Scrotox Seattle

Botox is an exceptionally versatile medication. As a neurotoxin, the injections can help treat early signs of aging and improve symptoms of medical conditions such as chronic migraines and excessive sweating. While best known for its anti-wrinkle effects, it has several other medical and cosmetic uses. One of the less common uses that are growing in popularity is “scrotox” or “scrotum Botox.” Allure Esthetic Plastic Surgery performs the best scrotox Seattle offers.

Scrotum Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that can help address several possible concerns with the appearance of the scrotum. For example, it can help reduce wrinkles on the scrotum or make it look larger and hang lower. In some cases, Botox is also part of a treatment plan for chronic scrotal pain. All scrotal Botox injections are considered an off-label, but safe use when conducted by a qualified professional.

When wanting to make the scrotum hang differently, the cremaster muscle is generally targeted. This thin muscle covers the testicles and contributes to their movement and how they sit. Sometimes, the muscle can be overly tightened and this can cause the scrotum to look smaller than it truly is. Other times, the muscle is only treated superficially or the nerves are treated with Botox to help address chronic sweating or pain. The exact treatment plan will vary based on a patient’s goals, anatomy, and needs.

Botox is a neurotoxin which means that when injected it can cause a localized freezing effect which stops or limits movement of the treated muscle. This effect is usually localized and should not affect the entire muscle. Botox can also affect the nerves by limiting signals to and from the brain. This can inhibit actions and sensations caused by nerves, most commonly pain and sweating.

Concentrated and purified from Botulinum toxin A—the toxin that causes botulism when in its unaltered, full form—Botox is among the most studied medications in the world and has an all-around fantastic safety profile.

Candidacy

To get scrotox, patients must first find out if they are a candidate for the procedure. An injector at Allure Esthetic can evaluate patients and determine if scrotox would benefit them and help them achieve their goals. Medically, patients need to be in good general health with no major health concerns or injuries in the treatment area. Beyond that, patients need to have a good understanding of the procedure, the results it is likely to achieve, and the benefits and risks.

During a consultation appointment, your provider will ask about relevant medical history which may include what medications you take, if you have had any other scrotal procedures, and relevant medical conditions. Your injector may conduct a brief exam of the area to determine if your concerns can be adequately treated with Botox injections.

Injections

Your injector will offer topical numbing cream. If you opt for numbing, it will take around ten to twenty minutes to take effect. From there, your injector will carefully inject the Botox at multiple locations of the scrotum. The injection sites can vary widely based on the specific treatment but usually consist of multiple injections regardless.

The injections themselves tend to take around ten minutes and most patients remain comfortable during the process. Some discomfort—especially because the scrotum can be a sensitive area—is expected, but the injections are quick, and pain is usually minimal.

Aftercare

Botox injection procedures do not usually have major recovery times or aftercare. Patients can return to their daily activities immediately. It is recommended that patients refrain from exercise for at least the rest of the day to prevent sweating, irritation, and swelling of the injection sites. Ice may be used to curb side effects like pain and swelling, though these generally cause no notable issues.

Other aftercare instructions may include:

• Wear breathable, loose undergarments for one to two days
• Limit alcohol consumption
• Keep friction in the area to a minimum
• Sex can commence after treatment, but it is ideal to wait one to two days
• Check-in with your provider after two weeks to gauge the results

How Long Does Scrotox Last?

Scrotox—like other Botox treatments—lasts between three and four months on average. This can vary based on various biological and environmental factors. In general, patients can expect to undergo scrotox injections around three to four times per year.

Where Are The Scrotox Injection Sites?

As previously mentioned, scrotum Botox can have differing injection sites based on the particular treatment administered. For treating the hang of the scrotum and most cosmetic concerns, a minimum of three injection areas: one on each side and one underneath the scrotum are necessary.

When treating sweating, shallow injections just below the skin are made across the entire scrotal area. While covering a larger area, these injections are less painful because they do not treat a muscle and only reach just below the skin.

It is important to note that scrotox is never injected directly into the testes and the Botox is administered into the muscle at the deepest level. This is above the testes and therefore there is little to no risk to sperm count or the testes themselves.

How Many Units Of Botox Are Used For Scrotal Botox?

On average, scrotum Botox uses 75 to 100 units of Botox. The number of Botox units used varies based on the patient’s skin and muscle thickness, specific goals, and history with Botox or similar medications. If only treating wrinkles on the skin of the scrotum, a patient may require significantly fewer units. A more accurate estimate of the number of units can be determined at your consultation.

Can You Use Dysport In The Scrotum?

Yes, Dysport is another option for Botulinum toxin A treatment. There are subtle differences between Botox and Dysport and some patients find that one provides them better results over the other. Dysport is perfectly safe for scrotox treatment and should provide comparable results.
