Questions
Frequently asked
What is 'Barbie' or trap tox?
It's a popular name for shoulder slimming, which relaxes the trapezius muscles to create a longer, slimmer-looking neck and shoulder line.
Will it affect my strength?
The trapezius is a large muscle and everyday activities are normally unaffected. If you lift heavy weights, mention it at your consultation so Amna can plan your treatment.
When will I see results?
The shoulders soften gradually, with results developing over around two to four weeks.
How long does it last?
Results typically last around four to six months. This varies from person to person.
Do I need a consultation?
Yes. Anti-wrinkle treatment is a prescription-only medicine, so it's only ever given after a face-to-face consultation. Amna will assess you, check your medical history and make sure it's right for you.
Is it suitable for everyone?
It isn't suitable if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, under 18, have a neuromuscular condition, or have an infection in the area. Some medications may also need checking, so Amna will go through your medical history with you first.
