Shoulder Slimming
Looking to create a more contoured shoulder line without surgery? Shoulder slimming with Botox is a non-invasive treatment designed to soften the appearance of broad or muscular shoulders by relaxing the trapezius muscles.
An ideal for individuals who feel their shoulders appear too bulky or square. Botox shoulder contouring offers a subtle yet noticeable improvement in posture, neck elongation, and upper body balance.
What is Shoulder Slimming?
Shoulder slimming using Botox focuses on the trapezius muscle, a large muscle that spans the back of the neck and shoulders. In some individuals, the traps can become overdeveloped due to posture or regular workouts, leading to a more masculine or square appearance.
By precisely injecting Botox into the trapezius muscles, they start to relax over tiem. Therefore reducing its bulk and creating a slimmer, more tapered shoulder line.
This technique has gained popularity both for its aesthetic benefits and its ability to relieve tension caused by overactive trap muscles, especially in those who experience chronic neck or shoulder tightness.
How does the treatment work?
The procedure involves a series of Botox injections directly into the trapezius muscles on both sides of the shoulders. The botulinum toxin blocks nerve signals to the muscle, gradually weakening its activity. As the muscle relaxes and is used less, it begins to reduce in size—a process known as muscle atrophy.
This controlled slimming effect:
- Softens the shoulder line
- Elongates the neck visually
- Improves posture
- Reduces shoulder tension
What to expect after treatment:
You may feel slight soreness or tightness in the treated muscles, this usually fades within a few days.
When to expect results:
While results are not immediate, most clients begin to see subtle changes in their shoulder shape within 2 to 4 weeks. The full slimming effect typically becomes visible by 6 to 8 weeks post-treatment, as the muscle gradually reduces in size.
While one session may be enough for mild cases, some individuals benefit from a second treatment after 8 to 12 weeks, especially if the muscle is overdeveloped.
The results generally last 4 to 6 months, and regular treatments can maintain or further enhance the slimming effect. With each session, the trapezius muscle becomes less dominant, allowing for a consistently more refined appearance.
