I read about a Botox neck lift. What is this and does it work? I thought Botox was for frown lines?

Thank you for your question! It does not produce a true neck lift but but can temporaly take some of the "spring" out of the platysmal bands (ie- paired neck cords). For significant neck skin laxity, a facelift should be considered. For lasting correction of platysmal bands, a medial or lateral platysmaplasty can be performed depending upon certain patient factors. I hope this helps!

Botox can relax the platysma muscles, the visible bands in your neck. This would help smooth out the neck contour. The treatment is off-label.

Botox
injections are effective at softening the neck bands (also known as platysmal
bands which are muscles).  By relaxing the neck bands, they become less prominent thereby rejuvenating the appearance of your neck.
