Botox for Platysmal Bands – A Softer, More Youthful Neck

Botox for Platysmal Bands – A Softer, More Youthful Neck

When it comes to looking refreshed, the neck is often an overlooked area—but it plays a big role in your overall appearance. Over time, you might notice vertical cords or lines becoming more visible down the front of your neck. These are called platysmal bands, and while they’re a natural part of aging, they can make the neck look tense or older than you feel.
The good news? With just a few gentle Botox injections, we can soften those bands, smooth your neck’s contour, and help you feel more confident in your skin—without surgery or downtime.

Understanding Platysmal Bands

The platysma is a thin, sheet-like muscle that stretches from your jawline down the front of your neck. As we age, skin loses elasticity, and this muscle can become more visible—especially when you talk, smile, or clench your jaw.

For many of our patients, these bands don’t just affect the neck—they can subtly pull on the lower face, making jowls or sagging more noticeable.

How Botox Can Help

By precisely placing Botox along the platysma, we gently relax the muscle so it can no longer pull as strongly. This allows the vertical bands to fade and creates a smoother, softer neck appearance. Many patients also notice a subtle lifting effect along the jawline, especially when combined with what’s known as a Nefertiti Lift.

Benefits You’ll Love

1. A Natural-Looking, Youthful Neck

Your results will look like you—just refreshed. The bands soften gradually, so there’s no sudden or overdone change.

2. A More Defined Jawline

Relaxing the platysma can lessen downward pull, helping the jawline look cleaner and more refined.

3. Quick Treatment, No Downtime

The procedure takes less than 15 minutes, and you can return to your day immediately—perfect for busy schedules.

4. Results That Build Confidence

You’ll start to see a difference in 1–2 weeks, with results lasting about 3–5 months. Many patients find that regular treatments help maintain a youthful, elegant neckline year-round.
