Anti Wrinkle Treatment is most well known for its ability to smoothen fine lines, prevent wrinkle formation and slim the jawline. But it also can be used to slim down certain body parts that may be bigger in size due to everyday movement or genetics, such as the shoulders and arms.
If you have bulky shoulders and arms and want to downsize them to accentuate your femininity, our shoulder and arm slimming treatment might be the solution for you.
How Shoulder and Arm Slimming Treatment Works
Mechanism of action – Temporary nerve signal blockage
Shoulder and arm slimming treatment temporarily blocks nerve signals to specific muscles. This action causes the muscle to relax and shrink over time, which helps slim and contour the neckline, arm and shoulder profile.
Targeting specific shoulder and arm muscles
During a shoulder and arm slimming procedure, the injections are strategically administered to target the muscles that contribute to a bulky shoulder appearance, which is the trapezius muscle. The trapezius muscle (or traps, shortened) is a large diamond-shaped muscle that runs along the neck, shoulders and upper back.
The treatment targets specific overdeveloped muscles in the upper arms, such as the deltoid, biceps or triceps. Relaxing these muscles creates a smoother, more streamlined arm profile.
Benefits of Shoulder and Arm Slimming
Fast results, compared to exercise and diet
One of the primary advantages of this treatment is the speed of results. While lifestyle changes can take time to show significant effects, this treatment provides a more immediate solution for those seeking a prompt transformation.
Non-invasive nature of the procedure
Unlike surgical interventions, this treatment is a non-invasive procedure requiring no incisions, stitches, or lengthy recovery periods. You can achieve your desired arm and shoulder aesthetics without the risks and downtime associated with surgical alternatives.
Minimal downtime and recovery
After the procedure, you can resume your daily activities with minimal disruption. Not having to set time apart for downtime makes it attractive for those with busy lifestyles, as there’s no need for extended periods of rest or recovery.
Customisable results
Every woman is unique, and so are her aesthetic preferences. This treatment allows for a tailored approach, enabling you to work closely with your aesthetic provider to achieve the desired shoulder contour.
Potential improvement in overall shoulder and arm aesthetics
Beyond the size reduction, this treatment may contribute to an overall improvement in shoulder and arm aesthetics. The procedure can reduce overdeveloped trapezius muscles and create sculpted, slender shoulders and arms.
Improvement in back and shoulder pain
This treatment can help ease any neck or shoulder tension by relaxing your shoulder muscles – this is especially helpful for those with desk-bound jobs.
Temporary nature of results
Results are temporary. Muscle activity gradually returns to normal as the body metabolises it over time. This transient nature allows you to assess the outcome and decide whether you want additional treatments.
Expected timeline for seeing results
Most individuals begin to see the effects within a few days to a couple of weeks, with the full results typically showing within a month.
The Procedure
Pre-procedure consultation and assessment
A thorough consultation is essential before undergoing a shoulder and arm slimming procedure. A qualified aesthetic provider will assess your anatomy, discuss your goals, and ensure you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.
Administration of shoulder and arm slimming treatment
During the procedure, Anti Wrinkle Treatment solution is administered through a series of injections. The precision of these injections is crucial to achieving the desired results while avoiding unnecessary effects on surrounding muscles.
Pain management and anaesthesia options
While the procedure is generally well-tolerated, you may opt for pain management options such as numbing creams. The procedure is relatively quick, which minimises any discomfort experienced during the process.
Post-procedure care and instructions
After the shoulder slimming procedure, you will receive specific post-care instructions. These may include avoiding strenuous workouts for a short period and refraining from massaging the treated area. Adhering to these guidelines helps optimise the results and minimise potential side effects.
Risks and Side Effects
After the procedure, you may experience mild side effects such as redness, swelling or bruising at the injection site – these are temporary and should subside within a few days. In rare instances, there may be infections or imbalance of muscles on both sides.
Who is a Good Candidate?
If you are dissatisfied with the size and shape of your shoulders and arms, or simply want a more slender and feminine silhouette, shoulder and arm slimming treatment is an ideal solution for you. It is also suitable if you want to improve your posture and/or any symptoms of upper back, shoulder and neck pain.
Contraindications and factors to consider
Certain medical conditions or medications may contraindicate shoulder and arm slimming treatment. A comprehensive medical history review during the pre-procedure consultation helps identify any potential issues and ensures the safety of the individual.
Realistic expectations for results
Having realistic expectations is crucial for satisfaction with any cosmetic procedure. While this treatment offers a non-invasive solution for shoulder slimming, they must understand that results are temporary and may require maintenance treatments to prolong the effects.

FAQ
How long do results last?
Results last for about 6 to 12 months. While the results of shoulder slimming are temporary, many women find the benefits worthy of pursuing periodic maintenance treatments. Follow-up appointments allow for adjustments and ensure the longevity of the desired outcomes.
Can this treatment reduce neck and shoulder pain?
Yes, shoulder and arm slimming treatment can relieve neck and shoulder pain and correct posture.
How can I tell if the size of my shoulders are muscle or fat?
Like any other body part, pinch your shoulders – if they feel soft to the touch, they are likely fat. Please note that botox shoulder slimming only works for those with overdeveloped trapezius muscles – if your large shoulders are caused by fat accumulation, consider other body contouring treatments like Lightfective ReBorn instead.
How soon can I see results?
You may start seeing some early results in a couple of weeks. Final results usually happen after 1 or 2 months, depending on the individual’s muscle size and amount of Anti Wrinkle solution administered.
Can I still exercise after treatment?
We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 2-3 days after treatment. After treatment, the trapezius may feel weaker, which affects certain exercises such as overhead weight lifting.
