Hollywood Embraces
‘Scrotox’ Cosmetic Testicle Injections
by Daniel Nussbaum 21 Oct 2016
It sounds like a medical procedure that only the most
egregiously vain actors would pursue, but testicle rejuvenation treatments are
apparently on the rise in Hollywood.
According
to industry trade publication The Hollywood Reporter, doctors in Beverly
Hills are increasingly fielding requests from male patients who want to smooth
out their downstairs area, so to speak, apparently inspired by female-equivalent treatments made
increasingly popular by actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow.
The procedure, nicknamed “Scrotox,” involves injecting
Botox directly into the skin of the scrotum and is said to make testicles
appear larger as well as decrease wrinkling and sweating around the treated
area.
Plastic surgeon and co-host of The Doctors television show Andrew Ordon told THR that it
was inevitable that men would want the same cosmetic genital treatment offered
to women in recent years.
“It is clear that we are going to be seeing more done on
men’s private areas, for men wanting smoothing down there,” Ordon told the
outlet.
The procedure’s popularity isn’t just limited to
Hollywood; plastic surgeons told UK
paper The Sun last month that the number of men inquiring
about obtaining Scrotox in the UK has doubled in the past year, reflecting a
“huge demand and interest.”
New York City-based plastic surgeon Andew
Schulman told Men’s
Fitness this week that the procedure is nothing new to his
colleagues, though its popularity has definitely increased. Schulman added that
the treatment is most popular among professional cyclists and runners who wish
to decrease sweating and chafing in the area.
“The idea of injecting Botox into the scrotum to smooth
the wrinkles has been around for many years among plastic surgeons; however,
none of us thought it would be something consumers would request,” Schulman
told the outlet.
Schulman also warned that before trying out the
procedure, men should realize that it may not result in the desired effect.
“Relaxation of the scrotal skin will lead to a smoother,
‘floppier,’ and longer scrotum. This appearance is more consistent with an
‘older’ scrotum,” Schulman told Men’s Fitness.

Botox
Cosmetics
Richard Clark, a plastic
surgeon from Sacramento (CA), was the first to document a cosmetic use for
botulinum toxin. He treated facial asymmetry caused by unilateral facial nerve
paralysis by injecting toxin into the non-paralyzed frontal muscle.[50]
Marrying ophthalmology to
dermatology, Jean and Alistair Carruthers observed that blepharospasm patients
who received injections around the eyes and upper face also enjoyed diminished
facial glabellar lines (“frown lines” between the eyebrows), thereby initiating
the highly-popular cosmetic use of the toxin.[51] Brin, and a group at Columbia University under Monte Keen made similar reports.[52] In 2002,
following clinical trials, the FDA approved Botox Cosmetic, botulinum A toxin to
temporarily improve the appearance of moderate-to-severe glabellar lines.[53]
The FDA approved a fully in vitro assay for use in the stability and potency
testing of Botox® in response to increasing public concern that LD50 testing
was required for each batch sold in the market.
