NECK BOTOX: A GUIDE TO NON-SURGICAL NECK REJUVENATION

Did you know Botox could be injected in the neck?

Injecting Botox into the muscles of the neck relaxes the downward pull that these muscles have on the jaw and neck. This results in a smoother and tighter neck and a well-defined jawline. Look at these amazing Before and After Neck Botox results on Dr. Barrueta's patient!

Neck wrinkles and neck bands can be frustrating signs of aging. Fortunately, there are several effective treatments available to help improve the appearance of the neck area. One popular option is Neck Botox.

What is Neck Botox?

Neck Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the neck muscles. This temporarily relaxes the muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines, neck bands and wrinkles.

Where in the Neck is Botox used?

• Platysmal Neck Bands
• Jawline
• Superficial Skin

Platysmal Bands   are the vertical lines that can appear on the neck as we age. They are caused by the tightening of the platysma muscle, which runs from the jawbone to the collarbone.

Platysmal Neck Bands Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that can help to reduce the appearance of these lines. It involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the platysma muscle, which temporarily relaxes the muscle and thereby lifts the neck upward, by reducing the platysmal bands' downward pull.

Jawline Botox,  also called the Nefertiti Lift, uses Botox to create a more youthful and defined neckline. Botox is injected along the jawline where the platysmal muscle lies. Relaxing the platysmal muscle in this area creates an upward lift that helps make the jawline more defined. The Nefertiti Lift is named after the Egyptian queen Nefertiti, who was renowned for her elongated neck and graceful profile.

How does a Nefertiti Lift Work?

• Targets the Platysma Muscle: The procedure involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the platysma muscle, where it runs from the jawbone to the collarbone.
• Relaxing the Muscle: The Botox relaxes the platysma muscle, reducing its ability to contract, thereby creating an upward lift.
• Creating a More Defined Neckline: By relaxing the platysma muscle, the Nefertiti Lift can create a more defined and youthful neckline.

Superficial Skin Neck Botox: Injecting Botox into the superficial skin of the neck helps reduce the fine lines and crepiness of the neck. It is a novel treatment that is effective to treat very fine lines and mild crepiness of the neck.
