Chronic neck tension from an overactive trapezius muscle is epidemic in our screen-dominated world. While social media speaks of a slimmer shoulder line, at minimal med we focus on freedom from the burden of daily life. A relaxed trapezius corrects posture and lets the neck visually breathe — the aesthetic slimming is the welcome side effect of medical relief.

How the Treatment Works
1
Analysis: I palpate the trapezius muscle and identify the tense areas.
2
Discussion: We clarify whether the focus is on pain relief or aesthetic goals as well.
3
Marking: The injection points are precisely marked.
4
Treatment: Multiple small injections into the tense muscle.
5
Follow-up: After 2 weeks, we check the results.
The Screen Epidemic
Why chronic trapezius hypertonia is a modern phenomenon. The cascade: poor posture → muscle hypertrophy → trigger points → tension headache. Why conventional treatment often provides only temporary relief.
Function and Aesthetics in Harmony
The dual effect: functional relief (pain reduction) and aesthetic slimming (slimmer neck, longer neck line). Why we prioritise the medical benefit — aesthetics follows function.
Subtle Impact
Whether medically indicated or for shoulder slimming — this is where you can make a subtle yet effective change.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the trapezius treatment work?
The active ingredient relaxes the overactive trapezius muscle by reducing nerve impulses to the muscle. The muscle can no longer tense as strongly — tension releases and the muscle becomes softer.
Does the treatment also help with headaches?
Yes, for many patients. Tension headaches often arise from chronic tension in the neck and shoulder area. When these are released, headaches often disappear as well.
What is the aesthetic effect?
An overdeveloped or tense trapezius muscle can make the neck appear broader and shorter. After treatment, the shoulder-neck line often looks slimmer and more elegant — especially a desired side effect for women.
Is the treatment painful?
The injections are quite tolerable. The trapezius muscle is less sensitive than the face. Some patients experience mild muscle soreness in the first few days.
Can I exercise after the treatment?
Light movement is no problem. Intensive shoulder exercises (weightlifting, swimming) should be avoided for 24-48 hours so the active ingredient can work optimally.
What does the trapezius treatment cost?
The treatment starts from 499 EUR. The exact cost depends on the size of the area to be treated and the required dosage.
