You’re a guy with a normal set of balls. Sure, maybe they can get a little sweaty sometimes but whose don’t?

And yes, they’re getting a bit more wrinkly as time goes on but that’s just something you’ve got to deal with.

Or so you might think.

If you’re sick of gathering saggy skin and sweat down below then fret no longer – scrotox is now a thing.


Yes, literally botox for your scrotum.

It’s the process of inflating slightly wrinkly, deflated balls.

Perhaps it’s not surprising, seeing that the number of men having cosmetic surgery has doubled over the past decade.



And the numbers paying £2,800 for a scrotal uplift are slowly rising, with doses of botox to smooth them out.

Mark Norfolk, Clinical Director at Transform tells Metro.co.uk: ‘Over the past year, requests for scrotum Botox have doubled at Transform showing the huge demand and interest for this procedure.’

But it’s not one that they offer due to the ‘possible risks and complications associated with treating this part of the body’.

But why?, I hear you scream.

Scrotox is supposed to do three things:

1. Decrease sweating

Mark does confirm that injecting Botox into the scrotum may help with any sweating issues…

2. Reduce wrinkles

But, he explains, it ‘won’t have much of an effect on wrinkles as there is lots of loose skin on this part of the body that an injectable treatment just can’t shift.

So if you want to get rid of your excess skin, you’re better off getting a proper nip ‘n’ tuck.

3. Make the scrotum appear larger due to muscles relaxing

My money’s on this one being the reason anyone would choose to have scrotox. But it’s doubtful the size of your balls affects anyone except you.

Wirth Plastic Surgery says that ‘many cyclists and runners love getting the Botox in this area to relieve them from skin irritations caused from excess sweating and rubbing…it’s just as important as facial rejuvenation.’

However, Mark stresses that anyone who is contemplating having it done needs to do thorough research into both the practitioner and the product they plan on using.

‘Also, patients should manage their expectations in terms of results, it could prove very costly and nervy racking to go through, for very little in return,’ he says.

So…any takers?
