Platysma Band Neurotoxin

Tired of string-like neck bands that age your profile and pull at your jawline? A Platysma Band neurotoxin treatment relaxes over-tight platysma muscles so your neck looks smoother, sleeker, and years younger—in one quick session.

Platysma Band Neurotoxin

What Is Platysma Band Neurotoxin?

Tiny neurotoxin injections soften the paired platysma muscles that create vertical “turkey-neck” cords. As the fibers relax, the bands flatten, your jawline sharpens, and neck skin lies more smoothly.

Early change shows in 3–10 days, peaks at two weeks, and lasts 3–6 months with easy touch-ups.

Ideal for: adults who see visible platysma bands at rest or with expression and want a non-surgical, reversible fix.

How Platysma Band Neurotoxin Works

  1. Prep & anesthesia 

    Photos, muscle mapping, optional numbing cream—no general anesthesia.

  2. Targeted injections

    Your board-certified Leva surgeon places 4–8 tiny injections along each prominent band.

  3. Treatment time

    ≈10 minutes chair time; you may drive home right away.

  4. After-care 

    Stay upright four hours; avoid vigorous workouts or massage for 24 hours.

  5. Follow-up milestones

    Photo check at two weeks; doctor-guided follow-up every 4–6 months to fine-tune dosing.

FAQs - Platysma Band Neurotoxin

How soon will I see results?
Onset varies by neurotoxin—some start in 3–4 days, others in 7–10 days; full smoothing appears by week 2.
How long do the results last?
Relaxation typically holds 3–6 months, then gradually fades as the muscle rebuilds.
Will it affect my ability to swallow or speak?
Dosage is conservative and placed superficially, so normal swallowing and speech remain unchanged.
Is the procedure painful?
Just brief pinches; we offer numbing cream or a cold tip for extra comfort.
What are the side effects?
Mild redness or bruising can occur. Rarely, temporary neck weakness or asymmetry appears but resolves as the medication wears off.
How much does a platysma neurotoxin treatment cost?
Your exact dose and price are reviewed in writing—transparent pricing and flexible financing every time. See our financing options.
