Scrotox: The Rise of Botox injections… For Men’s Scrotum
By Dr.Michael Lee, World-Today-News.com - November 8,2023
For years,Botox has reigned supreme as the moast popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the United States. But a lesser-known, and increasingly discussed, application of the neurotoxin is gaining attention: Scrotox – Botox injections administered to the scrotum. Google searches for the procedure have surged to 46,000, signaling a growing, if unconventional, trend.
But why are men opting for this procedure? and what are the potential benefits and risks?
The Appeal of Scrotox: Aesthetics, Comfort, and More
According to Dr. Mike Tee, a senior doctor at the Harley Street Skin Clinic in London, the vast majority – around 80% – of patients seeking Scrotox are motivated by aesthetic desires, a shift from previous years when medical concerns were the primary driver.
Men are pursuing the treatment for a variety of reasons, including:
* Reducing Wrinkles: Yes, the scrotal sac is susceptible to wrinkles, and some men seek to smooth them out.
* Controlling Excessive sweating: Excessive perspiration in the area can lead to irritation, discomfort, and even infections. Scrotox can temporarily alleviate this.
* Temporary Enhancement: The injections can relax muscles, leading to a temporary increase in scrotal size.
* Treating Cremaster Muscle Issues: Dr.Tee explains that an overactive cremaster muscle – responsible for raising and lowering the testicles – can cause painful, involuntary contractions that interfere with both physical activity and sexual function. Scrotox can offer relief.
Potential Risks and What to Expect
While generally considered safe when administered by a qualified medical professional, Scrotox isn’t without potential side effects. Dr. Tee cautions that risks, though rare, can include:
* Asymmetry: Uneven results.
* Skin Rash or Allergic Reaction: Including, in vrey rare cases, anaphylaxis.
* Urinary or Sexual Dysfunction: A potential, though uncommon, complication.
* More Common Side Effects: Sensitivity, bruising, and redness are more frequently observed.
Recovery is typically straightforward. ”Most patients resume their daily activities promptly after treatment,” says Dr.Tee. “There might potentially be some sensitivity and redness in the first 24 to 48 hours. I advise patients to avoid sexual activity,hot baths,or strenuous exercise during that period.”
Visible results typically begin to appear after a week, with full effects realized between two and four weeks post-treatment.
