What is Trap Tox?

Shoulder Slimming, or also commonly known as Trap Tox, is a targeted aesthetic treatment aimed at the trapezius muscles in the upper back and neck. Using neurotoxins, this procedure works to reduce both the size and tension of these muscles, creating a more elegant neck and shoulder silhouette. It's particularly beneficial for those who carry tension in their upper body or wish to reduce muscle prominence. Proudly serving the Greater Toronto Area, we provide Trap Tox treatments as part of a comprehensive suite of services.

  • Side Effects

    Common side effects may include temporary discomfort, redness, bruising, minor swelling at the injection site. These typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days. Any severe or persistent side effects should be reported to our clinic immediately.

  • Benefits

    • No Recovery Period: One of the significant advantages of Trap Tox is that there's no recovery period needed after treatment. You can return to your regular activities immediately after the session. 
    • Non-Surgical: As a non-invasive treatment, Trap Tox offers a non-surgical alternative for those looking to enhance their upper body aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to your questions about Trap Tox in our FAQ section. Covering a range of topics from treatment expectations to post-procedure care, this section provides key information to guide you on your journey towards a more refined neck and shoulder shape.

  • Can Trap Tox help with shoulder or neck pain?

    While the primary goal of Trap Tox is to aesthetically reduce the size and prominence of the trapezius muscles, it can have additional benefits. The use of neurotoxins in the treatment relaxes these muscles, which may help relieve some tension-related discomfort in the neck and shoulders. Therefore, those suffering from persistent tension or tightness in this area may find an added benefit to this treatment. 

  • Are there other areas that can be treated with neurotoxins apart from Trap Tox?

    Absolutely. Apart from Trap Tox, Aesthetic Nurse Priscilla uses neurotoxins like Dysport for a variety of treatments targeting different areas. 


    This includes procedures like Facial Slimming, which focuses on the masseter muscles in the jaw, Hyperhidrosis treatment for excessive sweating, and Lip Flip for a fuller lip appearance. Your consultation will help determine the most suitable treatments for your unique aesthetic goals.
