Botox Trapezius/Shoulder Slimming
GENERAL PRINCIPLE
When botulinum toxin is injected into the muscle, it blocks the effects of a chemical messenger called acetylcholine that is released from the nerves to make the muscle contract. Then, it helps the muscle to relax. Cosmetic use of Botox increases over the years. Despite of the muscle correction associated with facial expression on the face, the injection into the upper side of the trapezius is becoming a common procedure for making a smooth shoulder line. As a result, the treatment can improve the appearance of the neck and shoulder and back.
