Transparent pricing: what’s included
We keep costs clear and predictable. Your fee for Rezūm Water Vapour Therapy covers:
Surgeon’s professional fee: Treatment planning, and the actual procedure.
Anesthesia/sedation: Procedural sedation performed by a licensed anesthesiologist
Procedure room & nursing: sterile supplies, cystoscopic equipment, monitoring, and recovery.
Recovery: Nursing care, post procedure care.
Rezūm system charges: generator use and the required single-use handpiece.
Post-procedure care — catheter insertion and supplies, plus your standard follow-up visit.
If additional imaging, labs, urine culture, pathology, or extra follow-ups are needed, we’ll review these with you in advance.
Hidden or Variable Costs to Consider: While most of your expenses are bundled into the base fee, there are a few things that could add to your total cost:
Travel or parking: If you’re not local to Toronto or Vaughan
Time off work: While recovery is generally quick, some men take a week to rest as they can find it difficult to work with the catheter.
Supplies at home: You may need over-the-counter items like adult pads (just in case), or post-procedure pain relief
Most men return to light activities within 48–72 hours, with light activity encouraged early on. Once the catheter is removed, some urinary symptoms, like frequency or urgency, may linger for a couple of weeks but typically improve steadily. Full results, like stronger flow and reduced urgency, are often felt within 4–6 weeks, but full effect will take up to 6 months as the tissue remodels.
