Neck tightening with botulinum toxin (Platysma Botox®)
Fine lines and wrinkles in the neck area – especially horizontal lines – can make the skin appear more restless and make the neck region look older. Increased activity of the superficial neck muscles can further emphasize these changes.
The treatment is performed through a precise application of botulinum toxin into the platysma muscle. This relaxes the area, smooths the lines, and gives the skin an overall calmer and more harmonious appearance.
The result is a gentle improvement in skin texture in the neck area and an overall fresher, more balanced appearance – without surgical intervention.
Facial expressions are part of a lively and natural expression. Therefore, the goal of every treatment is not to change the expression, but to gently harmonize proportions and maintain the natural radiance of the face.
