Have you ever caught your reflection and noticed those vertical lines running down your neck — especially when you talk, laugh, or clench your jaw? Those are called platysmal bands, and lately, so many of our patients have been asking, “Can a neurotoxin help with this?” The answer is: absolutely, and beautifully so.
✨ What Are Platysmal Bands?
Your platysma is a thin, sheet-like muscle that runs from your jawline down toward your collarbone. Over time (and with lots of talking, laughing, and daily expression), this muscle starts to tighten and separate, creating visible bands or cordsthat can make the neck look tight or “stringy.” Combine that with natural skin laxity, and the neck often reveals signs of aging faster than the face.
💉 How Neurotoxin Treatments Help
By strategically injecting small amounts of neurotoxin into the platysmal bands, we can relax the muscle’s downward pull, which allows the jawline to appear smoother and more lifted. Think of it as a nonsurgical neck lift that softens tension and refines your profile — no downtime, no stiffness, just a graceful, natural result.
Neurotoxins can also help improve horizontal neck lines — those little necklace-like creases caused by looking down at phones or laptops all day (we’re all guilty of it!).
📏 How Many Units Does It Take?
Treatment amounts vary by anatomy, but here’s a general guide:
Platysmal bands: around 20–50 units total
Full neck and jawline refinement: typically 50–80 units
At The Skincare Studio, we always customize dosing to your individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. You’ll start to see results within a week, with full results around two weeks in — lasting about 3–4 months.
👩🏽⚕️ Designing the Perfect Neck Profile
When treating the neck, we’re not just softening lines — we’re restoring balance between the lower face and neck. A neurotoxin neck lift can:
Define the jawline
Soften the appearance of vertical bands
Create a smoother, tighter contour from chin to collarbone
For even better results, I often pair neck neurotoxin with RF microneedling or skin-tightening laser treatments, which help improve collagen, texture, and overall skin tone. Together, these create a refined, youthful look that still feels authentically you.
