Platysmal Band

Platysma bands are characteristic of an aging neck. Resection and plication of the platysma muscle is the basis of treatment. However, unfavorable surgical outcomes and improved understanding of platysma band etiology have shifted treatment towards nonsurgical rejuvenation.  Studies have shown Botulinum toxin like Dysport and Botox are highly effective treatment for isolated platysma bands (see Aesthetic Surgery Journal)
