If you spend long hours at a computer or frequently experience shoulder and neck
tension, you may be dealing with overactivity in a large but often overlooked
muscle—the trapezius. Commonly known for its role in shoulder movement and
posture, the trapezius can become hyperactive due to stress, poor ergonomics, or
prolonged periods of sitting. This overuse doesn’t just affect your appearance—it can
lead to chronic pain, tension headaches, reduced concentration, and even impaired
posture.
Enter TrapTox, our specialized treatment using Dysport to relax the trapezius muscle.
While it’s gaining popularity for its aesthetic benefits—such as elongating the neck and
creating a more elegant silhouette—this treatment goes far beyond the surface.
Why TrapTox is Ideal for Busy Professionals
For those working long hours at desks or in front of screens, constant elevation of the
shoulders and tension in the upper back becomes second nature. Over time, this leads
to muscle tightness, discomfort, and decreased mobility. The upper trapezius, being one
of the strongest postural muscles, often carries the burden—resulting in neck pain,
stiffness, headaches, and even jaw tension.
By strategically injecting Dysport or other neuromodulators into the upper portion of the
trapezius, we can partially relax the muscle, easing its hyperactivity without
compromising its function. The result?
• Decreased muscle tightness
• Relief from tension-related headaches
• Improved neck and shoulder mobility
• Better posture and an overall sense of physical ease
Beyond Aesthetics: A Holistic Approach to Wellness
While many clients love the refined and elongated look TrapTox provides to the neck
and shoulders, others come back because of the significant relief from chronic
discomfort. In some cases, overactive trapezius muscles can even be a trigger for
migraines, making this treatment a game-changer for certain individuals.
By combining aesthetic insight with functional medicine, TrapTox is a perfect example of
how modern injectables can support both beauty and well-being.
What to Expect During the TrapTox Procedure
The TrapTox procedure is quick, highly targeted, and virtually painless. Treatment
typically involves one to two small injections per side, precisely placed into the
overactive portion of the trapezius muscle. By focusing only on the problematic area, we
ensure maximum benefit with minimal intervention.
The entire process takes just a few minutes, making it an easy appointment to fit into a
busy day—even on a lunch break.
• Duration of results: Effects typically last 3 to 6 months, depending on
individual muscle activity and the dose used.
• Dosage range: Most patients receive between 60 and 200 total units of the
available in-office muscle relaxant (“Tox” shortly), customized to their
gender, anatomy, muscle strength, and desired outcome.
• Sensation: The injections are done with a fine needle and are virtually
painless, often described as just a small pinch.
Life After TrapTox
We’ve received an overwhelming number of “thank you” messages from clients who’ve
experienced real transformation—not just in how they look, but how they feel. Many
report less daily pain, improved posture, reduced tension headaches, and even
enhanced focus at work thanks to reduced muscle fatigue and discomfort.
TrapTox isn’t just about enhancing the appearance of your neckline. It’s about helping
you move through your day with less strain and more ease—because looking better and
feeling better should always go hand in hand.
