Why this better than surgery/radiation?

• Maintain prostate and healthy tissue
• No general anesthesia is needed
• No long-term side effects, such as sexual or urinary complications
• Faster Recovery, Less Disruption; I can get back to my normal life quickly—without weeks of downtime—because Focalyx is minimally invasive and done in an outpatient setting.
• Preserves My Quality of Life; My urinary and sexual functions are protected, so I can keep enjoying the activities and relationships that matter to me.
• Lower Risk of Complications; I avoid many of the risks that come with major surgery or prolonged radiation therapy, like incontinence or severe fatigue.
• Peace of Mind Without Over-Treatment; I feel confident knowing the treatment is precise, personalized, and backed by clinical evidence—without unnecessary harm to healthy tissue.

How does it compare in recovery time, cancer suppression, pain score?

For a radical prostatectomy, most patients spend 1-2 nights in the hospital, take 2-4 weeks to move around comfortably, with a full recovery taking up to 2 months. Compare this to Focalyx, which requires no hospitalization and full recovery within a week, and it’s no question why patients are happier with our treatment methodology!

For a radical prostatectomy, pain is generally moderate in the first few days and then decreases over the next 1–2 weeks:

• Immediately post-surgery: Patients often report pain levels of 4–6 out of 10 (moderate) in the hospital, managed with prescription pain medication.
• First week at home: Pain usually drops to 2–4 out of 10, often controlled with over-the-counter pain relievers.
• By 2–3 weeks: Most patients experience minimal pain (1–2 out of 10), though discomfort with certain movements or sitting for long periods can persist.
• Some lingering discomfort can last several weeks, especially at incision sites or in the pelvic area.

Focalyx pain scores average less than 3 during the procedure, as this pain typically subsides within an hour of the procedure. Very rarely do we see someone with anything more than a tender perineum more than 2 days after procedure.

Side effects?

The whole point of Focalyx is to reduce side effects!

How does Focalyx preserve quality of life and enhance treatment precision compared to traditional methods?

• Maintains the prostate, thus preserving quality of life (sexual functions, ejaculatory functions and improved urination functions).
• It's a very non-invasive treatment so there are no traces of incisions or scars and the procedure is performed through the perineal access.
• It's a personalized treatment; no two cancers are the same.
• There is no hospitalization; the procedure can be performed in a doctor's office or as an outpatient procedure.
• Fast recovery.
• Avoids the typical infections of transrectal biopsy, while being more accurate by reaching places in the prostate that cannot be biopsied through the rectum. It only lasts 30 minutes and the patient recovers completely that day. It also avoids the need for subsequent prostate biopsies. This "GPS-like" accuracy in locating prostate lesions from Focalyx® Bx opens the door to targeted therapies that aim to destroy the cancer while saving healthy tissue and function.

Why Choose Focalyx?

• Big one: You are not burning any bridges!
• It is a very non-invasive treatment, the treatment is done in the doctor's office and is done in a transperineal manner.
• Greater accuracy and precision. In each of the treatment phases we use our Focalyx® Fusion technology that allows the superposition of the images obtained from the magnetic resonance and the ultrasound. This is obtained from the highly accurate 3D image of the patient's prostate, in which it is possible to locate suspicious lesions with great precision
• It keeps the prostate, i.e. the procedure only acts on areas where there are cancerous lesions.
• Fast recovery. It is a procedure that in its treatment phase can last approximately 90 minutes. The patient only requires local anesthesia and can go home.
• Follow-up. Focalyx® offers its patients a Focalyx App specially designed to maintain each patient's medical information, schedule appointments, and maintain direct contact with the treating physician, so the patient takes control of his case.
• The most important thing. It keeps your integrity and your masculinity intact. You keep your prostate and your sexual and urinary functions unaffected and you can enjoy your life to the fullest.

What are the emotional and physical benefits for patients?

Emotional Benefits:

• Reduced anxiety: Because Focalyx targets only the cancerous lesion, patients often feel more confident about preserving their health without undergoing radical treatments.
• Improved quality of life: The minimally invasive nature usually means fewer side effects, which can reduce stress related to long-term complications.
• Not burning any bridges: If the cancer persists, you can continue with this ablation process, or level up in more aggressive treatment options, but you cannot go backwards.
• Faster return to normal life: Quick recovery helps patients get back to their routines, work, and family life sooner, boosting overall emotional well-being.
• Less fear of treatment side effects: Compared to traditional surgery or radiation, knowing the treatment is precise and less aggressive can ease worries.

Physical Benefits:

• Minimally invasive procedure: Smaller tissue damage means less pain and faster physical recovery.
• Short recovery time: Most patients resume normal activities within days, with minimal hospital stay.
• Preservation of healthy tissue: Limits damage to non-cancerous prostate areas and surrounding structures, preserving urinary continence and erectile function.
• Lower risk of serious side effects: Compared to radical prostatectomy or radiation, there’s generally less risk of incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and bowel issues.
• Clinically proven: Dozens of research articles produced over 10 years of clinical research has proven that the Focalyx way is the right way!
• Outpatient procedure: No lengthy hospitalization reduces physical strain and risk of hospital-related complications.
