The Benefits of Trapezius Botox

Relaxes the trapezius muscles
Reduces pain and stiffness
Alleviates excessive muscle contraction
Makes the neck and shoulder look elongated and lean

According to Dannielli RN, one of the key benefits of this treatment is the relief it provides from pain caused by overused muscles. Many individuals experience tension in their trapezius muscles, resulting in shoulder pain and stiffness. By administering Botox or other neuromodulators to the large trapezius muscle group, tension in the area can be released, thus addressing recurring tension headaches and “tech neck” issues.

Beyond its functional advantages, TrapTox can also enhance aesthetics by creating a more elongated neck and leaner shoulder appearance. Dannielli RN explains that Botox relaxes and partially inactivates the injected muscles, leading to reduced size and volume. Moreover, injecting the trapezius muscles with Botox can alleviate excessive muscle contraction, promoting better balance between the front and back of the upper body and improving posture. Clinical studies have shown a statistically significant reduction in trapezius hypertrophy with Botox treatment.

Does Trapezius Botox Hurt?

Administering Botox to the trap muscles is no more uncomfortable than injecting it into the face or any other body part. With each injection, you may feel a slight pricking sensation as the needle penetrates the skin. However, aside from that, there is minimal discomfort or pain during or after the treatment. For a more pleasant experience, your provider can apply a topical numbing cream before the injections or you can add Pro-Nox laughing gas to your treatment. PRO-NOX is a nitrous oxide delivery system for pain management. PRO-NOX uses a 50/50 combination of oxygen and nitrous oxide that is inhaled to provide fast-acting pain relief that increases comfort and aids in calming anxiety. PRO-NOX is not general anesthesia and will not put you to sleep.

How to Prepare for Trapezius Botox

The preparation for trapezius Botox treatment follows the same protocol as any other Botox procedure. While there isn’t a significant amount of preparation involved, there are a few guidelines to make the treatment more effective. Firstly, it is recommended to relax the muscles in the area as much as possible to reduce stress and tension. Dannielli RN advises refraining from exercise for at least two hours before TrapTox and for the rest of the day.

Moreover, our experts suggest avoiding alcohol consumption for up to one week before the injections, as it can cause bruising and swelling in the treated area. It is also important to abstain from taking blood thinners for a week, as well as aspirin or other anti-inflammatory medications a few days prior to your Botox appointment, as they can increase the risk of bleeding.

What to Expect

Different neuromodulators, such as Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin, and Daxiffy, offer options for treating the trapezius muscles. However, according to Dannielli RN, no specific brand stands out as superior for this purpose. So, it’s best to stick with the one that makes you feel most comfortable.

The procedure for Trapezius Botox is quick and straightforward, taking only 10 to 20 minutes. Typically, around 50-100 units of Botox are injected into each side both the left and right trapezius muscles, but the dosage may vary depending on individual muscle size. “Each person’s treatment approach should be custom tailored,” suggests Dannielli RN.

Firstly, your injector will mark the injection areas along the shoulder. Then, with speed and precision, they will administer Botox to these marked spots. One advantage of TrapTox is that there’s no downtime, but it may take some time for the results to become apparent. Generally, within two to three days after the injections, you should start noticing the effects, which will continue to improve over the following two weeks. As Botox weakens the muscle, you’ll experience reduced tightness and pain in your shoulders, neck, and back, along with an increased range of motion. Typically, these results last around four months, although some individuals may enjoy the benefits for an additional month or longer.

Potential Side Effects

Trapezius Botox is a relatively straightforward treatment with minimal potential side effects, which are similar to those of Botox injections for wrinkles and lines. Common post-injection effects include redness, mild swelling, and bruising. However, it’s important to note that if the toxin is injected improperly, there may be a diffusion effect leading to flu-like symptoms and muscle weakness. Therefore, it is crucial to have a skilled and experienced injector who can minimize the risk of unwanted side effects, as mentioned by Dannielli RN. Muscle weakness may initially affect the ability to extend the neck and shrug the shoulders, but this movement gradually returns as the effects of Botox wear off.

The Cost

The cost of Trapezius Botox varies based on the number of units required, as each patient’s needs differ. The regular price for Botox per unit is $13, but we offer monthly specials. To view our current specials, please visit our dedicated specials page.

Aftercare

After receiving Botox injections in your trap muscles, it is crucial to follow a similar post-treatment routine as you would for your face. This includes refraining from intense workouts and avoiding lying down for at least three hours. Additionally, Dannielli RN advises abstaining from alcohol for the first 24 hours and steering clear of hot baths and saunas to prevent any increase in body temperature that may hinder the desired results.

It is normal to experience mild redness and soreness after a TrapTox session. If this occurs, applying ice to the area can alleviate any discomfort. It is important to note that maintaining good posture by sitting up straight and walking without hunching over is vital. Neglecting proper posture can quickly cause the trap muscles to bulk up again.

The Final Takeaway

The demand for trapezius Botox is on the rise, and it’s not hard to see why. This treatment offers relief from tension-related pain while enhancing the appearance of your neck and shoulders. Similar to facial Botox injections, the results of TrapTox take a few days to a few weeks to fully manifest, but they are not permanent. To maintain the effects, it is recommended to undergo treatment two to three times per year.
