WHAT IS PROTOX™ (P-TOX™)?

PROTOX™ (P-TOX™) is a minimally invasive treatment that involves injecting Botox® into the corpus cavernosum of the penis on each side of the muscle. The corpus cavernosum forms most of the penis and contains vessels essential for getting an erection.

Botox® injections can relax the penile muscles, thus allowing the penis to fill with blood more effectively and stimulate growth. The PROTOX™ (P-TOX™) procedure improves erectile function by increasing blood flow to the penile tissues, enhancing oxygen delivery, increasing nitric oxide production, and promoting new nerve and blood vessel growth.

The recommended dose for optimal results is around 100 units, although this may differ depending on the individual. Dr. Dima administers this procedure using a topical anesthetic, which is very well-tolerated by patients and causes no discomfort.

PROTOX™ (P-TOX™) in Reston VA: Revolutionary Men’s Sexual Wellness Treatment at WellMedica

What Is PROTOX™ (P-TOX™)?

PROTOX™ (also referred to as P-TOX™) involves the careful injection of Botox® into the corpus cavernosum—the two chambers of the penis that are critical for achieving an erection. These injections help relax the smooth muscles, allowing better blood flow and oxygen delivery, thereby improving erectile function and potentially stimulating natural tissue growth.

This procedure does not require surgery or long recovery periods. It’s a safe, in-office treatment performed at WellMedica in Reston VA, tailored for each patient’s unique anatomy and wellness goals.

How Does PROTOX™ Work?

The science behind PROTOX™ (P-TOX™) is both fascinating and effective. Here’s how it works:

  • Muscle Relaxation: Botox® relaxes the penile smooth muscles, making it easier for blood to fill the erectile tissue.

  • Enhanced Blood Flow: With more relaxed muscles, the corpus cavernosum can accommodate more blood, strengthening the erection.

  • Oxygen and Nitric Oxide Boost: The improved circulation also delivers more oxygen and stimulates nitric oxide production, which is essential for erections.

  • Tissue Regeneration: Over time, PROTOX™ may promote neurogenesis (nerve growth) and angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), further supporting long-term sexual health.

Why Men in Reston VA Are Choosing Protox

The rise in awareness and demand for men’s wellness treatments is changing the way men take care of their bodies and sexual health. With discreet, effective solutions like PROTOX™ (P-TOX™) available at WellMedica, men in Reston VA now have access to innovative therapies that deliver tangible results—without the stigma or side effects of traditional ED drugs.

Whether you're facing mild dysfunction or simply want to enhance performance, PROTOX™ offers a science-backed path to improvement.

Yes PROTOX™ (P-TOX™) can certainly help with ED. After the Botox® injection, the penile muscles are left in a relaxed state with a wider diameter, so they can carry a greater volume of blood, thereby improving erections. This also increases the girth, followed by the length, of the penis.

There are published studies that have demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of Botox® in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED).  These studies have confirmed that injecting Botox® into the erectile tissue of the penis works much like Viagra®, but by a different pathway, and has a synergistic, restorative effect like the P-Shot® (which Viagra® does not).

When Botox® alone is injected into the penis, it is the PROTOX™ (P-TOX™) procedure. By combining both Botox® and the P-Shot® together, the results are far more lasting than Viagra or Cialis, which have half-lives of a few hours. Dr. Dima has been doing this procedure since 2015 with great results.

PROTOX™ (P-TOX™) is a more long-term solution for erectile dysfunction. Results will vary depending on the severity of your ED, but even men who haven’t experienced any improvement with medications like Viagra report great success following this treatment. Results can take 7 - 14 days to start working, and after 6 weeks (or sooner), patients may experience the full effect.

Results should last up to 4 months, but maintenance injections are required for long-term results. You should be able to reduce the dose or time between treatments because the erectile tissue will regenerate and become more responsive over time. As with any Botox® treatment, the longer it is consistently used the longer it lasts.

  • Minimally invasive treatment.
  • Allows the patient to experience a more rapid and sustained erection.
  • Helps grow healthier penis tissue and length.
  • Treats numerous sexual problems.
  • Feel more confident and more sexually responsive.
  • Benefits have been reported in men who have not seen success with other treatments.
  • The effects of these treatments last longer than oral medications such as Viagra.
