Platysmal Bands

Solutions for a More Contoured Neckline

Dr. Pierre Zakhour at his clinic in Saudi Arabia understands that visible platysmal bands can be a cosmetic concern for many patients.

These are the vertical bands that appear on the neck as a result of the platysma muscle, which runs from the chest to the lower face. While they’re a natural part of aging, they can become more prominent due to factors like sun damage, loss of skin elasticity, and genetics.

Before and after

The process

At Dr. Pierre Zakhour, we offer a safe and effective solution for reducing the appearance of platysmal bands: injectable treatments.

This minimally invasive procedure involves strategically injecting a small amount of a neuromodulator like Botox® into the platysma muscle. The neuromodulator temporarily relaxes the muscle, leading to a smoother, more defined neck contour.

Aftercare

The procedure itself is quick and relatively painless. A topical anesthetic may be applied to the area for added comfort. Following the injection, patients may experience slight redness or swelling, which typically resolves within a few days.

Aftercare is simple and straightforward. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours and minimize sun exposure for at least a week. They should also refrain from massaging or touching the treated area.
