Shoulder Slimming
Shoulder slimming is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure that reduces the size of the trapezius muscles, creating slimmer, more elegant shoulders and giving the appearance of an elongated neck. The treatment targets hypertrophic, overactive, or overdeveloped muscles, producing a refined and proportionate upper-body silhouette.
How It Works
Precise injections of neurotoxin into the trapezius muscles cause a gradual reduction in muscle size over 4 – 8 weeks. The neurotoxin temporarily relaxes the targeted muscles, preventing them from bulking up and allowing them to naturally reduce in volume.
As the neurotoxin gradually takes effect, the treatment creates a more streamlined shoulder contour whilst visually elongating the neck, resulting in a softer, more feminine or refined upper-body appearance.

FAQs
Will this affect my strength or ability to exercise?
Is the treatment painful?
The injections involve minimal discomfort, similar to other neurotoxin treatments. Most patients tolerate the procedure very well without anaesthetic, though a topical numbing cream can be applied if preferred.
How long does the treatment take?
The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes, and you can return to your normal activities immediately afterward.
When will I see results?
Results develop gradually over 4–8 weeks as the trapezius muscles reduce in size. You’ll notice a progressive slimming of the shoulder contour and elongation of the neck during this time.
How often do I need treatment?
Results typically last 4–6 months. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 4–6 months to sustain the slimmer shoulder appearance.
