Barbie Botox, also known as Traptox, has become increasingly popular in medical aesthetics, but it’s far from new. This treatment has been popular in China, Japan, and Korea for years, where it’s sought after for its ability to create a slimmer neckline and elegant shoulder line. Recently, it’s gained mainstream attention due to high-profile figures opting for the treatment.
At Omniya Clinic, our skilled practitioners deliver Traptox with precision and care, tailoring it to your cosmetic goals and overall wellbeing.
Barbie Botox prices start from £575.
Traptox involves injecting Botox (botulinum toxin) directly into the trapezius muscles – the large, triangular muscles that run from the base of the skull down the neck, across the shoulders, and into the upper back.
The injections temporarily relax these muscles by blocking nerve signals that cause them to contract. Over time, this relaxation allows the muscles to soften and reduce in bulk, creating:
Botox acts as a neuromodulator, temporarily preventing targeted muscles from contracting. In the case of Traptox, reduced stimulation means the trapezius muscles gradually shrink.
The results aren’t instant – slimming effects typically appear over 2–6 weeks as the muscles reduce in size. Peak results are often seen at 6-8 weeks and can last up to six months.
By reducing trapezius muscle bulk, the neck looks longer, the shoulders appear narrower, and posture often improves visually. This creates the sleek, balanced proportions often associated with the “Barbie” aesthetic.
Traptox isn’t purely cosmetic. It’s also used to relieve:
Patients often describe a lighter, more relaxed sensation in their shoulders after treatment.
Unlike surgical contouring, Traptox is minimally invasive, performed in-clinic in under 30 minutes, with no incisions or recovery period.
Botox has been approved for medical and cosmetic use for over two decades and is used worldwide for both functional and aesthetic purposes.

Aftercare tips:
While some relief from tension may be felt in days, visible slimming develops gradually over several weeks.
No, results last around 4-6 months. The trapezius muscles will slowly regain activity, so maintenance treatments are needed to keep the effect.
Light activity ought to be fine, but avoid intense workouts for 24 hours to prevent Botox migration. Please discuss this with your doctor during the consultation.
