Genital rejuvenation is applicable not only to women (vaginal rejuvenation) but
also to men (scrotal rejuvenation). There is an increased awareness, reflected by
the number of published medical papers, of vaginal rejuvenation; however,
rejuvenation of the scrotum has not received similar attention in the medical
literature. Scrotal rejuvenation includes treatment of hair-associated scrotal
changes (alopecia and hypertrichosis), morphology-associated scrotal changes
(wrinkling and laxity), and vascular-associated scrotal changes (angiokeratomas).
Rejuvenation of the scrotum potentially may utilize medical therapy, such as
topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, for scrotal alopecia and conservative
modalities, such as depilatories and electrolysis, for scrotal hypertrichosis.
Lasers and energy-based devices may be efficacious for scrotal hypertrichosis and
scrotal angiokeratomas. Surgical intervention is the mainstay of therapy for
scrotal laxity; however, absorbable suspension sutures are postulated as a
potential intervention to provide an adequate scrotal lift. Hair transplantation
for scrotal alopecia and injection of botulinum toxin into the dartos muscle for
scrotal wrinkling are hypothesized as possible treatments for these conditions.
The interest in scrotal rejuvenation is likely to increase as men and their
physicians become aware of both the conditions of the scrotum that may warrant
rejuvenation and the potential treatments of the scrotum for these individuals.
