Can Botox get rid of my neck bands?

First, we need to understand why our neck bands appear in the first place. The answer is, we usually lose fat as we grow older. It can result in issues such as sunken eyes or deepened cheekbones, as we have seen in previous editions.

However, it is more specific when it comes to our neck bands. The keyword here is platysma! Platysma is the muscle that covers the front of our necks, which, as we grow older, sometimes extends beyond and above the surface of our skin.

Our decrease in muscle tone accentuates and aggravates our neckbands and platysmal bands, leading to muscle spreading and a weakened medial ligament of the neck.

Platysmal bands therefore have the effect of making us look older, with an increased crepiness look. Different individuals are affected at different levels, but the good news is that this can be dealt with non-surgical anti-ageing techniques!

Botox is a great option to soften neck bands and relax the muscle, giving them a softer appearance. Here at The London Facial Care, we have achieved excellent results with this technique as well as dermal fillers.

Dermal fillers and threading are to be used when Botox cannot fix deeper ‘neck rings’. Pockets of fat in the neck area and issues such as deep wrinkling are best addressed with this technique.

Botox can correct lighter symptoms, where the patient has retained skin elasticity and suffer mainly of thick platysma bands! Botox neck bands side effects are almost non-existent!
