-Shot Work?
Results vary for every patient, but in general, many men discover relief soon after their first P-Shot treatment. If you're a man struggling to achieve and keep an erection, Calla Genics' P-Shot should help you almost immediately. Other enhancements, like more penis girth and size, can take longer.
What Side Effects Should I Know About?
Because our P-Shot treatment in Royal Palm Beach uses a patient's own blood, there is no risk for harmful side effects or allergic reactions. It's a pain-free treatment that we perform right here at our male sexual health center, and is usually over in 30 minutes or less.
How Much Does Calla Genics' P-Shot Cost?
Pricing varies depending on our patient's needs. Compared to other erectile dysfunction treatments, P-Shot therapy is relatively inexpensive. Since there are no oral medications or pills to take, patients don't have to worry about refilling prescriptions. The P-Shot is also much less expensive than surgical options, which require multiple doctor's appointments, follow-ups, and more.
The Benefits of Combining Gainswave and P-Shot Therapy in Royal Palm Beach, FL
Studies published via the International Society for Sexual Medicine found that Gainswave treatments display significant, positive results that can last as long as 12 months. And while low-intensity shockwave therapy is proven to provide significant improvement in erectile function, Gainswave doesn't have to be used all on its own.
For the most effective male enhancement treatment, many men are combining Calla Genics' Gainswave therapy with our P-Shot treatments. These two revolutionary ED treatments feed off one another to provide a doubly-beneficial effect. In medicine, we call it a synergistic effect.
The platelet-rich plasma from the P-Shot can help open up a patient's blood vessels in their penis. This can actually enhance the effectiveness of Gainswave therapy. Conversely, Gainswave treatments can help stimulate healing factors used in the P-Shot, essentially sending PRP deeper into a patient's damaged penis tissue.
Our Bocox™ Treatment
It is recommended to receive this treatment by a specially trained physician much like Calla Genics' very own Dr. Tiffany. A single Bocox™ treatment can combat erectile dysfunction, ridding your need of having to take Viagra or any surgical procedures.
Request InformationHow Bocox™ Can Help You!
Here at Calla Genics, we have now been doing the P-Shot® procedure for years with much success and with a significant body of medical research that supports the procedure. In the studies below, you will notice that we have added units of BOTOX, which the recommended dose showed effectiveness up to 6 months with maximal effect at 6 weeks.
The mechanism of action of BOTOX in the penis seems to be partly due to the relaxation of the smooth muscle of the arterioles, resulting in increased blood flow (and even in a small increase in length in one study). This increase in erection firmness by increasing arterial flow is exactly how Viagra and Tri-mix injections work. In two separate studies, the injection of BOTOX was helpful to some men (not all) for whom Viagra and Cialis had quit working.
BOTOX, at much higher doses, has been used for 2 decades for various problems with an extremely safe history. The P-Shot 100™ procedure is a specific method of injecting blood-derived growth factors, including platelet-rich plasma (or platelet-rich fibrin matrix) and botulinum neurotoxin, to improve the health of the penis and enhance the size or function of the penis. The procedure includes patient selection, method of preparation of materials, method of injection, aftercare, and more.
Suppose someone wants Botox alone injected into the penis. In that case, we have the Bocox™ (BoPriapus) procedure: a specific method of injecting the corpus cavernosi of the penis with botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT)–BOTOX– to improve penile tissue health and to enhance erectile function or penis size.
Our Guarantee: You will see results. If you are not pleased with the results of your procedure for any reason, you can get a full refund for the procedure for up to 3 months.

The TGI Fridays located at 580 North State Road 7 in Royal Palm Beach, Florida was one of 36 TGI Fridays that have closed across the United States because it was designated as an underperforming location.

'When the state is doing well financially, we should make sure the resources we got are helping people live in an affordable Florida,' Patronis says
LAKE WORTH BEACH, Fla. — Florida's chief financial officer visited Lake Worth Beach to promote the My Safe Florida Home program and to say more money for homeowners is on the way.
"When the state is doing well financially, we should make sure the resources we got are helping people live in an affordable Florida," CFO Jimmy Patronis said at Royal Palm Aluminum, a business that installs impact windows and doors.
Patronis said he's hoping for $200 million to go into the program this year for home inspections and grants of up to $10,000 to harden homes against storms.
It has been touted as one of the best ways for homeowners to lower insurance premiums.
Lawmakers are currently looking at putting $100 million into the program, which ran out of money late last year due to its popularity.
Heather Mattadeen, a homeowner who attended Wednesday's event, said she managed to get into the program early last year and secure money for new doors.
"My premium went down about $400, which is better than nothing," Mattadeen said.
Across town in a neighborhood east of Interstate 95, many said there is no relief from rising insurance.
Homeowner Wade Hitchcock said he sunk thousands of dollars into a new roof and windows and his insurance still went up.
"All they keep saying, 'It's coming. It's coming,'" Hitchcock said. "I'm almost 63. Will I see it before I croak? I don't know."
However, Patronis insists Florida is on a path to better days with litigation reforms and is positioned better than other states also having insurance issues.
"People are hurting right now, and so we start making some changes from a state perspective that forces their hand," Patronis said

The developer of a long-vacant lot in West Palm Beach’s booming south end said he is nearing a deal with a boutique grocery store to open at a key site considered the gateway to the city from Lake Worth Beach.
Patrick Koenig, co-founder of Flagler Realty & Development, said he is under a strict nondisclosure agreement that bars him from naming the store, but that the company’s real estate division has approved the location and a lease is being negotiated.
The grocer would occupy an estimated 15,000 square feet on nearly 7 acres that is also proposed for an eight-story apartment complex with 358 units, including 90 for workforce housing.
Koenig said the grocery store has asked to make the announcement when the agreement is finalized.
“I can’t even hint about who it is,” said Koenig, whose company is working with Woodfield Development to build the apartments and retail space at 8111 S. Dixie Highway.
The project, which faces a final rezoning and site plan approval Feb. 20 by the City Commission, will include an improved landscaped area along the C-51 canal for a public walkway and a dock for launching kayaks and paddleboards.
Koenig said he has also agreed to do roadway improvements and add bike lanes along adjacent Gregory Road and build a $20,000 Ben Carson Reading Room at South Olive Elementary School.
The plan has received overwhelming support at city meetings with about 25 people speaking in favor of it at a Feb. 5 commission meeting. They lauded the addition of more workforce housing and the creation of an estimated 570 jobs and said they hoped it would spur the same commercial projects in the south end as the CasaMara luxury apartments did along Dixie Highway closer to downtown.
Design shops, a Common Grounds Brew & Roastery coffee house, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Joseph’s Classic Market and Pink Steak restaurant are among new retail businesses that have opened near the apartments since they started leasing in 2021.
“This was a thriving area back in the 50s and 60s when I grew up and I look forward to having activity there again,” said Ray Dorsey about the 8111 S. Dixie Hwy. project at the Feb. 5 meeting.
Still, a handful of people spoke against the planned 358 units saying they were in favor of an original design for 210 units, which included 52 reserved for workforce housing. The project is in the popular South of Southern Boulevard, or SoSo, community.
“It was a great presentation for 210 units, we all liked the 210 units,” said Matt Luciano, who lives in the south end and is running against West Palm Beach Commissioner Christina Lambert for her District 5 seat in the March 19 election.

Richard Pinsky, president of the South End Neighborhood Association (SENA), said an October vote by about 200 residents found 60% opposed to the larger development. The SENA board had previously endorsed the plan at 210 units, but voted to withdraw that approval after the community vote.
Pinsky said he’s concerned the plan hasn’t received appropriate vetting following the decision to increase the number of units by 70%. Scrutiny is especially warranted considering the future of Palm Coast Plaza is unknown, he said. The 65-year-old plaza, which is directly north of 8111 S. Dixie and is anchored by a Winn Dixie grocery store, was bought in 2022 for $24.7 million by Johnston Capital Partners.
“All I know is we are trying to protect our little bit of south end, which is getting very tony and very cool, but we are protective,” Pinsky said.
The pandemic-triggered migration to Florida has boosted a revitalization in the south end of the city. Because the area is not a historic district, homes can be razed and rebuilt with a more modern aesthetic. Design shops and new restaurants are opening along South Dixie to cater to those buyers.
“I’ve lived here for a long time and the traffic has just gotten horrendous,” said south end resident Richard Brown.
City officials are particularly interested in the project because it is a first impression for people driving north on Dixie Highway into the city. It is also on land the city purchased in 2012 for $2.85 million. The land will be sold to the developer once the project is completed for $10.5 million.
Adding a grocery store to anchor the development was a key part of the initial pitch to the city by Flagler Development when it won the approval to do the project in 2022, but it became less certain as the project progressed.
Koenig said he felt confident about the current negotiations.

“We’ve been working to get a grocer in the site and we are optimistic that will occur,” said Harvey Oyer, an attorney representing the project at the Feb. 5 meeting. “We are hopeful we can bring confirmation about that to you soon.”
