Vertical platysma neck bands are the rope-like cords that appear on the front of the neck. They are caused by the platysma muscle, a thin, superficial muscle that extends from the collarbone up to the jawline. As we age, this muscle can become more defined and contract in a way that creates these visible vertical bands. Decreasing skin elasticity may also contribute to their appearance.
The primary cause of vertical platysma neck bands is increase tension in the platysma muscle. Over time, loss of skin tone causes sagging, which can result in hyperactivity of the platysma muscle. Repeated neck movements and facial expressions can also contribute to their development and prominence over time.
There are various non-surgical methods to reduce platysma bands.
They work by either:
- Targeting the platysma muscle (by either relaxing it, or transecting it with a small suture).
- Strengthening the skin
There are different technique for each approach. To determine the best option for your platysma bands, a consultation is required.
