​​Trap Botox:  Tension Relief & Neck Definition Right This Way

Trap tox. Sure you’ve heard of it, But what is it, exactly? If you've been following the treatment options I, Danielle Smith, Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and Miami botox and filler specialist, offer at smith & co., you know I'm passionate about procedures that deliver both aesthetic and functional benefits. One currently making headlines is Trap Botox.

This innovative treatment targets the trapezius muscles—those large muscles extending from your neck to your shoulders—with precisely placed Botox injections. The results? A beautifully defined neck profile coupled with remarkable tension relief.

During consultations I find myself frequently explaining that it’s been really good for patients—especially with tension (even more so than the aesthetic slimming effect).  The therapeutic benefits often surprise clients who initially come seeking purely cosmetic improvements.

One of the unique aspects of my approach is targeted precision. We can even do trigger pressure points, which addresses specific areas of discomfort for those struggling with chronic tension or stress-related tightness.

Who Benefits Most?

I've found patterns in who responds best to this treatment. The patients that benefit the most are usually the ones with strong masseters and strong platysmas bands. If you're someone who holds tension in your jaw or has pronounced neck muscles, you may be an ideal candidate.

My Treatment Protocol

At Smith & Co., I've refined my approach to maximize results: I usually start with stronger dose—so an initial investment, typically 40-60 units per side for first-time treatments. This provides immediate relief and visible definition.

For comprehensive results, I recommend complementary habits: You can even work on posture training to help build other muscles and keep the traps suppressed. This holistic approach extends and enhances your results.

Maintenance Made Simple

The good news? Your maintenance needs decrease over time. On maintenance, the dose tends to be much lower, making ongoing care more affordable and convenient. Most of my clients see their needs decrease significantly. We go down by 20 per side (20-40) on maintenance and then usually can keep going down till we are around 10-20 per side. At $13/unit, your investment delivers dual benefits of aesthetics and relief—with decreasing costs over time.
