The upper trapezius bulks up from desk posture, heavy training and clenched stress. Relaxing it with Botox lets the shoulders sit lower, lengthens the look of the neck and eases the tightness that leads to tension headaches.
Our physicians in Barboursville palpate the muscle and place several injections across each upper trap, typically 25–40 units per side, in about 15 minutes. Tension eases within two weeks; the slimming effect develops over four to eight weeks as the muscle de-bulks, and lasts four to six months. Pricing is by unit at $10, so a typical treatment runs about $500–$800. Strength for lifting is preserved — only the over-active upper fibers relax.
Knots you can’t massage out, shoulders that creep toward your ears at a desk.
Headaches that start at the base of the skull and shoulders.
From training, posture or genetics — a slimmer shoulder line and a longer-looking neck.
Strapless dresses and open necklines; treat 6–8 weeks ahead.
Counteracts the hunch that builds from screens.
Fifteen minutes, no downtime, no change to daily strength.
Your physician assesses your shoulder line and tension pattern and marks the injection points.
Several small injections across each upper trapezius; about 15 minutes, no numbing needed.
Tension eases within two weeks; visible slimming develops over 4–8 weeks.
Repeat every 4–6 months; results often last longer after the first few rounds.
This is a larger muscle than the face and dosing matters: enough to relax the over-active fibers, not so much that you lose function. Our physicians dose to your build, follow up at two weeks, and publish the price — $10 per unit.

No. Only the upper, over-active portion of the trapezius is treated. Lifting, carrying and workouts continue normally; some patients notice heavy overhead lifts feel slightly different for a few weeks.
Tension relief comes first, within two weeks. The visible slimming develops over four to eight weeks as the muscle de-bulks.
Four to six months. Repeat treatments tend to last longer and keep the shoulder line slimmer between visits.
Many patients with tension-type headaches that begin in the neck and shoulders report significant relief. It is not a treatment for migraine, which we can discuss separately.
A brief pinch per injection. No numbing is needed and there is no downtime.
