When you keep your neck and shoulders in a slouched posture, there are muscles that get together well when you are stressed. It is the ‘trapezius muscle’. When the trapezius muscles get together, shoulder pain and headaches appear, as well as aesthetic problems such as a short neck. In order to reduce the trapezius muscle, there are not a few people who exercise or massage, and recently, more and more people are considering Botox treatment. From the effects of Botox to the trapezius muscle to precautions, we looked into it with Haidak experts.

Q. What is trapezius Botox?
Trapezoid muscle botox is a procedure that blocks muscle neurotransmitters and uses the muscle paralyzing effect to improve wrinkles or shrink thick muscles. Usually, the effect appears within 3-4 weeks and the effect lasts for 3-6 months. However, this may differ from person to person.

Q. After receiving Botox, the trapezius muscle seems to have grown bigger.
Botox treatment can cause temporary swelling and stiffness. Because the volume slowly decreases over time, it never gets bigger than before. It takes about a month for the effect of Botox to appear, so please watch the progress slowly.

Q. I didn’t get the desired effect. Can I get it right again?
I don’t recommend getting hit again without enough time. There is a possibility that resistance to Botox may develop, so it is recommended to take it with sufficient time.
If you get Botox on the trapezius muscle, the trapezius muscle is paralyzed, so you use more of the surrounding shoulder muscles or back muscles. Therefore, each individual may feel that the trapezius muscles are more united, the surrounding muscles may develop, or the surrounding joints or tissues may become overloaded. I think it would be good to have a procedure with another hospital or another Botox product after at least 6 months.

Q. What should I pay attention to after the procedure?
1. Please refrain from strong pressure or stimulation on the trapezius area.
2. It is recommended to avoid heavy objects, backpacks, etc.
3. Please refrain from sauna/sauna for one week.
4. Your shoulders may feel stiff after the procedure.
5. You should refrain from drinking or smoking after the procedure as swelling or redness and pain may occur.

Q. Is it okay to do light exercise?
If even a light jog makes your body sweat and blood circulation speeds up, there is a risk that Botox will spread to the surroundings. This may shorten the maintenance period, but there is no concern that it will spread to a big problem. However, it is recommended that you refrain from exercising for at least one week.
