Trap Botox (Traptox) in San Francisco

What is a Trap Botox (Traptox)?

Traptox — also called "Barbie Botox" — is Botox injected into the trapezius muscles at the top of the shoulders. It relaxes bulky or overactive traps to create a longer, more sloped neckline and relieve shoulder and neck tension, tension headaches, and posture-related tightness.

Because the trapezius is a large muscle, it takes a lot of units — typically 40 to 100 across both sides. Tension relief often comes within a week or two; the visual slimming of the shoulder line develops over several weeks as the muscle softens. Results last about 4 to 6 months.

Traptox is priced per unit like regular Botox, so cost depends on your muscle size and goals. Ask your provider for an estimated unit count before booking.
