Xiaflex for Peyronie's Disease

Peyronie’s disease is a condition where scar tissue causes painful curvature of the penis. One promising new treatment for Peyronie’s disease is XIAFLEX®, a medication administered by your board-certified urologist that can achieve relief.

What is XIAFLEX?

Peyronie’s disease is caused by a buildup of scar tissue (collagen) that causes the penis to severely curve when becoming erect. XIAFLEX is an injectable medication made from enzymes that target scar tissue buildup. With a series of injections and reshaping therapy performed by your urologist, XIAFLEX can metabolize the scar tissue and reduce curvature. XIAFLEX is one of the most effective treatment options for Peyronie’s disease and does not require surgery or downtime.

How Does Xiaflex Treat Peyronie’s Disease?

Xiaflex (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) is the first and only FDA-approved non-surgical treatment for Peyronie’s disease. Xiaflex works by breaking down the collagen buildup in the penile plaques, reducing curvature and improving penile function. It is a minimally invasive alternative to surgery, offering effective results for men suffering from Peyronie’s disease.

Why Choose Xiaflex for Peyronie’s Disease?

• Non-Surgical Solution: No incisions or invasive procedures required

• FDA-Approved: Proven safety and effectiveness

• Minimal Downtime: Quick recovery with noticeable results over time

• Customized Treatment Plan: Tailored to the severity of your condition

Is Xiaflex Right for Me?

XIAFLEX is best for patients who have the following symptoms:

• A Peyronie’s plaque, or a palpable bump of scar tissue under the surface of the skin
• An erection that curves at least 30 degrees

Your urologist can discuss your symptoms and determine whether XIAFLEX is the best treatment option for you. There are many other treatment options available for Peyronie’s disease, and you can determine the right ones during your consultation.

XIAFLEX Results and Recovery

Most patients require a series of treatments with XIAFLEX – usually one to four treatment cycles spaced about six weeks apart. This is because it takes time for the collagenase in XIAFLEX to break down scar tissue. You’ll continue to perform straightening therapies at home according to your urologist’s instructions – it’s very important to your treatment’s success to continue doing them. There’s no recovery involved with XIAFLEX treatments, but it’s important to abstain from any sexual activity between treatment cycles. XIAFLEX is one of the most effective treatments available for Peyronie’s disease, and you can achieve great results with the help of your urologist.
