THIS might not be coming to pharmacies any time soon, but US plastic surgeon John Mesa claims to be pioneering new uses for Botox that combat some of the toughest wrinkles imaginable.
Dubbed "scrotox", Dr Mesa's treatment tackles the tackle, with at least 15 men so far willing to brave his injections in pursuit of younger looking testicles.
Men's Health magazine says the doctor prefers the term "ball ironing" and claims Botox not only results in a less wrinkly scrotum but also allows the testes to hang lower, making them appear larger.
"Technically, it's more painful to get Botox in your groin than in your face because it is a much more sensitive area," Dr Mesa admits to the magazine.
"But we minimise that with a topical anaesthetic."
Men over the age of 21 can have the procedure done.
It takes about 40 minutes and costs up to US$800 per session, with results lasting four months.
