Relaxation & Recovery

Trap Tox is a botulinum toxin injection treatment targeting the trapezius muscle — the large muscle spanning the upper back, shoulders, and neck that is most commonly responsible for the bulky, tense, “raised shoulder” appearance associated with chronic stress, poor posture, and prolonged desk-based work. By relaxing the trapezius, Trap Tox produces both an aesthetic slimming effect through the neck and shoulder line, and a genuine reduction in the chronic tension and tightness many patients carry in this area without realising how habitual it has become.

Many patients are surprised by how much physical relief accompanies the aesthetic result — tension headaches and neck stiffness originating from a chronically tight trapezius frequently improve alongside the visible slimming effect.

Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to lift the skin and superficial fascia away from the underlying muscle, mechanically releasing adhesions and tension that have built up within the muscle and connective tissue. The negative pressure draws blood flow to the treated area, supporting circulation, lymphatic drainage, and the body’s natural recovery processes in the muscles and soft tissue beneath.

At PHP Aesthetic-Wellness, cupping is most commonly used on the back, shoulders, and neck — the areas where physical tension from stress and prolonged sitting most often accumulates — and is frequently combined with Trap Tox or as a standalone recovery session for patients managing chronic muscular tightness.

LPG Endermologie applies precise, motorised roller-and-suction stimulation to the body’s soft tissue — the only non-invasive technology to have received US FDA clearance for both aesthetic and recovery indications. Beyond its body-contouring applications, LPG is highly effective as a recovery treatment: the mechanical stimulation improves lymphatic drainage, reduces muscular tension, and accelerates the clearance of metabolic waste from tired or overworked tissue.

Many patients use LPG sessions specifically for recovery and relaxation rather than body contouring — valued for the genuinely therapeutic sensation of the treatment as much as for its physiological effect on circulation and tension.

While Trap Tox, cupping, and LPG address physical tension directly, true recovery is also systemic. IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system to replenish what chronic stress, poor sleep, and physical depletion draw down. Hydration, energy, and recovery-focused formulations support the body’s capacity to recover at a cellular level, complementing the physical work of the other treatments in this programme.

Every infusion is prescribed following a brief medical assessment by Dr Philippe Hamida-Pisal or Dr Jihyun Byun, ensuring the formulation genuinely matches what the body needs rather than a generic drip.
