The neck is one of the most delicate and expressive areas of the body. While the face often receives the most attention in rejuvenation, the neck can take on a tense or uneven look from vertical cords known as platysmal bands. At Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery, we are proud to offer BOTOX®, the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment for platysmal bands. This innovative approach allows our patients to achieve a smoother neckline and restored jawline contour without surgery.
What Are Platysmal Bands?
The platysma is a thin sheet of muscle that extends from the jawline to the collarbone. With time and repeated movement, this muscle can become more prominent, forming visible, vertical cords. Platysmal bands are not harmful, but they can create a look of tension and strain that contrasts with the softness of the face.
BOTOX for the Neck and Platysmal Bands
BOTOX works by gently relaxing the platysma muscle, reducing the pull that creates these vertical lines. The effect is subtle yet transformative. Instead of dramatic changes, patients see a smoother, softer neckline that complements their natural beauty.
Many choose this treatment because it offers:
- A non-surgical solution with no downtime
- Results that develop gradually over several days
- A refined, natural improvement rather than an exaggerated effect
Who Is the Ideal Candidate for BOTOX® for Platysmal Bands?
The perfect patient for this treatment is someone who notices visible vertical cords or tightness in the neck but does not want surgery. Patients with good skin elasticity often achieve the most striking results.
What to Expect from Platysmal Band Treatment
Your appointment is designed to be comfortable and efficient. Treatment usually takes less than 30 minutes and involves only minimal discomfort, described as a quick pinch. There is no required downtime, allowing you to return to your daily routine immediately. Over the following days, the neckline gradually softens, creating a smoother contour that feels youthful and refreshed.
