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.?

Answer: Botox for Platysmal Bands I routinely use Botox to treat platysmal neck bands. I usually start with 40 to 60 units and dilute this in twice the normal amount of saline to provide uniform coverage. It is safe and effective and cost much less than a traditional neck lift or platysmaplasty.

Answer: Botox in the Neck Hi lk, Botox can be very effective at relaxing platysmal neck bands. It can also be used to lift the neck (The Nefertiti Lift). It does take higher units to achieve excellent results, so do speak to you injecting physician about costs prior to your treatment. The neck is an area where you should seek out an expert because of the higher doses used, and the possibility of significant complications is placed improperly. Good luck and be well. Dr. P
