#Traptox Is Aggressively Taking Over TikTok — But What Exactly Is It?

Welcome to the “trap house.”

We’ve heard of getting botox injections in your hairline, forehead and smile lines, but many are turning their attention to a new kind of injection going viral on TikTok. #TrapTox has entered the chat.

#TrapTox has garnered over 2.6 million views and counting on TikTok and is a botox injection that is inserted into the trapezius muscles. The question is, what is it, and why are the girls fighting over this procedure? Keep reading on for more.

What is traptox?

Focusing on the trapezius muscles aka “the traps” as TikTok has affectionately nicknamed them. The muscles are large triangular points on the back of the necks and upper back that extend across the shoulders.

Those unhappy with these muscles’ appearance have candidly shared that they have turned to traptox to reduce and relax them and contour the shape of these lines, creating the illusion of an elongated neck and helping with posture.

How does traptox work?

To achieve an elongated neck appearance with the popular slimming effect, each trap muscle injection can take up to 40-50 units per side and takes an estimated 10 minutes to complete.

Tension and relief in the neck will be felt within two weeks, with the visual results appearing in four to six weeks’ time.

How long does it last?

Results last around four to six months, but please note this is only a temporary solution.

@blondebeautyinjector Botox in the trap muscle. Releases tension, helps with posture, and can even slim the look of the trapezius and neck. Dosing varies by the strength of the muscle. #botox #trapezius #trapmuscle #trap #trapbotox #trapeziusbotox ♬ Flip A Switch. (Sped Up) – RAYE
