BOTOX® for Trapezius: What Is Trapezius BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is a botulinum toxin type A treatment that temporarily relaxes certain muscles in the body. Trapezius BOTOX® or trapezius muscle BOTOX® involves injections into the trapezius or “traps”—a flat, large, and triangular-shaped muscle in the back area. The trapezius often becomes enlarged and inflamed because of overuse, leading to discomfort in the neck and back. Some people may develop the appearance of large traps because of poor posture, and they may dislike the look of the large muscles.
Repetitive movements, stress, and genetics can also contribute to an undesirable bulky appearance. Sometimes, individuals who spend a lot of time sitting or staring at a computer, or those that have a job that involves lifting or carrying heavy objects, may find that their trapezius muscle has been overactive. With all of this in mind, patients may decide to get trapezius BOTOX® for cosmetic purposes or to help treat pain.
There are many benefits of trapezius BOTOX®, such as its ability to provide a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. BOTOX® in the
trapezius can reduce the appearance of a hunch, slim the shoulders to give them a leaner and longer look, and give the neck a more elongated appearance. This treatment can be ideal for individuals who are hoping to accentuate their shoulders.
Moreover, BOTOX® provides relief for chronic pain and muscle stiffness in this area and can improve your quality of life as a treatment temporarily weakens and relaxes the muscles. The exact dosage and the lifespan of results will depend on the strength of the muscle.
