Let’s talk about an exciting update in the world of aesthetics — Botox is now FDA-approved for the platysma bands!

Have you noticed those vertical cords in your neck becoming more prominent over time?

It's a common experience. In fact, many of our clients around the Seattle-Tacoma metro area tell us the same story: "One day, I looked in the mirror and suddenly noticed these neck lines that weren't there before."

They’re called platysma bands, and they can contribute to an aged or “tight” appearance in the lower face and neck. These neck lines can seem to appear overnight, becoming more noticeable when we clench our jaw, make certain facial expressions, or simply as we age.

Unlike wrinkles that can sometimes be hidden with makeup, these structural bands are particularly challenging to conceal.

The good news? You don't have to live with them.

What Are Platysma Bands, and How Does Our Botox Treatment Help?

Platysma bands are the thin vertical cords of muscle extending from your jawline to your collarbones. Over time, repeated movement, aging, and loss of skin elasticity can make these bands more noticeable, creating a "turkey neck" appearance or prominent vertical lines in the neck. This can lead to an uneven neck appearance or sagging, impacting the definition of your jawline and overall lower-face look.

Here’s where Botox for platysma bands works its magic. At Elevate Medical Center, located conveniently in the Puget Sound region of Washington State, between Seattle and Tacoma, we perform this treatment by injecting anti-wrinkle Botox directly into the platysma, relaxing the tension in the muscle that creates visible cords, and softening the bands to create a smoother, more lifted appearance in the neck.

The result? A smoother and more refined neck, lifted and contoured jawline definition, and a sleeker, more youthful profile.

With FDA approval, our Botox face lift is not only safe but also highly effective in targeting this specific concern.
