Shoulder Pain Relief

Service Description

Botulinum toxin can be used therapeutically to relieve chronic shoulder, neck, and upper back tension caused by overactive muscles, spasm, or postural strain. By relaxing specific muscles — often the trapezius or surrounding musculature — this treatment reduces discomfort, improves mobility, and supports better posture without surgery or long-term medication. This treatment is ideal for clients who experience chronic shoulder tension, stiffness, or discomfort related to stress, repetitive movement, posture, or muscle overactivity. Relief is subtle yet effective, improving quality of life and functional movement while maintaining natural muscle tone and strength. At Aisha Khayat Aesthetics, I use Azzalure®, a prescription-only botulinum toxin chosen for its safety, precision, and predictable results when administered by a clinician with advanced anatomical knowledge. Consultation & Prescription A full medical consultation is required before treatment. I will assess your muscle activity, range of motion, pain areas, and medical history to determine suitability. Treatment is only performed if clinically appropriate, ensuring safe and effective results tailored to your needs. Treatment Experience The procedure takes approximately 10–20 minutes. Ultra-fine needles are used to deliver precise doses into overactive shoulder and upper back muscles. Mild discomfort may be experienced at injection sites, but downtime is minimal. Most clients resume normal activities immediately, with progressive relief over the following days. Results Initial muscle relaxation is usually noticed within 3–7 days, with full benefits appearing by 2 weeks. Effects typically last 3–4 months, depending on individual muscle activity. Clients report reduced pain, improved shoulder mobility, decreased muscle tightness, and enhanced posture. Pre- & Post-Treatment Guidance Avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior to treatment Avoid anti-inflammatory medications or supplements such as fish oil or vitamin E for several days beforehand to reduce bruising Post-treatment, avoid vigorous shoulder activity or heavy lifting for 24–48 hours You will receive full aftercare instructions and have direct access to me post-procedure for any concerns. A review appointment at two weeks is offered if refinement or adjustment is needed.
