Overview
The neck is unfortunately often neglected during aesthetic treatments despite showing various signs of aging. One of the most revealing age-related changes of the neck are platysmal bands. These muscular string-like appearances need to be carefully evaluated whether they are truly amenable to neuromodulator treatments. This video discusses patient assessment and demonstrates the most frequently performed injection technique when platysmal bands are treated with toxins.
