The results of neck Botox can be seen in as little as a few days after the treatment and continue to improve over the following weeks. The effects typically last for about 3-6 months, after which the treatment needs to be repeated to maintain the desired results.
Before the treatment, the skin on the neck may appear saggy with vertical lines and wrinkles, also known as platysmal bands. These bands can be caused by the platysma muscle, which runs from the chest to the jawline. As we age, the muscle can become more prominent, causing the skin to appear saggy and the vertical lines to become more noticeable.
After the treatment, the skin on the neck appears smoother and tighter. The vertical lines and wrinkles become less noticeable, giving the neck a more youthful and rejuvenated look. The horizontal lines on the neck also become less noticeable. Additionally, when the platysma muscle is relaxed, the lower face appears lifted as the muscle is not pulling the face down anymore.
It’s important to note that while neck Botox can help to improve the appearance of the neck, it is not a permanent solution. The effects will gradually wear off and the treatment will need to be repeated to maintain the desired results. It’s also important to note that Botox is not recommended for those with a history of neuromuscular disorders.
