This may be very effecitve for you. It should be low risk, and not that expensive. The down side is that it is temporary. Also, it will not tighten skin, and it will not address any fat pads that may be present.

A: Be careful with Botox for neck bands

Greetings,
As the other physicians have pointed out, Botox cosmetic does work for neck bands, but this is an off label use. What was not mentioned is that injection in the neck can lead to difficulty swallowing necessitating a feeding tube if injected improperly or there is migration of the injection. If you are considering the treatment, be sure to seek out a physician who not only has experience with Botox injections, but also with injection in the neck area.
