Quick answerTraptox, also called trap Botox or trapezius Botox, is Botox® injected into the upper part of the trapezius muscle, between the neck and the shoulders. Relaxing the muscle can make it look smaller over several weeks, so the neck looks longer and the shoulder line softer.
Some people call the look "Barbie Botox". The goal is a smoother slope from your neck to your shoulders, not weaker arms: the arm and shoulder muscles you lift with are left alone.
Traptox is an off-label use. The FDA has approved Botox® Cosmetic for frown lines, crow's feet, forehead lines and neck bands, not for the trapezius.1 It is also not approved for neck pain or tension headaches, and a 2016 neurology guideline rated Botox probably ineffective for chronic tension-type headache.2 Your nurse explains the benefits, risks and options before you decide.
The trapezius is a big muscle, so units add up. We tell you how many, what they cost and what to expect before the first injection, at the same price at all nine Texas clinics, rated 4.9 from 1,000+ Google reviews.

"Will this weaken my shoulders?"
Your nurse treats the upper trapezius only. Some people notice the area feels tired or weak at first, especially when lifting overhead, so tell us about your workouts.
"How long until I see a change?"
The muscle relaxes first; any slimming shows gradually over several weeks.
"Will it help my tension headaches?"
We cannot promise that. Botox is not approved for tension headaches, and a 2016 neurology guideline rated it probably ineffective for chronic tension-type headache.2 If headaches are your main concern, see your doctor.
At every InjectCo clinic, your treatment is done by a Nurse Injector. At InjectCo Dallas it may be Shelby, PA-C, a physician assistant.
Treatments at InjectCo are provided under the medical direction of Dr. Josh Allen, D.O., Medical Director, who oversees InjectCo's treatment protocols and safety standards across all nine Texas locations.
No commitment. If Traptox is not right for you, we will tell you at your free consultation.

Traptox is priced per unit of Botox: $7.77 per unit with the $24.99/month InjectCo membership, or $12 per unit without it. There is no label dose for the trapezius, so your nurse sets the units per side, and your total is confirmed before treatment, the same at all nine clinics.
Examples show the math, not a quote. More detail: how much does Traptox cost. Payment plans are available.
The muscle relaxes first, and any slimming shows gradually over several weeks as it gets smaller. The effect wears off over months, so most people repeat it a few times a year. Results vary.
Soreness, swelling or bruising where the needle went in, and headache.1
The shoulders or neck can feel tired or weak for a while, especially when lifting overhead.
Toxin spreading beyond the treated area can cause trouble swallowing, speaking or breathing, hours to weeks after treatment. Get medical help right away.1

The effect wears off over several months, so most people repeat it a few times a year. Results vary.
There is no FDA label dose for the trapezius, because Traptox is an off-label use. The muscle is large, so it usually takes more units than face areas; your nurse sets the units per side after checking the muscle.
It is priced per unit: $7.77 per unit with the $24.99/month membership, or $12 per unit. For example, 50 units is $388.50 with the membership or $600 without. Your total is confirmed first.
