How do I treat Platysmal Bands when I'm too young for a neck lift and don't want to keep shelling out money for Botox? (Photo)

February 21, 2015
Asked By:sardun in Michigan, MI

I'm only 31 and have relatively really nice facial skin but my Platysmal Bands make my neck look 71 not 31. I think they are pretty extreme for my age. What can I do to correct this when I think I'm too young for a necklift and $250 every 3 months for Botox just seems silly. Is there anything else that can be done? It really bothers me and I hate to take pictures because of it. What would be causing this for me to have these at this age? Please help!
