Skin Concern
Chronic Muscle Tension
Muscles that forgot how to let go.

Understanding
What’s really
going on
Chronic muscle tension develops when the muscles of the neck and shoulders, especially the trapezius, hold a low-grade contraction for weeks or months at a time. Desk work, stress and posture all feed it. Massage and stretching bring relief, but often only briefly, because the muscle returns to the same guarded, tightened state as soon as the session ends.
Dr. Sarai treats persistent neck and trapezius tension with Botox® or Xeomin®, injected precisely into the muscles doing the overwork. The medication reduces the muscle’s constant contraction, giving it a chance to let go, with the effect building over days and typically lasting three to four months. Whether this approach suits your tension, and the dose it would take, is decided together at your consultation.
