Quick answer
What Is Trapezius Botox?
Trapezius Botox, sometimes called shoulder Botox or 'barbie Botox', is botulinum toxin injected into the upper part of the trapezius muscle between the neck and shoulder. As the muscle relaxes and slims, the slope from neck to shoulder looks smoother and the neck appears longer.
The upper trapezius can become bulky from posture, desk work, carrying bags or training. Botox reduces its activity and size over several weeks. Because it is a large muscle, body Botox uses a higher dose than face treatments – listed packages start at 100 units.
Some people say their shoulders feel less tight afterwards, but this varies. Trapezius Botox is mainly a cosmetic treatment; ongoing neck or shoulder pain should be checked by a doctor or physiotherapist.
