Steps to make informed decisions about penis enlargement

  1. Research the source: Start by examining the credibility of the source providing information about penis enlargement methods. Read articles that have been reviewed by doctors or other qualified health professionals. These are commonly found on reputable medical websites and in peer-reviewed journals, and trusted healthcare professionals who offer evidence-based insights are also good sources.
  2. Beware of outlandish claims: Some products, like *Upsize™, work really well, really fast. You can see before and after medical photos for yourself, here. Be cautious of other companies’ or individuals’ exaggerated claims. Some penis-enlargement methods require time, dedication, and consistency to achieve meaningful outcomes. Avoid products or services that guarantee unrealistic gains with minimal effort or cost.
  3. Evaluate scientific evidence: Seek out hard facts, including scientific studies and clinical trials supporting the effectiveness of various penis-enlargement methods. Products and procedures with real results are supported with sound evidence and undergo rigorous testing to validate their claims.
  4. Check for FDA Approval: Verify whether the product or procedure has received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or other regulatory authorities. FDA-approved devices and treatments have undergone thorough evaluation for safety and efficacy. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, which are used in Upsize™ treatments, have an extensive history of use and an impeccable safety record. Topical creams and oral supplements, often containing vitamins, minerals, herbs, or hormones, are advertised with claims of enlarging the penis. Yet, none have been proven effective through scientific research, and certain ones may pose health risks.
  5. Consult Healthcare Professionals: Seek guidance from qualified healthcare providers, such as urologists or sexual health specialists, who can offer personalized advice and recommendations based on your individual needs and medical history. At Thunderbird Men’s Health, procedures are done solely by Dr. Jordan Glenn, using Upsize’s proprietary cannula technique to ensure safety and efficacy. The procedure has a high safety profile and is reversible. Reach out today with your questions or to set up a consult with Dr. Glenn.
  6. Read Reviews and Testimonials: Take the time to read reviews and testimonials from individuals who have tried the product or undergone the procedure. Also consider both positive and negative experiences to gain a comprehensive understanding of potential risks and benefits.
  7. Trust Your Instincts: Listen to your instincts and use caution if something seems too good to be true. Trustworthy providers prioritize transparency, honesty, and patient safety, whereas scams often rely on deception and manipulation to lure unsuspecting consumers.

Use caution when considering penis-enlargement treatments

Following the guidelines above, you can distinguish between legitimate information and scams in the penis-enlargement industry. These steps ultimately help you make informed choices that prioritize health and well-being. Prioritize safety, efficacy, and credibility when exploring penis enlargement options.
