Platysmal Neck Bands
Platysmal Neck Bands
The platysmal bands of the cervical area are located in the midline of the neck to the chin area. Over time, genetics, skin care, skin tension, and loss of muscle tone in this area make platysmal bands more visible over the years. However, these can be easily treated with Botox injections with the aim of tightening the skin and being less visible, achieving a more youthful appearance.
Procedure
During the treatment the patient will lay down on the medical chair as comfortable as possible. Anaesthesia is not normally used for toxin injection as it is not a significantly painful procedure. However, depending on the tolerance of the patient, an anaesthetic cream is applied before the procedure. After cleaning the area of the that will be treated, the points where the toxin will be injected are marked with a fine and delicate needle for the greatest possible comfort of the patient.
Aftercare and Results
The results can be seen after the third - fourth day, where more tension will be noticed at the beginning in the infiltrated areas and therefore it will be more difficult to form the wrinkle when contracting the muscles. They may appear "purple" and have some swelling, however this rarely occurs. After 15 days the toxin review will be carried out to correct the details and achieve the best possible result. The duration of the treatment varies between 4 - 6 months depending on the metabolism of each patient.
