What Is TrapTox?
TrapTox is an injectable treatment to relax the trapezius muscles, commonly nicknamed the traps. This large muscle group starts from the neck, expands to the top of each shoulder, and runs down the upper back in an inverted triangle. Overworked trapezius muscles can become tight and stiff. The resulting tension in your neck, shoulders, and upper back can lead to discomfort and postural problems.
By getting Botox injections in your traps, you can block the nerve signals that cause these muscles to become overworked with constant movement. The absence of stiffness and pain will improve your posture, make your neck appear longer, and smooth your shoulders and upper back.
Botox is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that safely blocks nerve signals to stop unwanted muscular movement. Its use in minimizing facial wrinkles like crow’s feet and forehead furrows has made it the world’s most sought-after non-surgical treatment. When performed by an experienced provider, TrapTox requires no downtime and has little to no risk.
TrapTox treatments are also quick, with each session taking only a few minutes to complete. After your treatment, you can resume your daily activities without pausing for recovery. The effects can last between three and six months, after which you can decide to retain them through maintenance injections.
At Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery, our team of seasoned plastic surgeons will sit down with you in a detailed consultation to help you decide whether to commit to TrapTox. During this discussion, we’ll take time to understand your concerns, ask you about your goals, and assess your medical history to ensure TrapTox is safe for you.

What Happens During TrapTox Injections?
When you get your TrapTox treatment at Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery, your session will take place in our comfortable, state-of-the-art office. After welcoming you, our qualified team members will ensure you know what to expect before starting the treatment.

The injections take approximately 15 minutes, after which you can leave our treatment facility and resume most of your daily activities right away. However, you still need to follow specific aftercare instructions like taking a day off exercise and not lying down for a few hours after your treatment.

These should resolve on their own within a few days.
