With the passage of time, unfavourable changes become visible not only on the face. One of the areas that often becomes problematic is the neck, which gradually loses subcutaneous tissue over the years and becomes increasingly lax. In addition, increased tension of the platysma muscle makes its vertical bands more and more visible, creating an unaesthetic appearance. Most commonly, two prominent muscle bands can be seen running from the jawline down to the collarbone.
Thanks to neurotoxin treatment, we can restore a more youthful appearance to the neck and reduce the visible muscle bands, which become especially pronounced during swallowing and when the neck is tensed. During the procedure, we inject the neurotoxin directly into several points along each visible platysma band. As a result, approximately 2 weeks after the treatment, the muscle relaxes, becomes less visible, and the neck appears smoother and younger again.
The procedure may be complemented with the so-called "Nefertiti Lift", during which the neurotoxin is injected at the point where the platysma attaches to the jawline. This reduces muscle tension, so the muscle no longer pulls the facial contour downward, which contributes to the unwanted jowl effect. As a result, the appearance of the neck, jawline and lower cheeks becomes more harmonious. This treatment can also be combined with other jawline therapies, such as the currently popular "Texas lift".
