The trapezius muscle, also known as the trapezius muscle, is a large muscle that extends from the back of the neck to the shoulders and middle of the back. This muscle plays a crucial role in supporting the shoulders and head, but can also cause pain and tension when overused or stressed. Trapezius botox, also known as traptox, is a treatment that can not only relieve pain and discomfort, but also offers aesthetic benefits.
Trapezius botox is a treatment in which botulinum toxin (botox) is injected into the trapezius muscle. Botox is known for its muscle relaxing properties and has been used for years to treat wrinkles and muscle tension. When botox is injected into the trapezius muscle, it helps to relax the muscle, reducing pain and tension. In addition, it can also contribute to aesthetic improvement by lowering the shoulders and making the neck appear longer and slimmer.
Trapezius botox is suitable for people who suffer from chronic neck and shoulder pain due to muscle tension or stress. This pain can manifest as a constant feeling of tension, stiffness, or even headaches. People who spend long hours at a computer, do a lot of lifting, or usually experience a lot of stress may benefit from this treatment.
In addition, trapezius botox is becoming increasingly popular for aesthetic purposes. Women and men who want to refine their neck and shoulders may consider this treatment. The muscle relaxation from botox can shrink the shoulders, making the neck look longer and more elegant, which can contribute to a more streamlined and attractive body shape.
The procedure for trapezius botox is relatively simple and quick. During treatment, small amounts of botox are injected with a fine needle into different parts of the trapezius muscle. The number of injections and the amount of botox used depends on the size of the muscle and the severity of the symptoms or aesthetic goals.
After the injections, the botox begins to work within a few days by blocking the nerve signals that control muscle activity. This causes the muscle to relax and contract less, leading to a reduction in pain and tension. The full effect of the treatment is usually noticeable after 2 - 4 weeks.
During treatment, patients may feel slight stinging or discomfort, but most people find the procedure well tolerated. After treatment, there may be minor bruising or swelling at the injection sites, but these usually disappear within a few days. We advise patients to avoid strenuous physical activity and massage of the treated area for the first 24 to 48 hours after treatment to ensure the best results.
As with any medical treatment, there are some risks associated with trapezius botox, although these are rare. Possible side effects may include temporary muscle weakness and asymmetry in the shoulders or neck. It is important to have the treatment performed by a qualified and experienced doctor to minimize the risk of complications.
The effects of trapezius botox usually last for three to six months. Permanent results may require regular repeat treatment.
We recommend avoiding strenuous physical activity and intense exercise for 24 to 48 hours after treatment to minimize possible side effects.
Initial results are usually noticeable within three to five days, with the full effect visible after 2 - 4 weeks.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment. Any pain is usually short-lived and disappears quickly.
