Service Description

Platysmal bands are vertical bands or cords that become visible on the neck as a result of the ageing process and changes in the underlying musculature. These bands are formed by the platysma muscle, which extends from the jawline to the collarbone. Over time, factors such as sun exposure, genetics, and the natural ageing of the skin and muscles can contribute to the development of these bands. Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to address platysmal bands as a non-surgical and minimally invasive option. Here is how anti-wrinkle injections enhance beauty in the context of platysmal bands: Muscle Relaxation: Anti-wrinkle injections, or Botulinum Toxin, temporarily paralyse or relax muscles. When injected into the platysma muscle, the treatment reduces muscle activity, preventing the bands from becoming prominent during certain expressions or movements. Smoothing Neck Bands: Platysmal bands are often more noticeable when the platysma muscle contracts. By relaxing the muscles with anti-wrinkle injections, the appearance of the bands is softened, creating a smoother and more youthful-looking neck. Non-Surgical Neck Rejuvenation: Anti-wrinkle injections offer a non-surgical alternative to more invasive procedures, such as neck lift surgery. The injection process is generally quick, with minimal downtime compared to surgery. Gradual Onset and Temporary Results: The effects of anti-wrinkle injections for platysmal bands usually become noticeable within a few days to a week after the procedure. While the results are not permanent, they can last several months, and follow-up treatments can help maintain the desired appearance. Preventing Neck Wrinkles: Platysmal bands are often associated with the development of horizontal neck wrinkles. By addressing muscle activity with anti-wrinkle injections, the formation of these wrinkles can be minimised. Natural-Looking Results: Anti-wrinkle injections can provide natural-looking results when administered by a skilled and experienced healthcare professional. The goal is to reduce the visibility of platysmal bands while allowing for normal neck movement and expression. "For your initial booking, we will arrange a telephone consultation.
