Trap Tox (Trapezius Botox) is a treatment that uses neuromodulators (like Botox) injected into the trapezius muscles, the large muscles running from your neck to your shoulders and upper back.
By relaxing these overactive muscles, the treatment helps reduce tension while also creating a longer, slimmer-looking neck and more contoured shoulders.
WHAT DOES TRAP TOX TREAT?
Trap Tox is both a therapeutic and aesthetic treatment, commonly used for:
-
Chronic neck and shoulder tension
-
Tension headaches + migraines
-
Poor posture (“tech neck”)
-
Bulky or overdeveloped trapezius muscles
-
A shorter or “compressed” neck appearance
It’s ideal for clients who hold stress in their shoulders or want a more elongated, refined neckline.
HOW DOES TRAP TOX WORK?
Trap Tox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the trapezius muscle, reducing its ability to contract.
-
The muscle relaxes and softens
-
Tension and tightness decrease
-
Over time, the muscle can slightly reduce in size
-
The neck and shoulders appear more elongated and sculpted
This creates both functional relief and visible contouring.
