Is "SkinTyte" a good treatment for vertical platysma neck bands? Neck Botox - how long before I notice a difference? (Photos)

May 8, 2018
Asked By:smokysadie in La Canada Flintridge, CA

I have prominent vertical neck bands, which I believe are also called platysma bands. My dermatologist recommended botox and "SkinTyte". I had botox injections a week ago but haven't noticed any improvement. Should I have noticed a difference by now or does it take longer for the botox to have an effect? And, will "SkinTyte" be helpful? I don't want to spend the $$ if there's no improvement. Thank you. These photos were taken one week after the botox injections. Sorry, but I don't have a "before" photo.
