Most people think of Botox or Dysport for smoothing forehead lines or softening crow’s feet. But these treatments also work incredibly well for the neck — especially when it comes to treating platysmal bands.
What Are Platysmal Bands?
Platysmal bands are the vertical lines that run down the neck. They’re caused by the platysma muscle, a thin sheet of muscle under the skin. As we get older, this muscle can become more active and start to stand out, making the neck look tighter and more lined. Genetics, sun exposure, and natural movement all make these bands more noticeable over time.
How Neuromodulators Help
Botox and Dysport can relax the platysma muscle with a few small, targeted injections. When the muscle is softened, the bands become much less visible, creating a smoother, younger-looking neck. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and results usually last between three to six months.
Why More People Are Getting It Done
Neck rejuvenation isn’t just about surgery anymore. More patients are looking for non-surgical options that still deliver real results. Smoothing platysmal bands with neuromodulators is simple, effective, and makes a huge difference in the overall appearance of the neck—and by extension, the whole face.
Who’s a Good Candidate?
If your neck bands are visible even when your face and neck are at rest, you’re probably a good candidate. This treatment can also be combined with jawline contouring or skin tightening for an even more sculpted look.
