What are my options for making platysma bands less noticeable?
The only effective way to address platysmal bands for a comprehensive and durable result is with surgery. Botox is a Class C treatment for this problem which is not durable, expensive over time, and far less efficacious. Ultherapy is completely useless and ineffective for platysmal bands. I have included a link below to one of my postop patients for your review.
You have 2 options:1. Botox to weaken this muscle and make the band less noticeable. You will have to repeat this every 3-4 months.2 Surgery - this entails going through an incision under the neck to pull the bands back together and sometimes also cut the band. May also need to tighten the neck behind the ear.
