My favorite spot in my weekly hot yoga class is directly facing a full-length mirror. Enjoying an unobstructed view of my body allows me to make minuscule adjustments. Recently, however, I've been zeroing in on my shoulders, where my trapezius muscle looks bulkier and more sloped than ever. Yoga poses like Dolphin can help loosen the trap muscle-but maybe not enough for me, since I spent much of the pandemic hunched over my laptop. Body Botox, the latest aesthetic trend, might be able to help.
"Body Botox is the next frontier," says Lara Devgan, MD, a plastic surgeon in New York. She explains that the neurotoxin can help streamline and release hyperactive muscles and address minute muscle pain in some off-label uses. Trapezius Botox, colloquially called "traptox" or "Barbie Botox" (referring to the doll's angular shoulder line), is one of the most common forms of this neurotoxin-fueled muscle-slimming treatment.
