What Are Platysma Bands?
The platysma is a thin sheet of muscle that runs from the jaw down across the neck to the chest. As we age, the borders of this muscle can become more prominent, appearing as vertical rope-like bands or cords down the front and sides of the neck.
These bands can make the neck look older, more tense, or less defined — even when the face looks refreshed. Platysma bands are influenced by genetics, ageing, and how much you use your neck muscles expressively.
Botulinum toxin injected into the platysma bands relaxes the muscle, softening the bands and creating a smoother, more lifted neck appearance — sometimes called the "Nefertiti lift" when combined with jawline treatment.
Who Is It For?
Platysma botox is suitable for people who:
- Notice vertical bands or cords in their neck, particularly when tensing
- Feel their neck looks older than their face
- Want a non-surgical option for neck rejuvenation
- Are considering a more youthful neck profile without surgery
It pairs very well with jaw and lower-face anti-wrinkle treatments.
What to Expect
Treatment
Your doctor will identify the prominent platysma bands and place injections along their length. The treatment takes approximately 20–30 minutes.
Results
Visible softening of neck bands begins within 1–2 weeks, with full effect at 2 weeks. The neck appears smoother and less tense.
Duration
Results last 3–4 months. The platysma is an active muscle — duration may be shorter than classic facial areas.
Aftercare
- Avoid straining, heavy lifting, or extreme neck movements for 24–48 hours
- Standard anti-wrinkle aftercare applies
Frequently Asked Questions
