Smartlifting, Botox, and Sculptra for platysmal bands

As a board certified facial plastic surgeon, we perform over 100 face and neck lifts annually. I am currently writing a book on neck rejuvenation for publication in 2008, and we have introduced many new techniques for platysmal banding. The most recent technique is Smartlifting, which heats up both the skin and bands and can be combined with Botox to reduce the muscle tightening forming the bands. 

Volume loss plays a part, and adding Sculptra to the Smartlift can enhance volume and reduce the banding of the platysma. You need a minimal treatment done under minimal anesthesia and not a full face and neck lift.
