Who Can Benefit
The trapezius muscles run from the neck to the shoulders. When they are large, the shoulders look broad and the neck shorter. TrapTox uses small doses of a muscle-relaxing injection, the same type used as a wrinkle relaxer, so the muscles slim gradually and the shoulder line looks softer and the neck longer.
- Bulky or sloping shoulders from large trapezius muscles
- A neck that looks short
- Patients who want a slimmer shoulder line without surgery
- Patients who want a natural-looking result
Shoulders that look broad because of fat rather than muscle respond better to other treatments, so the doctor checks this first. The same type of injection is used for calf slimming and excessive sweating.
We postpone treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding, with an infection in the area, or with a nerve or muscle condition such as myasthenia gravis.
