I see US 2000 SE is 1 MHz and 1,6 W/cm2.
Trapezius: If you are referring to the “Gainswave” treatments being used for ED, the ultrasound devices may be cousins, but I think distant cousins. The Gainswave “shock wave” treatments use an expensive machine usually only doctors’ office would buy, and they do charge high prices for 6-12 treatments. The true Gainswave-type devices use sound waves similar to those used to break up, for example, kidney stones, but at a lower level/intensity for the penis. The theory is that these shock wave create “cavitation” which sounds dangerous, but really means it creates a physical change within that allows for neovascularization to occur and, over a number of treatments, can improve blood flow related issues. This has been studied and seems to be proven to have good effect.
There are other devices marketed for “home” use that don’t use sound waves, rather they use a piston-type strike mechanism that does create a shock wave, but as I understand it, at a more superficial level than reached by the sound waves devices. They also do appear to work to an extent (the Rocket I think is such a device).
Then, there are others who are selling basically the US 200 device for $1,000 to unsuspecting buyers, saying/representing they are “Gainswave” type devices. They are not, obviously. B-Potent is one seller out there doing this, and I fell for it. You make your initial payment, get what you then understand is a $150 dollar ultrasound wand, can try to get a refund, but they keep $300 as the charge for pointing out you’ve been scammed. As always, buyer beware.
This said, I do suspect that ultrasound with the US 2000 or similar can have good effect on ED. It only stands to reason that treatment that increases blood flow, uses heat, and applies a type of sound wave would have positive effect. I have read some who swear this type of ultrasound helped with curvature as well by breaking up plaque.
But, I am not a doctor….
