What it is
An off-label aesthetic use in many regions that reduces activity in selected trapezius muscle areas.
Botulinum toxin is injected into mapped parts of a large functional muscle. Medical history, posture, pain and occupational demands matter.
Who it may suit
Adults with a clearly assessed muscle-related concern who want a temporary, non-surgical option.
Who needs extra review
Pregnancy or breastfeeding, infection at the injection site, certain neuromuscular conditions or interacting medicines require medical review.
