What would be the best non surgical procedure dealing with platysma band and neck lines 1.5 months post Ultherapy.

Question

I have done Ultherapy 1.5 months ago. I am now concern with platysma band and neck lines. I have seen videos on using Botox to deal with the platysma band. Will Botox affect my Ultherapy treatment as it is only 1.5 months since my treatment? Will my neck lines improve along with the Botox addressing the platysma band? How long will I get away with the platysma band with Botox?

Dear 30chuchu (Singapore, SG),Thank you for your question. Ultherapy works synergistically with both fillers and botox injections. Botoluninum toxin injections (Botox or Dysport or Xeomin) are neuromodulators that can cause weakening of the muscle contraction hence softening the neck banks. This can help to improve the platysma bands and neck lines. Botox injections to the platysma bands usually last 4-6 months and repeated injections are needed to maintain the same results. Occasionally, you may require fillers or fat grafts to rejuvenate the neck and fill up the neck lines. I hope this answers your question. Have a great week ahead and all the best!Dr. Terence Goh

A combination approach would give the most improvement for this area with ultherapy along with Botox, thermage and thread lifts. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi, neck lines and platysma bands can be treated with a combination of RF microneedling, botox and fillers. This would relax the overactive muscles, fill in the wrinkles in the skin and increase the collagen and firmness of the skin. 3-6 months is required to see a significant result

Neuromodulators such as Botox (or Dysport and Xeomin) can help soften both platysmal bands and neck lines.  Results typically last 3-4 months.  This treatment will further augment the results of Ultherapy.  Consult with an experienced physician.
