Description

TOX treatment for the trapezius (trap) and shoulder area involves the precise injection of botulinum toxin—a neurotoxin that targets overactive muscles. By blocking the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction, this treatment effectively reduces tension and overactivity in the upper back and neck muscles. The result? Noticeable relief from chronic discomfort, muscle tightness, and improved posture.

Many individuals seek TOX in this area to relieve pain associated with migraines, tension headaches, or muscular strain. Others opt for treatment to achieve a slimmer, elongated neckline by softening the look of bulky shoulder muscles. Whether for therapeutic relief or aesthetic refinement, TOX injections in the traps/shoulders offer a minimally invasive solution with little to no downtime.

Toxin Options:

• Dysport: A botulinum type-A neuromodulator designed to relax muscles, often chosen for its fast onset and broad diffusion.

• Xeomin®: A double-filtered neurotoxin created through XTRACT Technology™, removing unnecessary proteins for a purified result.

Pre-Treatment Tips:

• Avoid alcohol for at least 7 days prior.

• Discontinue aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications 2 weeks before to minimize bruising.

Post-Treatment Care:

• Refrain from rubbing or massaging the area for 24 hours to prevent the toxin from spreading.

Results typically begin to appear within 7 to 14 days.
