Trapezius / shoulder treatment targets at the upper portion of trapezius which is a large muscle that covers the neck, shoulder and the back. In a few weeks, the treated muscles start to relax and soften, resulting in a reduction in size and a longer neck. The treatment also helps reduce the neck and shoulder tension from overused or overdeveloped muscles.

What are the side effects? 

Minimal discomfort can occur. Over-treating the muscle can result in patients temporarily being unable to shrug the shoulders or raise their arms properly. During our consultation, a treatment plan will be discussed tailoring to the individual muscle size and desired treatment outcome.

How many treatments would I consider?

• Some people with large and trained muscles may need another treatment within the first 3 months to get a more significant result.

• 2-4 treatments every 4-6 months may be required to achieve long-lasting reduction outcome

• Revisit once a year is commonly required to maintain results

Post treatment care:

• Refrain from doing strenuous activities for 24 hours after the procedure

Contraindications:

• Skin infection at the planned treatment site

• Patients with systemic neuromuscular junction disorders (eg myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)

• Pregnancy or breast-feeding, or planning to try for pregnancy in the next three months

How soon will I see the results?

• Tension usually improves within the first 1 - 2 weeks post treatment.

• The slimming effect usually start to appear after 4 weeks, and full results may take up to 2 months. Some patients may need a second session within the first 3 months to get a more significant result.

How long will the results last?

• Results usually last 4-6 months depending on individual factors. However, longevity of results can be affected by intense workouts that train the muscles.
