Botox for relaxing neck bands

Bryan K. Chen, MD answers: Botox for relaxing neck bands?

I've heard that Botox is being used to relax neck bands. Can you please share your opinions on this, the safety, effectiveness, expected cost, alternate treatments, etc.?

As you may have gathered from the other posts, Botox is a good treatment for relaxing vertical neck bands.  50 units is usually adequate.  The total dose should not exceed 100 units and should be superficial to avoid complications including neck weakness and difficulty swallowing.
