Often favoured by models and professionals alike, the Traptox treatment is designed to both slim the appearance of the upper shoulders and ease muscle tension in the neck and back. At Derma Revive Skin Clinic, we use this advanced anti-wrinkle injection technique to relax the trapezius muscles, softening their bulk and contributing to a more graceful neck-to-shoulder transition.
While originally popular in South Korea and among high-fashion models, Traptox has gained international recognition for its aesthetic and therapeutic benefits. Whether you’re aiming to lengthen the appearance of your neck, reduce shoulder bulk, or address tightness from stress or posture, this treatment offers a non-surgical, low-maintenance solution.
Traptox refers to the use of anti-wrinkle injections in the trapezius muscles — the muscles that run from the base of your neck across the shoulders and upper back. In many individuals, especially those with strong posture-related strain or who engage in frequent exercise, this area can become bulky or overactive.
By relaxing the trapezius muscle with small, targeted doses of anti-wrinkle product, we reduce the prominence and tension in this area. The result is a softer, more elongated neckline and a reduction in shoulder heaviness, both in appearance and sensation.
Traptox offers both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking visible improvements and physical relief:
Slims the Shoulder Profile: Softens the bulk of the trapezius for a more refined silhouette.
Lengthens the Neck Aesthetically: Enhances the curve and elegance of the neck and shoulder line.
Reduces Muscle Tension: Helps alleviate shoulder and neck strain caused by stress or posture.
Non-Surgical and Subtle: Achieve visible changes without surgery, scarring, or downtime.
Quick Treatment: The procedure takes only a few minutes and requires no recovery period.
Improves Posture Awareness: Relaxing the muscle can help release tension built up over time.
Whether your goals are aesthetic or functional, this treatment provides a versatile and effective approach to upper body rejuvenation.
Every neck and shoulder structure is different. Some individuals experience overactive trapezius muscles due to genetics, posture, or lifestyle habits. Others seek Traptox to help achieve a more defined neckline that better suits their overall proportions.
At Derma Revive Skin Clinic, we personalise every treatment to deliver the right balance between functional relief and aesthetic enhancement. Our expert practitioners understand how to dose precisely for each client, ensuring that the outcome is natural and in harmony with the rest of your silhouette.
Most people will notice a softening in shoulder appearance and an increased sense of lightness within two weeks of treatment — the effects become even more noticeable with regular maintenance.
The effects of Traptox typically last between 3 to 5 months. As with all anti-wrinkle treatments, the product gradually wears off as the body metabolises it, and muscle activity slowly returns.
With consistent treatments, many clients find that muscle bulk reduces more significantly over time, and the need for frequent sessions may lessen. We’ll advise you on the best schedule to maintain results, whether your focus is on comfort, profile, or both.
Yes, when administered correctly, Traptox is highly effective in both reducing the prominence of the trapezius muscles and relieving tension in the neck and shoulders. Clients often notice visible slimming of the shoulders and a more elongated neckline, along with a reduction in discomfort caused by overactive muscles.
Traptox involves the use of anti-wrinkle injections to relax the trapezius muscles on either side of the upper back. By reducing muscular contraction, the treatment softens shoulder bulk and alleviates tightness. It’s a quick, minimally invasive procedure performed in-clinic with no downtime.
The results of Traptox typically last between 3 and 5 months, depending on how your body responds to the treatment. With regular maintenance, clients often find the muscle softens more over time and the need for top-ups becomes less frequent.
Traptox can help reduce the muscular tension that contributes to a rounded posture or the appearance of a neck hump caused by tight trapezius muscles. However, if the hump is due to fat accumulation or spinal curvature, alternative treatments may be needed. Our team will advise on the best approach during your consultation.
After Traptox, we recommend avoiding strenuous activity, heavy lifting, or deep massage of the treated area for 24 hours. It’s also best to stay upright for a few hours after the procedure and avoid applying pressure to the neck and shoulders. Most clients resume normal daily activities immediately.
Alternatives include physiotherapy, massage therapy, or posture-corrective exercises to manage shoulder bulk or tension. For purely aesthetic concerns, surgery or fat-reduction treatments may be considered in extreme cases, though most clients prefer the non-surgical, subtle approach that Traptox offers.
The number of units varies based on your muscle size and goals, but on average, clients may require between 30 and 60 units per side. At Derma Revive Skin Clinic, we customise dosage to ensure effective yet natural-looking results that don’t compromise shoulder function.
You should avoid intense exercise, especially upper body or shoulder-focused workouts, for at least 24 hours following treatment. After that, you can gradually resume your usual routine. This short break helps the product settle properly and supports optimal results.
Traptox is ideal for individuals with overactive trapezius muscles, visible shoulder bulk, or chronic neck and shoulder tension due to posture, stress, or exercise. It’s also suited to those looking to create a more elegant, feminine neckline. Suitability is confirmed during a consultation, where we assess muscle size, goals, and overall health.
