Neck bands
Vertical cords or bands that stand out on the front of the neck, caused by the platysma muscle becoming more visible with age. They can make the neck look older than the face.
What It Is
Neck bands are vertical cords or lines that appear on the front and sides of the neck. They form when the platysma muscle, a thin sheet of muscle in the neck, becomes more visible and prominent with time. As skin loses elasticity and the muscle separates or loosens, these bands become more noticeable. Neck bands can create the appearance of an older neck relative to the face, which is why many people seek to address them.
Treatment Options
Botox is a prescription injectable medication derived from purified Clostridium botulinum bacteria that works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to muscles, causing them to relax. It is used to smooth and reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet around the eyes. (1 provider)
