Botox or a different treatment? (Photo)

HA fillers can be used to help this kind of situation with vertical neck cords. If the cords are made more prominent by gritting the teeth, then microdroplets of Botox can be injected along the cords to diminish this. If present prominently at rest, then a nonsurgical filler necklift can be achieved via the use of an appropriately robust HA filler injected in a semicircular fashion to pull the sides of the neck upwards to flatten the cords followed by the placement of microdroplets of a low viscosity, cohesive malleable HA filler injected in a grid pattern to the central portion for further smoothing. You would be wise to consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist and make sure to ask to see his/her personal before and after photos before agreeing to proceed. Best of luck.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

When injected into the vertical bands of the neck, Botox can relax the dynamic muscles, making them less prominent, and resulting in a smoother, younger looking neck.For under your chin like other types of facial wrinkles, natural collagen losses that occur with age. Collagen itself is a protein that naturally plumps up your skin. Gravity also plays a role in sagging skin around the chin, making marionette lines more noticeable. Neck creams work to prevent collagen breakdown and support collagen production. They often contain retinols, growth factors and antioxidants that are tested specifically for the skin of the neck.

Botox can be used to soften the appearance of platysmal bands. Be sure to see an experienced injector for this area. To keep skin healthy we recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

It appears that you have a single thin platysma band. These respond very well to Botox injections.

Platysmal bands are bands caused by the platysma muscles in the neck. These can appear for many reasons with the aging being number one cause. Injecting bleach is more bands with Botox results in a smoother appearing neck. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery

You can try to reduce that platysmal neck band with botox, but it is also difficult to assess with these photos. I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.Sealtiel Machuca
