Botox for Neck Bands

Smooth out banding and soften the impression of the neck.

The platysma is a sheet of muscle from the jaw line to the collarbone. These muscle bands can start to become more noticeable as we age. These vertical bands are often accompanied by vertical neck lines that draw negative attention to the area.

Lucy Banks offers Botox for neck bands to give women a non-surgical and natural-looking way to smooth the neck creating a softened and more refined impression.

Neck bands happen when the platysma muscle, a thin sheet of muscle just below the surface of the skin in our necks, becomes more active and stronger over time. Vertical neck bands caused by the platysma muscle become more noticeable as we speak or express ourselves. These neck bands are often accompanied by horizontal neck lines that form due to skin laxity ageing.

What Are Neck Bands?

Neck bands are a result of overactivity of the platysma muscle coupled with a loss of elasticity in the ski. Genetics and lifestyle factors, such as poor posture or sun exposure, can increase the likelihood of developing these bands. Neck bands occur as a natural part of ageing, but they can contribute to making us look and feel older..

About Botox

Botox is a purified protein derived from Botulinum Toxin and has been widely used in both medical and aesthetic treatments for decades. Botox works by temporarily relaxing muscles that it is injected into, reducing their activity and helping to smooth out the skin in the surrounding area.

Aesthetically, Botox is most commonly used to treat dynamic wrinkles -- those lines on our faces that form due to repetitive facial movements like frowning or raising our eyebrows. Botox can also be used preventatively to help stop the formation of new fine lines and wrinkles.

Lucy also uses Botox as an effective treatment for platysmal neck bands, injecting the surrounding muscle to smooth out the contours of the neck without the need for surgery. These treatments are quick, effective, and produce noticeable but natural-looking results.

How Botox for Neck Bands Works

When Botox is injected into neck platysmal bands, it gets to work by relaxing the overactive muscles in the neck. The result is significantly reduced vertical neck bands and horizontal neck bands and, over the course of the next two weeks or so, a smoother and more youthful-looking neck.

Lucy carefully considers the musculature of each of her clients and how their faces and necks move and work together when expressing or speaking. This helps her to customise her neck bands Botox treatments to meet the needs and goals of each individual client while providing natural-looking results.

Why Choose Botox as a Neck Bands Treatment?

There are many reasons why women choose Botox as a treatment for neck platysmal bands. Lucy often recommends this treatment to women who are looking for a minimally invasive, non-surgical solution to neck bands and horizontal necklines. The procedure is quick and relatively pain-free and can be completed in as little as 30 minutes.

The results of Botox for vertical neck bands can be customised to suit you – you can choose a more dramatic transformation or more subtle, natural-looking results. The results last between 3 and 6 months, so you can enjoy a smoother, younger-looking neck that lasts.

Botox Neck Band Side Effects

Botox is generally extremely safe when carried out by an experienced practitioner like Lucy. As with any cosmetic procedure, however, there can be some minor side effects, such as:

1.) Redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site

2.) Minor muscle weakness in the treatment area

3.) In very rare cases, temporary difficulty swallowing or speaking

Choosing a trained and experienced practitioner like Lucy Banks helps to minimise the likelihood of experiencing negative side effects. If you have any questions or concerns, Lucy will be happy to discuss them with you during your consultation.

The Botox for Neck Bands Process

Consultation

First, you will come along to her Manchester Square clinic to meet Lucy and discuss your concerns. Lucy will assess your neck anatomy and determine the best approach for your neck band treatment.

Muscle Engagement

During the consultation, Lucy will ask you to engage your neck muscles by making a series of facial expressions. This helps her to see the neck bands clearly and to identify the areas where the Botox will be injected.

Botox Injections

On the day of the treatment, Lucy will use ultra-fine needles to administer a series of micro-injections into the platysma muscle. Usually, 4 to 6 injection points will be required per band for the best results.

Aftercare and Results

Following your treatment, Lucy will provide you with some aftercare instructions to ensure that you get the results you are hoping for. You will begin to see results gradually in the days following the treatment, with full results being visible around the 14-day mark.

Your results will last around 3 to 6 months, and follow-up and maintenance appointments are recommended so you can continue to enjoy your youthfully smooth neck.
