Just For Men
Scro-Tox
Scro-Tox is a cosmetic procedure designed to relax the muscles of the scrotum using botulinum toxin injections. This treatment helps reduce wrinkles, improve the appearance of the scrotal skin, and provide a smoother, more relaxed look. Scro-Tox has also been found to help minimize discomfort caused by tightness and excessive sweating, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits.
What Is Scro-Tox?
It is an innovative, non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the aesthetic appearance and comfort of the scrotal area. This treatment involves the precise injection of botulinum toxin, a highly purified neurotoxin, directly into the dartos muscle of the scrotum. The primary mechanism of action is the temporary relaxation of these underlying muscles.
The relaxation of the dartos muscle leads to a noticeably softer and smoother scrotal appearance, reducing the creased or wrinkled texture that some men find undesirable. Beyond the significant cosmetic benefits, many individuals also choose Scro-Tox for enhanced daily comfort. By reducing muscle contraction, the procedure can alleviate feelings of tightness or restriction, contributing to a more relaxed and comfortable experience, particularly during physical activity or when wearing certain types of clothing. Sweating in this area is also decreased substantially. Many men experience sexual enhancement after a Scro-Tox treatment.
The Scro-Tox procedure is known for its efficiency and minimal invasiveness. It is typically a quick, in-office treatment that does not require general anesthesia. One of its most appealing aspects is the absence of downtime; patients can usually resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. Visible results typically begin to manifest within a few days of the injections, with the full effect becoming apparent within one to two weeks. The effects of Scro-Tox are temporary, generally lasting between three and six months, after which repeat treatments may be desired to maintain the results. This makes it a flexible option for those seeking a reversible aesthetic and comfort enhancement.

What to Expect With Scro-Tox
Initial Consultation
Dr. McIntosh will begin with a private and professional consultation to discuss your goals and expectations. During this time, your medical history and any concerns will be reviewed to ensure that Scro-Tox is the right procedure for you.
Choosing the Right Approach
Scro-Tox can be customized depending on your specific needs and the desired degree of relaxation. Your provider will explain the number of units and injection points required for the most natural-looking results.
Pre-Treatment Preparations
Minimal preparation is required before Scro-Tox. You may be advised to avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements a few days before your appointment to minimize the risk of bruising.
Treatment Steps
The treatment is performed in a comfortable clinical setting. A topical numbing cream is applied to reduce any discomfort, followed by precise injections of botulinum toxin into targeted areas. The entire session typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes.
Post-Treatment Care
After treatment, you can return to normal activities almost immediately. Some mild swelling or tenderness may occur, but these side effects usually subside within a few hours. Results begin to appear within 3 to 7 days and can last for several months before a touch-up session is recommended.
