From the Guidelines
The use of a penile extender like RestoreX has been shown to have a positive correlation between time used and length gained, with consistent daily use being key to preventing penis length loss and potentially gaining length. When considering the use of such a device, it's essential to follow a recommended protocol, such as daily use, to achieve optimal results. While the provided evidence [ 1 ] discusses the use of a Vacuum Erection Device (VED) rather than a penile extender specifically, the principle of consistent use to prevent length loss and potentially gain length can be applied. Some key points to consider when using a penile extender include:
- Consistency of use, with daily sessions being more effective than occasional longer sessions
- Gradually increasing traction force as tolerated to stimulate tissue growth
- Combining the device with other therapies, such as vacuum devices or PDE5 inhibitors, may potentially enhance results, though this is not definitively proven
- Individual factors, such as age, underlying condition, and tissue elasticity, can affect outcomes
- Most gains in length are typically seen in the initial months of use, with continued use leading to diminishing returns. It's crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for individual needs.
From the Research
Correlation Between Time Used and Length Gained with RestoreX Penile Extender
- The study 2 found that using the RestoreX penile traction therapy device for 30 to 90 minutes per day resulted in significant improvements in penile length, with a mean gain of 1.5 cm at 3 months.
- Another study 3 reported that men who used the RestoreX device for 30 to 90 minutes per day for 6 months experienced a mean gain of 1.6 cm in penile length.
- A follow-up study 4 found that men who used the RestoreX device for 30 minutes daily for 6 months experienced a mean gain of 2.0-2.2 cm in penile length, and 61% had curve improvements.
- While these studies demonstrate a positive correlation between using the RestoreX penile extender and length gained, they do not provide a direct correlation between the time used and length gained.
- However, the study 4 suggests that using the device for at least 15 minutes per day may be necessary to achieve significant length gains, with an as-treated analysis showing 2.0- to 2.3-cm length gains in men who used the device for ≥15 minutes/day.
- Other studies 5, 6 have also reported positive results with penile extenders, including the AndroPenis device, with mean gains in penile length ranging from 1.2 to 1.7 cm after 6 months of use.
