Botox for neck bands? 55 y/o female that read in Christy Brinkley's book you can get botox for neck bands to relax them. (photo)

Thank you for your question. From your photos, it appears you are a great candidate for Botox to the neck bands. It typically takes 10 units of Botox to treat each band and it can take 2 weeks to see your final results. Please remember Botox is temporary and typically lasts 3-4 months. I recommend having a consultation with an expert injector to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

 The neckbands can be relaxed with Botox which is the good news. The bad news is it takes a lot of Botox to make this happen which can be very cost prohibitive, and it will not last for long. The reason for this is that the platysma muscle is a large and dynamic muscle. A surgical platysma plasty with a neck lift procedure would be a much better option in the long-term.
