TrapTox
Traptox is a cosmetic and therapeutic procedure that entails the administration of Botox injections into the trapezius muscle, located at the posterior region of the neck and shoulders. This intervention is frequently utilized to alleviate muscle tension and pain while simultaneously enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the neck and shoulders. Furthermore, Traptox has been reported to mitigate headaches and neck discomfort, and it may indirectly contribute to improved posture by promoting relaxation of the trapezius muscle.
