Trap Botox prices at Dernia (2026)

Trapezius Botox, often called trap or shoulder Botox, relaxes the upper part of the muscle that runs from the side of the neck to the top of the shoulder. When that muscle is bulky, the neck can look short and the shoulders square. As it relaxes over a few weeks, the slope from neck to shoulder looks longer and softer. At Dernia Clinic Myeongdong, prices start higher than for the jaw because the trapezius is a large muscle that needs a bigger dose.

Option	Dose	Price (KRW)
Korean toxin	Standard dose, both sides	₩129,000
Korean toxin	Higher dose for a larger muscle, both sides	₩189,000
Xeomin (Germany)	Standard dose, both sides	₩349,000
Botox (Allergan, USA)	Standard dose, both sides	₩459,000

Prices are in Korean won (KRW), exclude 10% VAT, and are confirmed at your consultation. Your doctor checks the size of the muscle before recommending a standard or higher dose.

What's included

A consultation in English with a licensed medical doctor, who assesses the muscle with your shoulders relaxed and raised
Injection of both sides with a fine needle, which takes about 10–15 minutes
Ice afterwards if you would like it
Aftercare advice, such as skipping heavy upper-body workouts for a day and avoiding deep massage on the area for the first few days

What affects the price

Dose: the trapezius varies a lot in size. People who lift weights, carry heavy bags or simply have strong shoulders may need the higher dose.
Toxin brand: Korean toxins such as Botulax and Nabota cost least. Imported Xeomin and Allergan Botox cost more, and the gap is wider than for small areas because more product is used. Our guide to Korean and imported toxin brands explains the differences.
Other areas the same day: many people add jaw Botox for a balanced neck and jawline. Each area is priced separately.

How many sessions you need and the cost over a year

The change usually starts to show at around two weeks and becomes clearer over the following month. It lasts about four to six months. To keep the shape, two or three sessions a year at the Korean-toxin standard dose come to about ₩258,000–₩387,000 before VAT. Some people find the muscle stays smaller after several rounds and can space treatments further apart. Because the effect develops after you leave, trap Botox fits short trips well. Some people also say their shoulders feel less tense, but it is offered here as a cosmetic treatment, not a treatment for neck or back pain.

How to compare trap Botox prices between clinics

Trap Botox quotes vary more than most because the dose is large. A very low price may cover a small dose that gives little visible change. Ask which toxin brand is used, how many units go into each side and whether both sides are included. Our guide to shots, lines and cc covers how Korean clinics price treatments and what to ask.

VAT and payment

The ₩129,000 option comes to ₩141,900 once 10% VAT is added. The VAT refund on cosmetic procedures for foreign patients ended on January 1, 2026, so the VAT-inclusive figure is what you will pay. See payment and tax at Dernia for details.

Alternatives at different budgets

Jaw Botox from ₩59,000 for both sides, to slim a square jaw; often combined with trap Botox
Wrinkle Botox from ₩39,000 per area, for forehead, frown or crow's feet lines
Fat-dissolving injections from ₩69,000 per area, when the concern is a small pocket of fat rather than muscle

How much is trap Botox in Seoul?

At Dernia, trap Botox starts from ₩129,000 for both sides with a Korean toxin at a standard dose, before 10% VAT. A higher dose is ₩189,000, and Xeomin or Allergan Botox cost ₩349,000 and ₩459,000.

How much toxin does trap Botox need?

The trapezius usually needs a much larger dose than the jaw. The exact amount depends on the size of your muscle and the brand, because units are not interchangeable between every brand. Your doctor confirms the dose at your consultation.

Will trap Botox make my arms or shoulders weak?

The aim is to relax the upper part of the muscle for shape, so everyday movement is not affected. Some people notice mild fatigue when lifting heavy weights overhead for a few weeks. Tell your doctor if you train hard so they can plan the dose.

Does trap Botox help with shoulder pain?

Some people say their shoulders feel less tense afterwards, but we offer it as a cosmetic treatment. Ongoing neck or shoulder pain should be assessed by a doctor first.

Who should avoid trap Botox?

Avoid it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a neuromuscular condition such as myasthenia gravis, or have an infection in the area. Mention blood thinners, which raise the chance of bruising. Your doctor confirms suitability.
