Benefits of Botox Trapezius treatment in Singapore

1) Shoulder Slimming

When injecting botox into the portion of the trapezius muscle between the neck and shoulder, it helps to relax the muscle fibers in this specific portion, inducing a process called muscular disuse atrophy.

In simple terms, when a muscle is relaxed and rarely used, it shrinks in size over time.

This reduction in trapezius size would help to slim and contour the neck and shoulder line, giving a more feminine and attractive appearance which is the aim of the shoulder slimming treatment.

The muscle relaxation benefits of botox can also help to relieve pain and tension in the lower neck and shoulder muscles. This is beneficial for people with sports injury or chronic pain from certain types of occupation.
