Neck Botox is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to smooth horizontal neck lines and relax overactive neck muscles. By reducing muscle activity in the neck area, this treatment helps improve neck texture and create a smoother, more youthful appearance.

What Is Neck Botox?

Neck Botox involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific neck muscles, including the platysma. This reduces excessive muscle contraction that contributes to visible neck bands, lines, and tension.

Benefits of Neck Botox

Neck Botox may provide several aesthetic benefits, including:

• Softening horizontal neck lines
• Reducing the appearance of neck bands
• Improving overall neck smoothness
• Non-surgical treatment option
• Minimal downtime

Who Is Neck Botox Suitable For?

Neck Botox may be suitable for individuals who:

• Have visible neck lines or muscle bands
• Experience neck tightness from muscle overactivity
• Want neck rejuvenation without surgery
• Prefer gradual, natural-looking improvement

This treatment is generally not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.

Common Areas Treated With Neck Botox

Neck Botox is commonly applied to:

• Horizontal neck lines
• Vertical platysmal bands
• Lower jawline–neck transition area

How Neck Botox Treatment Works

The treatment process typically includes:

1. Assessment of neck muscle activity and skin condition
2. Cleansing and preparation of the neck area
3. Targeted injections into neck muscles
4. Immediate return to daily activities

⏱ Typical session: 15–20 minutes
🩹 Downtime: Minimal

When to Expect Results

Initial effects usually appear within 5 to 7 days, with optimal smoothing visible within 1 to 2 weeks as muscle activity decreases.

How Long Neck Botox Results Last

Neck Botox results typically last 3 to 4 months, depending on muscle strength, dosage, and individual metabolism. Maintenance treatments may help sustain results.

Neck Botox vs Surgical Neck Rejuvenation

Neck Botox differs from surgical neck procedures:

• Targets muscle activity rather than skin removal
• No incisions or anesthesia required
• Short recovery time
• Subtle, non-dramatic improvement

Neck Botox does not address excess skin or fat and may be combined with other non-surgical treatments.

• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
• Avoid massaging or pressing the neck area for 24 hours
• Avoid saunas and hot baths for 48 hours
• Remain upright for at least 4 hours post-treatment
