Platysma Botox
Create a requestPlatysma Botox is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to target the platysma muscle in the neck. This treatment aims to reduce the appearance of neck bands or 'turkey neck,' creating a smoother, more youthful neckline. It involves injections of Botox (Botulinum toxin) directly into the platysma muscle to relax its contractions.
General
The procedure begins with a consultation to identify the specific areas of the neck that would benefit from treatment. Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, thereby relaxing them. When applied to the platysma muscle, it smooths out the neck's appearance by reducing the visibility of muscle bands. Unlike surgical options, Platysma Botox is non-invasive and requires no downtime, making it an attractive option for those looking to achieve aesthetic improvements without significant interruption to their daily life. During the procedure, a fine needle is used to inject small amounts of Botox into targeted areas of the platysma muscle. The entire process generally takes less than an hour, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately afterward. Results gradually become apparent in the days following the injection, with optimal effects typically seen within one to two weeks. These effects can last from three to six months, after which the procedure can be repeated to maintain results.
