The scrotum may not be an area most people would expect a man to undergo Botox injections. However, scrotum Botox, or “scrotox” is growing in popularity as an aesthetic and medical treatment for various concerns. Scrotum Botox is a highly specialized procedure that requires an injection specialist like those at Northwest Face & Body. Consisting of cosmetic surgeons, physician assistants, and registered nurses, our providers will work to find the best treatment for your concerns and administer it with dexterity and compassion. Northwest Face & Body provides the best scrotox Bellevue and Kirkland offers.
Scrotum Botox uses a neurotoxin derived from Botulinum toxin A to address the underlying issues of various concerns that may affect the scrotum. These concerns may include:
The Botox injections may focus on the two muscle groups that affect the testicles and scrotum. First, the cremaster muscle is responsible for scrotal movement in response to stimuli such as the cold which can cause the contraction of the the cremaster muscle to hold the testicles closer to the body. Sometimes, this muscle can become tense or overactive which can be painful and cause the testicles to sit higher than they naturally would.
Secondly, scrotox will sometimes target the dartos muscles which is a smaller muscle that contributes to the skin movement of the scrotum and helps regulate the temperature of the testes. These muscles are the ones largely responsible for scrotal wrinkles. With repeated movements common during intercourse and daily life, the dartos muscles can cause the scrotum to look or become wrinkled over time. Botox may be able to reduce this appearance.
Finally, scrotum Botox may treat excessive sweating of the scrotum. In this case, the muscles are not treated and the Botox is injected just below the skin to reach the nerves, contributing to the release of sweat.
To undergo scrotum Botox in Bellevue, patients will first need to meet with an injector for a consultation. At this appointment, you will discuss your goals for treatment, concerns you have, your medical history, and the results you hope to achieve. Your injector may also examine the area to determine whether Botox is viable based on your goals. Based on all of this information and the exam, your injector will determine if you are a good candidate for scrotox treatment.
Scrotum Botox may start with the application of numbing cream. Patients may or may not opt for this at the time of treatment. Numbing takes approximately ten to twenty minutes. Your injector will then inject at multiple sites on and potentially around the scrotum. Around fifty to one hundred units are typically injected per treatment.
Scrotox injections tend to take around ten to twenty minutes to complete. Patients should remain fairly comfortable during treatment. Before you leave the office, your injector will provide aftercare instructions.
Yes, excessive sweating of the scrotum is one of the most common concerns scrotox patients have. Like other areas of the body, Botox injections can help reduce sweating in targeted areas when other methods have previously failed or been inadequate.
Yes, scrotox is usually considered perfectly safe. Ensure you see a reputable injector and fully understand the treatment before the injections. Botox, in general, has been well-studied and deemed safe across the world. Major complications with scrotum Botox are very rare.
A combination of age-related skin thinning and collagen production and repetitive movements of the dartos muscles are the most common causes of a wrinkled scrotum. While Botox cannot address all signs of aging, wrinkles that appear only with certain movements can often be treated with Botox injections, and future wrinkles mitigated.
Some wrinkling is normal and may be simply genetic. While these types of scrotum wrinkles cannot be addressed with Botox, patients are still encouraged to explore their options with providers at Northwest Face & Body.
Some discomfort during the injections is expected because the scrotum is a particularly sensitive area. However, there are several options that the providers at Northwest Face & Body offer to reduce pain and keep patients comfortable during their scrotox treatment in Bellevue. The injections are also quick which helps reduce pain and makes the procedure bearable for most people.
