The platysma or skin muscle of the neck is a thin muscle located just below the skin and is closely connected to it and is located between the two collarbones and the base of the mandible.When treating the platysma muscle with botulinum toxin it is important to pay attention to the laryngeal muscles which are located just below the superficial fascia of the neck.

At the time of consultation with the specialist, it will be decided whether this procedure can give you the result you want and all aspects related to the indications, contents and risks of the procedure will be discussed.

An anesthetic cream is applied so that the patient does not feel any pain, and then the patient is asked to contract the neck muscle in order to better visualize the vertical meringues.

Take each band separately and inject small doses of botulinum toxin at a distance of 1-2 cm very superficially (at the level of the dermis). Some 4 to 8 points of botulinum toxin are needed for each band.

The purpose of this treatment is:

• reduction of the vertical bands at the neck

• by relaxing the platysma muscle, the appearance of the puppet lines can be improved

• rejuvenated appearance of the neck area

Complications that have been reported following the procedure are as follows:

• bruising at the injection site

• bruising

• redness in the neck area

• dysphagia and dysphonia in case of injection near the laryngeal muscles
