You’ve tried massages, stretching and even acupuncture, but the pain keeps coming back. It’s a never-ending battle.
But what if I told you that there is a surprising solution to shoulder pain? One that can also improve your posture if you slouch and even reduce tension headaches?
The pain relief you’ve been looking for could be Botulinum toxin – commonly known as Botox.
What is TrapTox?
But many are not aware that it can also help shoulder pain due to poor posture due, hunching and excessive muscle contraction of the trapezius.
What is the Trapezius?
When these muscles are strained, you can think of them like a rubber band that’s permanently stretched beyond its limits. The result is stiffness and pain that may even radiate up to your head, causing headaches and jaw clenching.
But with Botox injections, we can set your trapezius muscles free.
How Trapezius Botox Works
Within a few weeks of your “TrapTox” treatment – as it is affectionately known – you’ll feel a dramatic reduction in shoulder stiffness and pain, as your muscle finally loosens up. In addition, your posture will improve, helping to reduce pain in the future.
Trap Botox for Cosmetic Effects
In addition to relieving overworked trapezius muscles, treating this area with Botox has an aesthetic effect. Thanks to social media, it has become one of the most popular injectable cosmetic procedures. It reduces the appearance of the trap muscles, which slims your shoulders, elongates your neck line, and makes your collarbone more well-defined. Because of this effect, it is also referred to as Barbie Botox.
This slimming effect has made trapezius Botox popular with female patients in Asia for the past several years. Many female patients love the way their slimmer profile looks in tank tops, bathing suits and summer dresses.
How is Trap Botox Done?
After determining that trapezius Botox is right for you, your doctor will identify and mark your trapezius muscles. Then Botox is placed to the exact positions of the left and right trapezius muscles through multiple small injections.
Because a small needle is used, many patients do not express discomfort during treatment. The entire treatment takes less than five minutes.
How Long Does TrapTox last?
Is Trap Botox Safe?
At Parfaire, all Botox injections are performed by Dr. Winnie Moses, who has detailed knowledge of medical anatomy, understands how much to inject and can ensure that you benefit both medical and cosmetic results from TrapTox treatment.
