Dr Hanson offers nefertiti neck lift treatment from his clinic on Harley Street, London to reduce the prominence of platysmal bands in the neck.
The platysma is a broad, thin muscle that stretches from the collarbone up to the jawline on both sides of the neck. As we age or due to genetic factors, the platysma can become more pronounced and cause vertical neck bands, a softened jawline, and the appearance of jowls.
By judiciously treating the platysma with botulinum toxin, one can improve jawline definition and reduce the appearance of jowls.
Botulinum toxin offers a non-surgical approach to refining the jawline and diminishing the appearance of jowls by addressing the platysma muscle’s activity. A well-defined jawline can impart a youthful and contoured look to the face.
What is Botulinum Toxin?
Botulinum toxin is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When introduced in precise amounts into the body, it can temporarily block nerve signals to muscles, leading to a relaxation of the targeted muscle.
How Does Botox Enhance Jawline Definition and Address Jowling?
When the platysma muscle contracts, it can pull down on the muscles and skin of the lower face, leading to a less defined jawline and the appearance of jowls. By introducing botulinum toxin into specific areas of the platysma:
- The downward pull of the platysma is counteracted, helping to lift and tighten the jawline.
- The jowling appearance is reduced as the skin and underlying tissues are no longer being pulled downward as strongly.
How Long Does Botulinum Toxin Last?
The improved jawline definition and reduced jowling usually last between 3-6 months, depending on individual factors.

PLATYSMAL BAND TREATMENT
A detailed consultation with a trained aesthetic practitioner is vital. They will evaluate the individual’s neck and jawline, determining the appropriate dosage and injection sites.
The neck and jaw area are cleaned, and, if necessary, a topical anaesthetic might be applied for comfort.
The practitioner strategically administers botulinum toxin into targeted portions of the platysma muscle.
The procedure is quick, often completed within 15-30 minutes.
POST-TREATMENT
Patients can typically return to their daily activities soon after the procedure.
It’s advised to avoid massaging the treated area, engaging in strenuous activities.
Patients can expect initial results to emerge within a week, with optimal effects evident by the second or third week. The improved jawline definition and reduced jowling usually last between 3-6 months, depending on individual factors.
When executed by a proficient practitioner, botulinum toxin treatments targeting the platysma for jawline enhancement are generally safe. Potential side effects, usually temporary, include mild bruising, redness, or discomfort at the injection sites. Accurate placement of injections is crucial to prevent unintended effects on surrounding structures.
