SCROTAL NEUROTOXIN (SCROTOX)
is a non-surgical cosmetic and medical procedure involving the injection of botulinum toxin (Botox) into the scrotum. It is primarily used to relax the muscles in the scrotal area to achieve aesthetic improvements and functional relief.
Frequently Asked Questions about Scrotox
How Does It Work?
The procedure targets two specific muscles:Â
-Dartos Muscle: This muscle, located just beneath the skin, is responsible for the wrinkling and tightening of the scrotum.
-Cremaster Muscle: This muscle regulates the height of the testicles, pulling them closer to the body for warmth or protection.Â
By temporarily paralyzing these muscles, the scrotum relaxes, which smooths the skin and allows the testicles to hang lower.Â
Who are the Best Candidates for Scrotal Neurotoxin?
Scrotal neurotoxin suits adult men seeking aesthetic enhancements and relief from specific scrotal conditions. Ideal candidates are those who:
–Desire a smoother and more relaxed scrotal appearance
-Experience excessive scrotal sweating (scrotal hyperhidrosis)
-Have realistic expectations about the outcomes and understand the temporary nature of the treatment.
-Are in good overall health and do not have contraindications for botulinum toxin injections
What are the Benefits of Scrotal Neurotoxin?
- Smoother Scrotal Appearance: Reduces rugosity or skin wrinkles by relaxing the dartos muscles.
- Increases the Appearance of Scrotal Fullness: By reducing the lift from the cremaster muscles, the testicles sit lower and the scrotum appears fuller.
- Increases Apparent Flaccid Penile Length: In some men, the dartos muscle extends higher and pulls the penis in towards the body when it contracts. When this muscle is relaxed with scrotal neurotoxin, the penis may look longer in the flaccid state.
- Enhanced Self-Confidence: Improves body image and genital aesthetics, boosting overall self-esteem.
- Reduced Sweating: Minimizes excessive scrotal sweating for increased comfort and discretion
- Pain Relief: Medically, it can alleviate chronic scrotal pain (CSP) caused by overactive muscles or inflammation.
What to Expect on the Day of Your Appointment
To provide a pain-free experience, a spermatic cord block is administered using lidocaine. Following this, Dr. Kirscher gives 2-3 injections into the proximal third of the cremaster muscle. These injections are carefully placed in various directions to ensure complete muscle relaxation. Additionally, injections are made into the most prominent scrotal furrows, specifically targeting the dartos muscle to achieve a smooth skin texture. The procedure lasts 15 to 30 minutes, and no downtime is required. Patients can resume most of their daily activities immediately following the injections.
What is the Recovery After a Scrotal Neurotoxin Procedure?
While the injections are minimally invasive, Dr. Kirscher ensures your comfort and monitors the treated area for any immediate reactions. Patients are advised to avoid scrotal manipulation or intercourse for two days post-treatment to allow the botulinum toxin to integrate and prevent any shifting or unevenness fully.
You will begin to notice the effects of scrotal neurotoxin within 3 to 15 days, with full results visible as the muscles relax and the scrotal skin smoothens. The benefits of scrotal neurotoxin last between 3 and 6 months, after which repeat injections can be scheduled to maintain the desired outcomes.
