Is it safe to use Botox on the neck area? Platysmal bands

Hello, and thank you for your question. Yes, it is safe to use Botox on the neck area. In fact, Botox can effectively improve the contour of your neck by relaxing the muscle bands on the sides of the neck. Also referred to as platysmal bands, these cords stretch from your collarbone to your jawline. When you age, they tend to become enlarged and more prominent. Botox addresses these issues by relaxing the bands which makes them less visible and reduces the severity of any related lines and wrinkles.

When injected properly by an experienced injector, Botox should not impact how you swallow. This is why I highly recommend only seeking treatments from a reputable experienced injector. Such experts will know how much product to use and where to precisely inject it to safely achieve the most natural-looking results. During your consultation, your provider can assess your skin and profile, determine how best to perform your Botox treatment, and ensure the best possible outcome.

It is safe to inject botox in the platysmal bands in the neck. This relaxes the pulling on the neck and helps the muscle to lay down again. There is a risk that if injected into the wrong muscle group it could make the neck flexers weak and the muscles that control swallowing weak. It takes many injections and the amount varies as to how many neck bands that you are treating. Good luck!

I hope that helps answer your question. Always seek an experienced and qualified medical professional for these treatments. Very best wishes
