Botox Cosmetic FDA-approved for Vertical Neck Bands

BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) has received FDA approval for moderate to severe vertical bands connecting the jaw and neck (platysma bands), and Drs. Hamori and DiEdwardo can now address patients who are bothered by this issue.

Botox platysma neck bands

The platysma muscle is a thin muscle that covers the neck and extends over the lower face, that when contracted can cause the appearance of vertical bands on the neck. The contracted bands can also create a less defined jawline. 

Now we can treat patients with FDA-approved doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic that work beneath the surface to temporarily reduce the underlying muscle activity and improve the appearance of the bands connecting the neck and jaw.

Botox Cosmetic is now approved for use in four aesthetic indications: Temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet lines, and now platysma bands.

If you are bothered by neck bands, request a full face consultation with Dr. Hamori or Dr. DiEdwardo, both designated ExpertInjectors.
