Barbie Tox & TrapTox

Barbie/Trap Tox is a specialized Botox® technique used along the trapezius muscles (the large muscles running from the neck to the shoulders). By relaxing these muscles, the treatment creates a longer, more slender neck and a more delicate shoulder line, similar to the elegant proportions often associated with the “Barbie” aesthetic. In addition to cosmetic benefits, this technique can also help reduce tension and stiffness in the area, making it both beauty-enhancing and therapeutic.

How does it work?

Botox temporarily relaxes the trapezius muscles by blocking the nerve signals that cause them to contract. As the muscles relax, the shoulders settle into a softer, lower position, giving the neck a longer, more refined look. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and requires no downtime.

How Is It Performed?

After a consultation, the treatment area is cleaned and marked. Small amounts of Botox are injected directly into targeted points of the trapezius muscles using fine needles. The procedure typically takes 10–20 minutes, and most clients return to their daily activities immediately afterward. Results start to appear within 1–2 weeks, with the full effect visible by 3–4 weeks. The slimming and relaxing effects last 3–6 months, after which maintenance sessions are recommended.
