When the neurotoxin is injected into each trapezius muscle at the bottom of the neck, it cuts the connection to the nerve, temporarily paralyzing the muscle. Over time, this causes the trapezius to shrink, which makes the person\u2019s neck look longer, and more slender, kind of like that of a plastic doll, hence the name\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/isabelle.lux_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Isabelle Lux\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt came from the idea that you would look more like a Barbie when you get it done, which I don\u2019t think is a bad thing,\u201d TikTok influencer Isabelle Lux,, who had the procedure done for a wedding, told <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/style\/what-is-barbie-botox\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CNN<\/a>. \u201cIt elongates the neck, slims the shoulders, and creates a very delicate physique when it\u2019s done properly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A 1-month reveal photo posted by Lux went viral a while ago, kickstarting a Barbie Botox trend on TikTok, and while the difference is definitely visible, the influencer clarifies that the procedure is not without risk, so people shouldn\u2019t just rush into it. She had to deal with pain and stiffness in her back and shoulders and the visual effect of the procedure doesn\u2019t occur overnight. Apparently, it takes two weeks to see noticeable results and two months for the full effects to be visible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"Trdiu1EP_hM\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Thinking Of Getting Barbie Botox? | Barrett Plastic Surgery\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Trdiu1EP_hM?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was actually quite scared,\u201d Lux said. \u201cOnce (Botox) is in, there\u2019s nothing you can do to reverse it. I think that you need to go to a surgeon or a medical doctor. If you\u2019re not able to get it done at the right place, I would say it\u2019s honestly not worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The amount of botox injected into the trapezius muscles depends on the size of the muscles, but it usually varies between 40 and 75 units of neurotoxin. The effects usually last between four and six months. The cost of the procedure depends on the amount of botox required by the patient, with prices starting at around $200 for 20 units of neurotoxin. In Isabelle Lux\u2019s case, the treatment cost a reported $1,200.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"KFfoUfZ7ljk\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Everything You Need To Know About The \u2018Barbie Botox\u2019 Craze | This Morning\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KFfoUfZ7ljk?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This is only the latest cosmetic procedure to achieve trend status.
