Effects of Platysma Botox

Mechanism of Lift-Up

The platysma is a muscle that runs from the area below the corners of the mouth and ears down to the clavicle.
It is responsible for pulling the facial line downward.
By injecting Botox into the platysma, the downward pulling movement is reduced, leading to a lift-up effect.

Impact on Neck Wrinkles

Neck wrinkle treatments include hyaluronic acid, Rejuran, Profhilo, and Botox.

Hyaluronic Acid: Soft formulations like Belotero are injected along the wrinkles to fill in the lines.
Rejuran: Improves skin texture and is effective for fine lines.
Profhilo: Works well for vertical wrinkles.
Botox: Relaxes the surface movement of the neck, improving the appearance of wrinkles.

Botox Injection Effects and Duration

The effects start to appear between 3 days to 1 week after the treatment and typically last for 3-4 months.

Drawbacks of Neck Botox

Risks and Side Effects Post-Treatment

Shallow Injections: This method has low risk and no significant side effects. The neck will not become immobile.
Deep Injections: If injected too deeply, bruising may occur. Over-injection can make it difficult to move the neck.

Mistakes and Countermeasures

Misapplication: Sometimes, Botox is incorrectly used for vertical wrinkles caused by sagging. In such cases, Profhilo is more effective. Botox might worsen the condition in some cases.

Guidelines to Avoid Regret

Make sure the treatment is suitable for your condition before proceeding.

Role and Effect of the Platysma Muscle

Why Target the Platysma?

The platysma muscle causes downward movements.
By using Botox to suppress this motion, a lift-up effect can be achieved.

Relationship Between Lift-Up and Sagging Improvement

Lift-up works against gravity, while sagging follows gravity.
So, by achieving a lift-up, sagging is naturally improved.

Working on the Muscles

Suppressing the muscles that pull downward, like the platysma and the depressor anguli oris, allows for an upward movement.
