Overview

Are you noticing vertical necklines, sagging, or a “turkey neck” appearance when you look in the mirror? These signs are often caused by prominent platysma bands—vertical muscles that run along the neck. In this informative guide, you’ll learn how Neck Botox for Platysma Bands works, why it’s such an effective non-surgical solution, what the procedure involves, and what results you can expect. At Collective Aesthetics, we offer personalized Neck Botox treatments to help you regain a smooth, youthful neck contour—without surgery or downtime.

What Are Platysma Bands?

The platysma muscle is a thin, superficial muscle that extends from the upper chest to the lower jaw. As we age, the skin loses elasticity, and the platysma becomes more visible, creating vertical neck bands. Common signs of visible platysma bands include:

Vertical “cord-like” lines on the neck
Skin sagging or loss of jawline definition
A “turkey neck” appearance
More pronounced muscle movement when talking or grimacing

These bands can make you appear older or more tired than you feel, which is where Neck Botox for Platysma Bands comes in.

What Is Neck Botox for Platysma Bands?

Neck Botox refers to the targeted injection of Botulinum Toxin A into the platysma muscle to reduce the appearance of neck bands and restore a more youthful appearance in the neckline. Botox temporarily relaxes the platysma muscle, preventing it from pulling downward and softening the appearance of vertical bands. This treatment is:

Minimally invasive
Non-surgical
Quick, with no downtime
Effective in both women and men

How Neck Botox for Platysma Bands Works

When Botox is strategically injected into specific points of the platysma muscle:

Neck Botox for Platysma Bands works by inhibiting the nerve signals that cause the platysma muscle to contract. When the muscle relaxes, it releases the tension pulling on the skin—resulting in a firmer, more lifted neck appearance.
