Traptox, also called trap tox or trapezius Botox, treats the big muscles that run from your neck to your shoulders. When those muscles are tight from stress, desk work, or heavy training, they can pull your shoulders up, cause aches, and make your neck look shorter.
Relaxing these muscles with Botox can ease that tension, help your shoulders drop into a more natural line, and give your neck a longer, softer look.
At InjectCo, a nurse injector administers your treatment, and our Austin med spa services all run on the same nurse-led standard. Our clinic sits on the Burnet Road corridor in North Austin, near Crestview, a short drive from Mopac and US-183.


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.
As a registered nurse, Genniel takes the time to explain what to expect and to answer your questions first. You will meet her at your free consultation, discuss your neck and shoulder concerns, and get an honest read on whether Traptox is the right fit for you.
Traptox at InjectCo Austin starts at $12 per unit. The trapezius is a large, strong muscle, which means that Traptox uses more units than a facial Botox treatment, so plan for a higher unit count than you would for wrinkles and fine lines.
Your total cost depends on the size and strength of your muscles and whether you treat one side or both. Traptox commonly uses more units per session than facial areas, and your nurse confirms the exact unit count at your consultation.
You can estimate your own cost with InjectCo’s Instant Price Simulator. Your nurse confirms your units and total before treatment.
Traptox is one of those treatments that can help with how you feel and look at the same time. When the traps relax, many patients notice their shoulders sit lower and more even, which can help posture over time.
Traptox also softens the sharp slope from the neck to the shoulder, giving the neck a longer, more graceful-looking line. Results build over a couple of weeks and, for most patients, last around three to four months. Your nurse will recommend a suitable treatment plan.
You can see more Botox results from Austin patients in our before and after gallery. Evening and weekend slots tend to fill first, so it helps to book ahead.

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 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 free consultation whether Traptox is likely to help you.
Traptox at InjectCo Austin starts at $12 per unit, with a member rate of $9 per unit. Because the trapezius is a large, strong muscle, Traptox uses more units than a facial treatment, so the total is usually higher than something like frown lines. Your exact total depends on your muscle size and whether you treat one or both sides. A free consultation sets your unit count and price, and you only pay for what you need.
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 free 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.
