What Trapezius Botox Is

Trapezius Botox involves injecting botulinum toxin into the trapezius muscle — the large muscle that spans from the back of your neck to your shoulders. In cosmetic use, it’s often done to reduce bulky muscle appearance, soften the shoulder line, improve posture appearance, or relieve tension and tightness that can accentuate a wide upper back/shoulder silhouette.

This is a non-surgical, minimally invasive muscle-modulating treatment rather than a procedure that changes bone structure or removes fat.

How It Works

• Targeted injections: Botox is injected into specific points in the trapezius muscle.
• Muscle relaxation: The treatment reduces the strength of muscle contractions.
• Softened muscle bulk: Over time, the muscle may appear less bulky and more relaxed, altering how the shoulder and neck area looks.

The effect is temporary and results build gradually after treatment.

What to Expect

 Consultation

Before treatment, you should have a consultation where:

• Your muscle activity, posture, and aesthetic goals are discussed
• The injector explains how many units and where they would be placed
• Expected outcomes, risks, and limitations are reviewed
• You can ask questions and set realistic expectations

 The Procedure

• Quick: Often about 10–25 minutes
• Comfortable: Tiny injections into the trapezius muscle
• Minimal downtime: Most people resume daily activities immediately

 Results & Timeline

• Initial change: Some muscle relaxation within a few days
• Noticeable change: Over several weeks as muscle tone reduces
• Duration: Typically 3–4 months
  Maintenance treatments help sustain the effect over time.

Benefits

✔ Can soften the appearance of bulky shoulders/upper back due to muscle prominence

Who It’s Best For

This treatment is ideal if you:

• Have prominent trapezius muscle bulk that affects shoulder silhouette
• Want to soften the look of the upper back/shoulder area
• Prefer a non-surgical muscle-modulating approach
• Are okay with temporary effects and periodic maintenance

It’s not typically used to treat structural bone width or skeletal dimensions.

Aftercare Tips

To support good results:

✅ Avoid massaging or rubbing the treated area for about 24 hours
✅ Stay upright for a few hours after treatment
✅ Avoid intense exercise, heat (sauna/steam), or heavy lifting on the day of treatment
✅ Follow any aftercare guidance your provider gives

Questions to Ask Before Booking

When contacting a clinic in Seoul, you can ask:

1. Do you offer trapezius Botox for muscle softening / contour purposes?
2. How many units are typically used for the trapezius area?
3. What results can I realistically expect and in what timeframe?
