What are platysmal bands?
The platysmal bands are the two muscles that are located on both sides of your neck. Since the neck has a much thinner layer of skin than the face and the skin around your neck naturally loses fat deposits and collagen as you get older, these muscles usually become increasingly visible over time. Usually, they’re well-hidden and are only visible when you tightly grimace or clench your teeth while working out or in moments of extreme stress.
The three known culprits of neck age lines are:
Genetics
Weight loss
Clenching of teeth or stress and anxiety.
Treatment
When it comes to neck-bands, anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most popular treatments. We also offer hyaluronic acid-based injections.Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that’s produced by the body. As we get older, however, the production of hyaluronic acid is diminished. Its main function is to moisturize the skin and maintain elasticity by supplementing collagen production. That’s why many beauty products, moisturizers, and anti-wrinkle facial creams are fortified with hyaluronic acid.
Neck injections are an affordable and convenient option for patients who don’t like the idea of undergoing a potentially invasive surgical procedure.
Procedure time is around 30 minutes and requires a local anaesthetic.
Results usually last upto 6 months.
A safe and effective treatment with little or no downtime.
Not suitable if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
