Traptox / Barbietox
Wrinkle Reduction

Traptox, also playfully known as Barbietox, is a cosmetic treatment that utilises muscle-relaxing solutions to target the trapezius muscles which are located in the upper back and neck. In various movements such as head turning and shoulder shrugging, these muscles play a crucial role. However, chronic tension in this area can lead to a bulky appearance often called "tech neck" or "computer neck." Traptox aims to address this concern by relaxing the trapezius muscle, creating a smoother and more sculpted neck profile - like a Barbie Doll.
Slim, Sculpt, and Soften with Traptox (BarbieTox)
Are your shoulders tight, and does the tension show up both in your movements and how you look? Whether it is neck stiffness from long hours at the desk or a desire for a more feminine shoulder silhouette, Traptox (also known as BarbieTox) is fast becoming a must-have treatment in Sydney.
What Is Traptox & How Does It Work?
Also known as BarbieTox, Traptox involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin (Botox) into the upper trapezius muscles. The purpose is two-pronged: to ease the muscles for a trimmer-looking shoulder and to soothe tightness that can cause problems like headaches.
As the anti-wrinkle injections work, you’ll find that your shoulders become less bulky, your neck becomes longer, and your upper back and neck feel less strained over the following weeks. You can receive this treatment quickly and in under 20 minutes without pain. Many models, dancers, and active people who need to relax their figure often choose to get a Traptox treatment.
Stylish Necklines & Soft Sculpted Silhouettes
Gently injecting muscle relaxants into the upper trapezius makes the neckline more slender, helps the muscles relax and improves general posture. You end up with an elegant upper body form that looks graceful and makes you feel good.

What to Expect During the Treatment
Your session begins with a personalised consultation to assess the shape and tension in your trapezius muscles. We’ll discuss your goals, explain the treatment in full, and map out your tailored injection plan.
Small injections are placed strategically along the upper traps, with the entire procedure taking about 15–20 minutes. There’s no downtime—you can immediately return to work or life.
You may start noticing results within 4–7 days, with full effects visible at 2–3 weeks. Your shoulders will feel softer, your neck will look longer, and your upper body will carry a new lightness.
How Long Does Traptox Last?
The results of Traptox typically last around three to five months, depending on your muscle strength and individual response to the treatment. When you have treatments regularly, your muscles may need less time to recover.
Is Traptox Only Cosmetic?
By no means. Although many clients take Barbietox for body sculpting, some use it to relieve problems like chronic neck and shoulder aches, achy upper traps causing headaches and poor posture. So, if you’re wondering whether Traptox helps with neck pain, many patients report significant relief after treatment.
Who’s a Good Candidate for Traptox?
You may benefit from Traptox if your trapezius muscles appear bulky or overdeveloped, you experience tension headaches or upper back strain, you want a slimmer neck and shoulder profile, or you’re in good health and want a non-surgical solution. Meeting in person is best to assess your muscles and ensure this treatment is safe.
