What are Platysma Bands?
Platysma bands, more commonly known as neck bands, are vertical lines that run down either side of the neck. They are caused by the two strips of platysma muscle, which run from the jawline down to the collarbone. These bands often become more pronounced when we get older, creating a more aged or sagging appearance in the neck area.
Several factors can cause the formation of platysma bands, including:
Platysma bands can affect not only your appearance but also your self-esteem, making you feel self-conscious about your neck area. In a recent survey, 2 in 5 participants reported being “very” or “extremely bothered” with their neck bands1.
Although platysma bands are perfectly natural, some people prefer them to be less noticeable—and that’s where BOTOX comes in.
