The Nordic Method

The Nordic Method is a one‑time stem cell treatment for erectile dysfunction that uses your own cells to help repair nerves and blood vessels in the erectile tissue. The goal is to move away from managing erections with pills or devices and work toward more natural function over time.

Nordic Stem Cell is the only clinic in the world offering a stem cell treatment for erectile dysfunction backed by peer-reviewed clinical data. Our treatment is developed and validated through a Danish clinical trial at Odense University Hospital with results published in EBioMedicine (The Lancet) and The Journal of Urology. The treatment is now available to patients worldwide

A Phase 1 clinical trial using stem cells from adipose-fat (fatty-tissue) for erectile dysfunction after prostate surgery was approved by the Danish Medicines Agency.

All patients in the trial had severe ED after radical prostatectomy—complete loss of function—and had tried conventional treatments without success.

73% Recovery Rate

After a single injection of their own stem cells, 73% of continent patients recovered erectile function. Their IIEF-5 scores (international scale for measuring ED) improved from 7 (severe ED) to 17 (functional) within six months.

How It Works

  • Neuroregeneration: Repair of damaged nerve tissue
  • Angiogenesis: Formation of new blood vessels

Together, these restore the biological foundation for natural erections.

In simple terms, the treatment focuses on fixing the nerves and blood flow that erections depend on, rather than forcing a temporary response.

Our Treatment Process

A comprehensive four-step protocol designed for optimal results

Stem Cell Specialist Consultation

Comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, current condition, and treatment goals. We assess your suitability for stem cell therapy and establish baseline measurements using the IIEF-5 scale (international scale for measuring ED).

In simple terms: We review your medical history and test results to see if this treatment is likely to help you and is safe for you.

Liposuction & Stem Cell Isolation

Liposuction & Stem Cell Isolation

A minor liposuction procedure extracts adipose (fat) tissue from your abdomen. Your stem cells are then isolated and prepared in our specialized laboratory using the exact protocol validated in clinical trials.

In simple terms: A specialist removes a small amount of fat from your abdomen under anesthesia so we can isolate your stem cells.

Stem Cell Injection Procedure

Your autologous stem cells are injected directly into the penile tissue via intracavernous injection. This single-treatment procedure takes approximately 30-45 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.

In simple terms: Your own stem cells are injected into the erectile tissue in a short procedure, usually under local anesthesia.

Post-Treatment Monitoring

Structured follow-up at 3, 6, and 9 months with IIEF assessments and optional nocturnal erection monitoring. We track your progress with real data to ensure optimal outcomes and provide ongoing support.

In simple terms: We follow your progress over months because regeneration takes time, and we want to track how your erections change.

Your 2–4 day stay and recovery

Most patients complete The Nordic Method over 2–4 days in Costa Rica. The treatment day itself takes about 6 hours at the hospital and clinic. Most men are walking, using their phone or laptop, and able to do light activities the next day, with a few days of soreness around the liposuction area.

 

The regenerative effect continues over the following months, so the main “downtime” is short, but the biological repair is gradual.

Follow-Up Consultations

We are committed to tracking your recovery with real data. After treatment, patients go through scheduled follow-up consultations at 3, 6, and 9 months.

Objective Monitoring

At each consultation we measure improvement using the IIEF scale (international scale for measuring ED) from your baseline level before surgery. Patients also have the option to monitor their nocturnal erections with a device we provide (included in the treatment price), giving us actual real-time erection data to assess progress objectively.

This comprehensive monitoring ensures we can track your recovery with precision and make any necessary adjustments to optimize your outcomes.

Speak With a Specialist

Our specialist team is there to discuss and review your specific situation and whether regenerative stem cell therapy can help you restore erectile function.

How Safe Is the Procedure?

Autologous Cells = Inherent Safety

Using patients’ own stem cells—autologous cells—is inherently safe, significantly minimizing the risk of rejection or adverse immune responses.

Validated by Clinical Trials

Nordic Stem Cell is the only clinic worldwide offering stem cell therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) validated by robust clinical trials.Our clinical trial demonstrated continent men successfully regained erectile function following just a single intracavernous injection of autologous adipose-derived stem cells.

Side Effects Profile

Mild & Transient

The procedure is safe, with patients experiencing only mild and transient side effects.

Post-Liposuction:

Mild abdominal discomfort

Post-Injection:

Temporary redness or slight swelling at injection site

✓ Complete Resolution

All symptoms resolved within one month, with no long-term discomfort reported.
