Trap Tox

Trap tox or a “Swan Neck” injection is a treatment that helps ease neck and shoulder tension and improve posture using Botulinum Toxin also known as Botox. Learn more about the treatment, cost and how it works.

Shoulder Slimming at Viva Skin Clinics

Trap tox is a non-surgical treatment that uses precisely placed anti-wrinkle injections to relax the trapezius – the large muscle spanning the neck, shoulders and upper back. The trapezius is a powerful muscle that supports the shoulders and moves the neck. For many people it becomes overdeveloped, tight or habitually tense – through posture, stress, exercise, or long hours at a desk or screen. This can leave the shoulders feeling stiff and heavy, and can make the neck appear shorter and the shoulder line bulkier. Trap tox addresses both the tension and the aesthetics in a single, non-surgical treatment. A measured amount of anti-wrinkle solution is injected into targeted points across the trapezius muscle on each side. This gradually relaxes the muscle, easing overactivity and tension over the following weeks. As the muscle softens, many people notice relief from tightness and discomfort, alongside a subtly slimmer, more sloping shoulder contour that lengthens the appearance of the neck.

What is Trap Tox?

Trap Tox is a treatment that targets reducing the size or bulk of the trapizoid muscle also known as the traps. Using botulinum toxin, the injections allow the muscle to relax to help neck tension, improve posture and the lower the shoulders allowing for a more curved and feminine neck line. This treatment is excellent for patients that complain of neck tension or hunching over or gym goers who want to reduce the bulk of their trapizoid muscles.
