Is it safe to have Botox in the neck? I had this area done years ago and no complications, however I am now worried about side effects such as difficulty swallowing or moving the neck. I have some platysma bands and generally wrinkled neck.

Answer: Safety of Botox Injections in the Neck I appreciate your concern, but I assure you that as long as you are working with an experienced, board-certified dermatologist, Botox injections are very safe in the neck area. This procedure targets the platysmal muscles in the neck that cause banding. Precision in needle placement and dosing amount is key in this area. In most cases, the results of Botox treatments in this area last about three to four months.
