Will Botox Get Rid of Neck Bands?

Usually when you receive both positive and negative answers it really means "sometimes."  I have have found that while I can sometimes improve the necklace lines with Botox, there are others times when it is of little or no benefit.  Treatments can be additive, and I will also use the Fraxel Repair laser to improve these lines,  Fillers may also help as well.

Thank you for your question. Botox can be a very safe and effective way
in helping to soften the appearance of neck bands by relaxing the
muscles. I would recommend visiting with a board certified plastic
surgeon or dermatologist in your area to address your concern as it is
an advanced area to treat. And in addition, there may be alternatives
that can be used as a standalone or in conjunction with Botox to provide
an even more effective treatment.

Botox injections are effective at softening the neck bands (also known as platysmal bands). The treatment can also be combined with a “Nefertiti Treatment”, which will improve the definition of your jaw line and create a beautiful neck lift at the same time.  

The Botox® neck lift refers to the use of an off-label FDA usage of a muscle Toxin like Botox to relax Platysmal bands (midline muscular bands (Platysmal bands). It is not a true neck lift. In the right hands it is effective in temporarily relaxing these muscle bands which causes the skin to be less stretched in appearance. The treatment is temporary and needs to be repeated every 3-4 months for most.Risks include if injected too deeply or using too much - swallowing difficulties, or head movement from weak neck muscles.Lasers like the BBL by Sciton do a reasonable job at tightening and smoothing the skin when done as a series.Ultherapy also helps some, thermage less so in my experience

Botox can certainly work well in targetted areas of neck bands and neck cords formed by overactive platysma muscles. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Vertical neck bands may respond partially with Botox but I have not been successful to minimize horizontal neck bands with Botox although I have heard that some physicians claimed in the past that this can help.  Some, not all, patients who are undering Ultherapy have noticed improvement in the horizontal neck bands.  There have been reports of Thermage helping and even Fraxel laser, but I would be doubtful that the horizontal bands would improve much.
