Traptox "Barbie Tox" (Trapezius Botox) Treatment, Nottingham
Traptox "Barbie Tox" (Trapezius Botox) at Second Look Medical Group
Slimmer shoulders, elongated neck & tension relief
TrapTox is a popular Botox treatment used in the trapezius muscles (upper shoulders). Originally designed to relieve muscle tension, pain and tightness, it has recently become highly sought-after for its aesthetic benefits – creating a slimmer, more elongated neck-and-shoulder silhouette (often called the “Barbie Botox” effect).
This treatment is especially popular among clients who experience stress tension, gym-related tightness, migraines, or simply want a more feminine, contoured upper body shape.
- Slimmer, more contoured shoulders
- Longer-looking neck
- Significant tension relief in the trapezius
- Helps improve posture
- Reduces stiffness from stress or gym training
- Minimal downtime
What to expect with Trapezius Botox at Second Look Medical Group™
Our approach to slimming, lifting and reducing tension in your neck and shoulders
Step 01
Consultation & Muscle Assessment
We assess your posture, muscle tightness, shoulder height and aesthetic goals to determine the correct dosage and injection points.
Step 02
Treatment Mapping
The trapezius is divided into strategic zones and marked for accurate, symmetrical injection placement.
Step 03
Botox Injection Procedure
Using ultra-fine needles, Botox is injected into specific areas of the trapezius. The procedure takes around 10 minutes and feels like light pinching.
Step 04
Aftercare & Results
You may return to activities immediately. Relaxation begins within 3–7 days, aesthetic slimming occurs gradually over 4–6 weeks, and results last around 3–4 months.
