What Are Platysmal Bands?

Platysmal bands are vertical muscle bands that can become more visible in the neck as we age. They are caused by repeated muscle movement and natural loss of skin elasticity. Over time, these bands can make the neck appear tighter, aged or strained.

Signs You May Benefit from Treatment

You may be suitable for platysmal band treatment if you notice:

Prominent vertical bands in the neck, especially when speaking or straining
A tightening or pulling appearance of the neck
Loss of smoothness or definition in the lower face and jawline
An aged or tired-looking neck

Treating platysmal bands can significantly improve the overall appearance of the neck and lower face.

How Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work

Anti-wrinkle injections work by gently relaxing the platysma muscle, reducing the strength of muscle contractions that cause the bands to stand out. This allows the neck to appear smoother and more relaxed while maintaining natural movement and expression.

Benefits of Platysmal Band Treatment

Improves the overall harmony of the lower face and jawline
Non-surgical with minimal downtime

What are platysmal bands?

Platysmal bands are vertical muscles in the neck that can become more prominent with age, repeated movement, and loss of skin elasticity. They often appear when talking, smiling, or straining and can give the neck an aged or tense appearance.

How do anti-wrinkle injections treat platysmal bands?

Anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing the platysma muscle, reducing the strength of muscle contractions that cause the bands to stand out. This creates a smoother, more relaxed appearance in the neck while maintaining natural movement.

Is platysmal band treatment suitable for everyone?

Most adults with visible neck bands are suitable candidates. A consultation with Nurse Kelly Cox is essential to assess muscle activity, skin quality, and ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.

Is the treatment painful?

Discomfort is minimal. The injections are quick and use fine needles. Most patients describe the sensation as a small pinprick and do not require numbing.

When will I see results?

Results typically begin to appear within 7–14 days as the muscle gradually relaxes and the neck appears smoother.

So glad I found Kelly, in my mid 50's was looking good but felt I needed a little boost. Kelly worked her magic and I just look a little bit fresher with the smallest amounts of filler and Botox. Wish I had done this years ago. Thank you
