Scrotox

Botox is popular among people looking to improve the appearance of their faces, but there is an emerging trend in the world of aesthetic medicine that gives Botox a new purpose.

Scrotox is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment of the scrotum using wrinkle relaxing injections or Botox. Botox is used to inject into the scrotum to decrease sweating, reduce wrinkles and make the scrotum appear larger due to the relaxation of the dartos muscle. The result is an overall improved aesthetic appearance.

Benefits of Scrotox include:

Testicles appear larger
Allows testicles to hang down further
Decreases sweating and odour
Reduces wrinkles
Relieves testicular pain
Enhances sexual activity
Improves self-confidence

The procedure involves applying a thin layer of topical anaesthetic cream over the entire surface of the scrotum. Once the area is anesthetised, the scrotal skin is injected with Botox. There is minimal discomfort or pain. Scrotox injections only takes about 30 minutes and clients may go back to work with no downtime.

Results can last for 3 to 4 months, but this varies from person to person. As the muscles’ action gradually returns, so the scrotum will begin to contract back to its natural state. However, after subsequent Botox treatments results can last even longer as the muscles are being trained to relax.

Dr. Leon Ehlers

Aesthetic Medicine & Aesthetic Gynecology

Dr. Leon Ehlers graduated from the University of Pretoria with the degree MBChB in 1982. After his time in the South African National Defence Force, he started his own medical practice in 1985 in Sunnyridge on the East Rand of Johannesburg. Over the subsequent 19 years he built up a large and successful medical suite where his scope of practice involved general medicine, obstetrics & gynaecology and general surgery including mammoplasty, ENT as well as abdominal surgery.

In 1995 he was considered a pioneer in the field of Sexology and co-ordinated in the Institute of Sexology in Pretoria Hospital’s Urology Department.

In 2004 Dr. Leon sought after a change in pace and a different quality of life and made the decision to move to Umhlanga Rocks. It was considered a massive endeavour to pack up and start up a new practice in a different province after having established such a large medical suite. However, he rose to the challenge and carried out his vision to create a family practice that placed particular emphasis on male and female executive health, and to incorporate general and gynaecological aesthetics as well as anti-aging medicine to provide holistic patient wellness.

In late 2017 he was also involved with establishing The Institute of Aesthetic Options where he currently acts as a consultant, educator and trainer for facial aesthetics and sexual health.

Dr. Leon has over 20 years of experience with aesthetic & anti-aging medicine and frequently hosts educational and training seminars at Aesthetic Options where some of South Africa’s most recognisable and accomplished aesthetic practioners have come together to share knowledge and skills in order to provide our clients with highest quality, science-based aesthetic medicine practices.
