Many people think that “shoulder Botox (trapezius Botox) is the same no matter where you get it.”

In reality, there are several important points to consider. When performed correctly, shoulder Botox can refine the shoulder line and greatly improve the appearance from the neck to the shoulders.

Key Points for Shoulder Botox

1. Dosage Matters

Shoulder Botox often requires 200 units or more.

This means risks such as antibody formation, compensatory muscle hypertrophy, or systemic effects if the toxin spreads through the bloodstream must be carefully considered. Choosing a physician who understands these risks is more important than simply choosing by price.

2. Understanding Muscle Anatomy

The trapezius muscle spans from the head down to the mid-back.

If injections are placed incorrectly, the neck may actually appear bulkier and less attractive. Precise anatomical knowledge is essential to achieve natural results.

3. Adjusting Frequency and Dosage

The effectiveness and duration vary greatly among individuals.

Many patients do not recall how many units they received at other clinics. By staying with the same clinic, where past dosages and outcomes are tracked, treatments can be safer and more effective.

4. Considering Other Muscles

Shoulder fullness is not only caused by the trapezius. One common culprit is the levator scapulae.

If several trapezius treatments fail to deliver results, Botox injections under ultrasound guidance into the levator scapulae may be an effective option.

5. Influence of Physical Condition

Botox is highly sensitive to the body’s condition.

Because botulinum toxin is delicate to temperature, variations in body condition or body heat can affect how well it works. Timing and proper health management influence outcomes significantly.

Botox Products Used

At our clinic, we offer multiple products to suit patient needs:

• Nabota: Korean-made, cost-effective
• Coretox: A next-generation Botox designed to reduce the risk of antibody formation

Each has unique features, and we recommend the most suitable option based on the individual.

Conclusion

Shoulder Botox is not “just another injection.”

The dosage, anatomical understanding, timing, and injection technique all matter. When performed with care by an experienced physician, shoulder Botox can achieve a natural, refined shoulder line safely and effectively.
