I know Botox results are injector dependent. That being said, is the off-label use of Botox to platysma bands a bad idea, no matter what, or is it usually sucessful when done on "younger" people that have very mild flaccidity? Thanks for your time!

Answer: Botox Works for Platysma Bands Botox works well for hyperactive bands formed by an active platysma muscle but its not going to work for flaccid skin which usually happens from loss of collagen and elasticity. For loose skin, Sculptra injections might be better.

Answer: Botox works well for bands but not the horizontal lines in the neck It works well for platysma bands in younger patients. It doesn't work for the horizontal lines in the neck also related to the platysma but more a function of skin elasticity and volume. It of course doesn't help with fat or lax skin. If the skin is relatively elastic in a younger person the softening of the bands can create a better neck contour and recruit some added skin into the area.

Answer: Off label use of Botox for platysma muscle This tends to work best in patients with hyperactive platysma muscles creating vertical bands regardless of age. Generally Botox is advised for patients under the age of 65. The "good or bad" idea of its use depends on how it is applied.
