Traptox is Botox placed into the trapezius, the large muscle running from the base of your neck across the top of your shoulder. Relaxing part of that muscle can ease tension and soften the slope of the shoulder line.
This is not a filler and it is not a weight loss treatment. It works on muscle activity, so it suits people whose trapezius is tight or overdeveloped rather than anyone looking to change body fat.
Most patients notice the effect settle over about two weeks and last three to four months. How long it lasts depends on your dose, the strength of the muscle treated and your own metabolism, so individual results vary.
Your Traptox treatment in Austin is performed by Genniel, RN, a Clinical Aesthetic Nurse Injector. Because the trapezius is a large, strong muscle, placement and dosing matter, and Genniel maps the injection points to your body and goals.
InjectCo is 100% nurse-led. Every Traptox appointment is handled by a trained nurse with physician oversight, so you are working with someone who understands both the clinical side of the treatment and the Austin community they serve.
Approved patients can begin treatment the same day and pay over time instead of all at once.
How it works: apply online with CareCredit or Cherry in a few minutes, get a decision on the spot, then bring your approval to your appointment. Our team can help you compare options during your consultation and apply on the day if you prefer.
Terms and rates are set by the financing provider. Your nurse will walk you through your total cost, including any financing fee, before anything is booked.
Unit counts depend on muscle strength and the area treated, which your nurse assesses in person. The calculator gives a realistic range to plan around.
Pick your treatment areas and get an instant unit and cost estimate. It takes about a minute and gives you a realistic number to bring to your Austin assessment.
Neurotoxin work is often planned across more than one area in a single visit, and sometimes alongside filler when the concern is volume rather than movement. Your nurse assesses which is driving the result you want first.

Traptox is Botox placed in the trapezius muscles, the big muscles that run from your neck out across your shoulders. It relaxes those muscles to ease neck and shoulder tension, help your posture, and soften the shoulder line for a longer-looking neck. It is sometimes called trap tox, trapezius Botox, or Barbie Botox. At InjectCo MedSpa Austin, a nurse injector performs every treatment at $12 per unit.
Yes, for many patients. Relaxing the trapezius with Botox can ease tightness and aches, help the shoulders drop into a more natural line, and soften the look of bulky traps. Results build over about two weeks and last around three to four months for most people. It is not a fix for every kind of neck or shoulder pain, so your nurse will tell you honestly at your consultation whether Traptox is likely to help you.
Traptox uses more units than facial areas because the trapezius is large and strong. The exact number depends on your muscle size, how tight the muscle is, and whether you treat one side or both. Because Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify are each dosed differently, do not compare unit-for-unit across products. Your nurse feels the muscle and counts the exact units at your consultation, so you pay only for what your plan calls for at $12 per unit.
For most patients, Traptox results last about three to four months, though this varies from person to person. The size and strength of your muscles, your dose, and how active you are all play a role. As the effect fades, you can book a touch-up to keep both the comfort and the shoulder line you want. Your nurse will help you plan a simple schedule that fits your goals.
Traptox is a well-established use of FDA-approved Botox, and when placed by a trained nurse injector it has a strong safety record. At InjectCo, every treatment is nurse-led with physician oversight, and we use only genuine products. Mild side effects like temporary soreness, small bruises, or a little redness can happen and fade quickly. Your nurse reviews your health history first and tells you honestly if you are not a good candidate.
It can. When the trapezius muscles relax, many patients find their shoulders sit lower and more even, which can support better posture over time. Traptox does not replace stretching, movement, or strengthening, but it can take the edge off tight traps that pull your shoulders up. Your nurse will explain what results are realistic for you and how to pair the treatment with everyday habits that help.
For many patients, relaxing tight trapezius muscles eases the daily tension and aches that build up from stress or long hours at a desk. Some patients also notice fewer tension headaches that start in the shoulders and neck. Traptox is not a treatment for every cause of neck or shoulder pain, so your nurse will talk through your history and set honest expectations at your consultation.
Traptox usually starts to show in a few days after your appointment, with full results by about two weeks. Give it the full two weeks before you judge the result, since a large muscle can take a little time to respond. If you feel you need a small adjustment after that, your nurse can check you at a follow-up. Everyone responds a bit differently, so timing can vary.
