Answer: Hello,
Thank you for your question about botox treatment for platysmal bands. Botox can be used to relax these bands, reducing the lines caused by muscle tension. However some patients can have laxity in their skin caused by collagen depletion and dehydration. These patients may also benefit from treatment with skin boosters to improve the skin quality and resilience, as well as botox treatment to relax the muscle tension. Skin boosters such as Profhilo can hydrate the skin and boost production of collagen, helping to support the skin, and improve elasticity. Profhilo is recommended as a course of 2 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, and results can take around 6 to 8 weeks to appear. It may be helpful, therefore, to have Profhilo treatment then around 4 weeks later have a second treatment and botox to the neck. Results should then be visible 6 weeks later, for both the botox and Profhilo.
If you'd like to book a consultation to discuss this further, please visit my profile page on Consulting room (TD Aesthetics).
Warm regards
