Trap tox involves injecting neurotoxins like Botox into the trapezius muscle for aesthetic and therapeutic purposes.

About Trap Tox

Overview

Trap tox involves injecting neurotoxins like Botox into the trapezius muscle for aesthetic and therapeutic purposes. It helps achieve a narrower shoulder appearance, elongates the neck, and reduces neck and shoulder discomfort.

Advantages

Trap tox enhances shoulder appearance, elongates the neck, and relieves neck and shoulder pain and tension. It also helps alleviate headaches and muscle spasms, and increases comfort in physical activities.

What to Expect

The neurotoxin interrupts nerve-muscle communication, easing muscle contractions and discomfort. It also induces gradual muscle atrophy, slimming the shoulders and elongating the neck.

During the consultation, the healthcare provider will conduct a thorough review of the patient’s medical history, anatomical considerations, and treatment objectives.
 
In some cases, alternative procedures may be recommended to address the patient’s concerns more effectively. While there are few medical conditions that would preclude a patient from undergoing trapezius toxin treatment, individuals with specific neuromuscular conditions may not be suitable candidates for this intervention.
 
The administration of trap tox injections is typically well-tolerated by patients and does not cause significant discomfort. Although pain management options such as numbing cream are available, most patients find the procedure to be relatively comfortable.
 
The process of injecting toxin into the trapezius muscle typically takes between ten to twenty minutes. A fine needle is used to deliver the toxin superficially under the skin and into the muscle. The specific injection sites may vary depending on the patient’s individual anatomy, but a series of injections are typically administered along the back of the neck and extending towards the shoulders.
 
The effects of trapezius toxin treatment typically last for a duration of three to four months. However, the exact duration of these results may vary depending on factors such as the patient’s unique treatment plan, biological factors, and genetic predispositions, with some individuals experiencing results lasting anywhere from two to six months.

Recovery

After Trap tox treatment, patients should avoid massaging the area and follow their practitioner’s instructions to ensure proper healing and the best results. Regular follow-up treatments may be necessary to maintain the effects.

Cost
Costs varies on pricing of units of toxin, but here are the common amount of units used. The amount of units administered depend on the strength and size of your trapezius muscle with typical units being 50-75 units per side.
 
Insurance does not cover trapezius Botox performed for medical or cosmetic reasons.
