As we age, vertical lines and bands can develop along the neck, creating a tense or aged appearance. These are known as platysmal bands, and they’re one of the most noticeable signs of aging in the lower face and neck. At Renew MedSpa, we offer Botox®—FDA-approved for the treatment of platysmal bands—as a safe, effective, and non-surgical solution to restore a smooth, youthful neckline.
What Are Platysmal Bands?
Platysmal bands are caused by the platysma, a thin sheet-like muscle that runs vertically along the front of the neck. Over time, muscle activity, loss of skin elasticity, and age-related thinning of tissues can cause this muscle to stand out more prominently. The result? Tight, vertical cords in the neck that can make you look older or more tense than you feel.
How Botox Works on Neck Bands
Botox works by temporarily relaxing the platysma muscle, which reduces its movement and softens the appearance of vertical neck bands. Our skilled injectors precisely administer a series of tiny Botox injections into the muscle, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out naturally. The treatment is quick, comfortable, and requires no downtime.
