Trapezius Botox (Traptox) – Neck Pain Relief & Slimmer Shoulders
Trapezius Botox, also known as Traptox, is a treatment that offers both medical and aesthetic benefits. It may help reduce neck pain, tension headaches, and shoulder discomfort, while also creating slimmer shoulders and a more elegant neckline.
What is Trapezius Botox (Traptox)?
Trapezius Botox is a specialised procedure in which botulinum toxin is injected into the trapezius muscles, the large muscles extending from the neck to the shoulders. This treatment addresses both medical and aesthetic concerns.

How does trapezius Botox work?
Trapezius muscles can become tense due to stress, poor posture, or extended screen use. This tension may cause discomfort and give the shoulders a rounded appearance.
Mechanism of action:
Injection: Botox is carefully administered into the trapezius muscles
Muscle Relaxation: The neurotoxin blocks nerve signals to the muscle
Pain Relief: Muscle tension decreases, alleviating discomfort
Aesthetic Improvement: Relaxed muscles appear slimmer and more defined
