Neck Bands Treatment

The muscles and tendons in the neck can become more pronounced as you get older. The platysma muscles are the vertical cords in the neck that connect the jaw to the collarbone. Like all muscles, the platysma muscles can thicken over the years. In addition, the skin loses fat and volume, allowing these neck bands/muscles to become more noticeable. At LL Aesthetics, we provide neck bands treatment with Botox® injections at our Miami Beach, FL, clinic.

Botox is a powerful neuromodulator that affects how muscles perform. When a small amount of Botox is injected into the muscles in the neck, the neurotoxin goes to work. Botox and other neuromodulators like Dysport® and Xeomin® block the signals to the muscles from the brain and nerves. This stops muscle contractions, which can help minimize the appearance of platysma muscles or bands. By relaxing the muscles, the neck bands become smoother. Botox can also make the horizontal neck lines less visible.

Botox for Neck Rejuvenation

Botox can do wonders for rejuvenating the appearance of the platysma bands and neck lines. While Botox does not actually tighten or lift the skin, many patients look like they had a neck lift after having Botox injections into the platysma muscle. Once the muscle relaxed, the “turkey neck” appearance dissipates. The vertical bands disappear, and the neck lines are smoothed. The injections can be performed in less than 15 minutes with no downtime needed. In the next week or so, you will begin to see the neck become smoother and more youthful, with results lasting about four months.

The neck is notorious for giving away your age. If you are beginning to notice neck bands and lines on your neck, consider the benefits of Botox for a non-surgical neck lift. We also offer treatments such as microneedling that can help improve the firmness of the skin on the face and neck for a rejuvenated appearance.
