Introduction
Neckbands, those visible vertical bands or cords that appear on the front of the neck, can be a frustrating sign of aging.
While surgery is an option, many of our Atlanta area patients seek a less invasive way to smooth their neck’s appearance. BOTOX for neck bands has emerged as a popular, non-surgical treatment that relaxes these muscles, softens the bands, and creates a more youthful, sleek neck contour.
Atlanta Oculofacial Plastic Surgery is located in Atlanta, Georgia, within Sandy Springs, and just a short distance from Buckhead, Chastain Park, Brookhaven, West Paces Ferry, Johns Creek, and Alpharetta.
BOTOX is a neurotoxin that, when injected, will temporarily block nerve signals to muscles, causing them to relax. When used on the platysma muscle, it can soften the appearance of those unwanted and aging vertical neck bands.
Ideal candidates for BOTOX treatment of neck bands include:
During your consultation at Atlanta Oculofacial Plastic Surgery, one of our providers will evaluate your neck anatomy and discuss whether BOTOX is the best approach for your concerns.
BOTOX for neckbands offers several key benefits to our Georgia patients, especially those looking to avoid surgery:
The first step is scheduling an in-person or virtual consultation at Atlanta Oculofacial Plastic Surgery. During your appointment, one of our providers will review your concerns, examine the neck area, and determine if BOTOX is the appropriate option for softening the appearance of vertical neck bands. Your medical history, goals, and expectations will also be discussed during this time to help create a personalized treatment plan that prioritizes both your safety and the subtle, natural-looking results you’re seeking.
The skin around the neck will be cleansed, and a series of small BOTOX injections will be administered along the platysma bands. Most of our Atlanta-area patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch, and no anesthesia is required. The entire visit typically lasts less than 30 minutes, and you can return to your day immediately after the appointment.
Most of our patients will be able to return to their normal routine following their treatment. Some individuals may experience mild swelling, redness, or pinpoint bruising on the neck, but these effects typically resolve within 1 to 2 days without intervention.
To help the product settle properly, patients are advised to avoid rubbing or massaging the neck, lying flat, or engaging in vigorous physical activity for at least 4 to 6 hours post-treatment. It’s also recommended to stay upright during this window and avoid applying heat to the area.
The cost of BOTOX for neckbands in Atlanta ranges from $300 to $700 per session. During your consultation at Atlanta Oculofacial, you will receive a quote tailored to your needs.
Please note that maintenance treatments are typically required every 3 to 4 months to maintain the results, which can affect the overall cost.
