Neck Bands
Neck bands, also known as platysmal bands, are vertical lines or cords that can become more noticeable at the front of the neck as we age. They develop as the platysma muscle becomes more prominent, particularly during facial expressions or neck movements. Neck bands are different from horizontal neck lines and loose neck skin, which may require different treatment approaches.
In selected patients, administration of BTX-A to these bands can give the visual effect of a mini-lift avoiding the need for surgery. This is combined with treatment to the underside of the jaw, thus improving the definition of the jawline. This procedure is often referred to as the “Nefertiti Lift”. Egyptian artefacts show Queen Nefertiti as having a perfect jawline and the term was thus coined in her name.
It may be beneficial to combine this with some volumising filler along the jawline, to help restore lost volume and thus support to the skin.
At Perfect Skin Solutions in Portsmouth, our doctor-led team assesses your individual concerns and discusses suitable options based on your neck anatomy, skin condition and treatment goals.
